hi all,

Let me ask one question. Can I pause Ventuz keyframe animation? It would be great if I can have that control.

Regards
Poly

Hi,

you can't pause a state driven animation as it needs to either be in a state or in transition between two states. You can however make it a controlled animation and then take over the progress control. So build your animation and then bind its control to a simple control node. Build some logic to control the progress input. You can even make pausing/unpausing smooth. However the two can't be combined, so you can't set up a state driven animation that reacts to events and then at some point just pause it. It will only work with controlled (and therefore basically stateless) animations.

I've attached such a simple example.

Cheers,
