OVERVIEW

This exercise is designed to be an application of the information learned in Chapter 5 of the Animation Bootcamp course. The assignment is to add believable overlapping-action to Torque's antenna, giving it an appealing spring-y-ness.

INSTRUCTIONS

Download the Antenna Overlap: Source Files from the Downloads tab and open the unzipped .blend file with Blender.
Animate Torque's antenna so it reads springy and flexible, dragging behind the body's action. Try not to make it too flexible and also not too stiff.
Render your animation as an openGL viewport render.
Upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo.
Finally, submit your exercise by clicking the Submit Exercise button in the top-right corner of this page and pasting your video's URL.

Antenna Rig Control 2.8

A little bit lost during animation in 2,8 version of the scene... I can see and can animate rig controls for root, spin, eyes etc.... But I can't see rig for the antenna. I don't see controls for it and I can't animate bones for it, because I can't see them either. What did I miss?

Torque keeps disappearing?

I am having a very annoying problem where everytime i save my file and come back an error message pops up before opening my file and then torque is missing and i cannot figure out why i try linking him again and that doesnt work either. also how am i supposed to get the keyframes from the head the same as the antenna? Keep having a problem with that am i supposed to link the whole antenna while doing the keyframes for the head?

adding the keyframes for the antenna

adding the keyframes for the antenna

When I add the key frames for the antenna it will just move the keyframe added to the very last position. For example if I add a keyframe at frame 10 and then add one at frame 20 the one from frame 10 disappears and it just leaves that solid yellow line.

Sorry for the confusing wording. Here's some screenshots to help. These are for the last two keyframes at 29 and 39, but I tried to add one more at frame 19 and it just moved the keyframe to the last one added after each added keyframe. This feels terribly worded, sorry again.

It's not a big deal but just wondering what I'm doing differently.
