A matter of direction
My doubt is the following:
I was animating my object in a way I setted 2 keys using only one axis to rotate it. From the first key to the second, I only rotated, say, 30 degrees. When I play the animation, Maya creates the interpolation backwards, like if the object was rotating the other 330 degrees.
How can I do to revert the way Maya calculates the rotation?
Thanks.

Try to to set the keys inputting the angle values in the rotation channel and key it.

I tried both methods and the both worked right.
One problem I see when working with the channel box is that when the numbers are messed up it gets a little complicated. And when dealing with rigged objects, I can't always seem to reset the tranform values for the joints.
Think there's tools in rigging techniques that would help in that cases...I'll try to learn them.
Thanks again.
