Hi,
I have an array of objects that I'll use the same animation for all each object with a small delay, to achieve a whip like effect. I'd like to animate the first object and copy the animation to the other objects. How should I do it? Thanks, |

You can use the Animation Mixer and offset the object animation on different tracks. |

It depends on what kind of animations you want to make...
If transformations only, then it is a good idea to select and animate all the objects at once and then offset each animation in the Dope Sheet. |

A simple way to do it:
1. Copy/Paste Animation on all your objects 2. Select the 2nd object and use Animation / Sequence / All parameters on selection and enter the desird offset. 3. Repeat for rest using larger offsets. |

when I copy/paste an animation the objects move to the first object position, center to center.
What should I do? |

Just select the Fcurve you want to offset in the Animatoin Editor and translate entire curve up or down until the object is in the correct first position. ;) |
