CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Non-Linear Animation
Once you have finished setting all your keyframes click on the “Add” button in the Attribute Manager. If you do
not see this button it is probably because the Motion tag or Null Object are not selected. Simply select either
the “Monkey” Null Object or its blue Motion tag.
If you have done everything correctly a Layer 1 should have been added after clicking on the Add button. Layer
1 will automatically be made the active layer. You will also notice that the keyframes we just set are no longer
visible but the monkey head still moves in accordance to these if the animation is played. This is due to the fact
that, in contrast to the Motion System, the Animation Layer System adds keys with each layer without deleting
the previously created keys. In our case the previously created keys are not visible because they belong to Layer
0, which is not currently active. Create a few new movements (of course with new keyframes) and play the
new animation.
