Hi!

I´ve got a question concerning 3d actor animation. My "actor" is a forklift with a very simple "move down" animation to try things out. The animation doesn´t do anything fantastic, it should only move the forks down.

It fits perfectly into the 2D scene,  but after the animation has played my forks jump back to the top position. Is there any way of stopping the animation  on the last frame so that the forks are down?

Thanks,
Oli

Everything works fine in the DirectXViewer, no jumps or hickups. When I switch the LOOP on the problem occors the first time and the animation runs smoothly. What could be the error?

I suppose this happens when the "actor" does the smooth transition from idle animation to the fork animation. You may want to set the transition from "idle" to "whatever" animation to zero milliseconds using actor.SetAnimTransitionTime().

After the animation has played my forks jump back to the top position. Is there any way of stopping the animation  on the last frame so that the forks are down?

Make a looping animation with a single keyframe (fork down) and play it after the move down animation. it will loop forever keeping the fork down.

No, I made a mistake with the pivot in my 3D program.

Works fine. Thanks!
