Hi guys, right I am working on a University project ( my Uni doesn’t teach Motionbuilder) I am doing the modelling and post production for the piece and one of my mates is doing the animating.  He has created a run-cycle with my character in running in the Z-axis, basically we want to keep the run cycle but change the direction so its running in the X-axis.  I don’t know Motionbuilder at all and he is very new to it.  I know it will be something really easy but I cant find anything useful on the internet.  When we do try to key frame in a new layer the character tilts off its axis and is pulled to the side. :S .  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks. James Stuart.

OMG Move Keys tool! Haha Think I need to get my mate to do a few more tutorials on the use of motionbuilder!

There are lots of tutorials here on the Area, I have them linked from my Motionbuilder training blog.

And yes, Move keys tool is great.
