Taking the foot example a little further, while the foot is on the ground, you’ll want to prevent it
from sinking through the oor. Although you can do this by setting the interpolation between the
keyframes to linear to straighten out the curve, this may cause problems later if you need to adjust
the keys. The clamp function is used to straighten out the curve (just like linear interpolation would
do) between keys that have the same values. However, as soon as one of the keys is set to a different
value, the clamp is no longer applied and normal soft interpolation is used instead.
New Marker
This command creates a new marker on the Timeline ruler. Markers are ideal for simplifying the look
and navigation of the Timeline. After calling this command, a dialog opens that enables you to dene
the timeframe position and the name and color of the marker.
You can also create new markers directly on the Timeline ruler. To do this, Ctrl-click on the lower half
of the Timeline ruler. Markers that you create in this way will be numbered serially and will be assigned
the color of the layer chosen in the New Marker dialog. To change a marker’s attributes, double-click
the marker and, in the dialog that opens, set the parameters as desired.
2D Sound Rendering
With 2D sound rendering, CINEMA 4D creates uncompressed stereo WAV les
in 16 bits @ 44.1 kHz.
