It's been great so far. My 12th grade students have a final project assignment. They are animating a children's book using the various techniques we have learned all year. One of my students has run into a problem that I am not sure how to solve.</div><div><br></div><div>He is animating the book Swimmy. He has a lot of fish objects arranged in the shape of a larger fish. As part of the story, he wants the fish to disperse and then come back into the shape of the larger fish.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there a way to capture the position of objects in a scene and bookmark it similar to the way you can set up scenes? I didn't know if a pose capture would work since each piece of the larger fish is an individual object.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that question made sense.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you in advance.</div><div><br><div>
