Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Problem with animating

I made this animation and it works perfectly but there's one little problem. There's a clock in the scene and I can't get the arrows to move in the right direction they are constantly moving backwards instead of forwards. I don't understand why I tried a lot of things and I tried to make the arrows again and again but everytime it gives the same problem. Sometimes it moves a while in the good direction but thean another keyfram later it moves backwards again. Does anyone know why and can anyone help me change it?! It has to be finished by monday because its for a school assignment!

Not sure what version of Maya you're using, but I can't open it in Maya 5. Maybe the PLE? Those files won't open in registered copies of Maya. Sorry.

My guess is you are animating one of your rotation axis from 0 to 360 (or something like that). Try changing the end value to -360 (or whatever value, you get the idea).
