Hi all, I have just started doing the tutorials for KeyFactory when I ran into a problem. In the first tutorial on page 128 it tells you to assign elasticity to each of the six balls and then recalculate. When I do this I can see no difference than when they were all set the same. I went through it twice and made sure I didn't miss anything. Is there a step left out of the manual? Also on the next page, 129, it says that when you change the total number of frames in the Keyframer it will automatically update the End Frame in the KFBNC…………didn't happen. If I missed something could you please fill me in. Thanks, Andrew Sinagra Digital Art & Motion, Inc.

Static Friction and Static Elasticity buttons make the KF use the Elast. and Friction values from the static object (the floor). I ran into the same problem. There are a few other bugs and simple things that it's missing (like random rotation speed). But for some things it's indespensible. Good Luck, – Ron

I finally figured out that the default settings were not what I wanted and that I had to go in and turn everything off. Thanks for the help…. Andrew Sinagra Digital Art & Motion, Inc.
