I noticed while using the "e-key" that there are other timeline keyboard shortcuts including the "m-key" which creates what I assume is a marker. Is there a way to label that marker?

Thanks again!!!

@0gnaws0 Hey Ognaws0! How've you been? Use CTRL-M to create a marker and name it.

@bitsofblender - Hey John - doing great, my Friend. I see how to create the marker (M-key), but not sure how to (re)name it after creating. All I see is a little inverted carot in the timeline. And what does the "offset" value indicate when you're moving it?

Thanks Bro!

@0gnaws0 Use CTRL-M again to rename. The offset value is how far you've moved it from its original location.

Neat! And what about arks? I didn't get that form the "Introducing Character Animation With Blender 3D" DVD.... :S

Thanks!

@ScaroDj Arks?

@bitsofblender About the "Arc Enemy" chapter in the "Character Animation" DVD, but I found it, it was as simple as, while in Pose Mode, hitting W then clicking on "Calculate Paths" and on 2.5 is hidden in the Pose menu under Motion Paths --> Calculate :D Although it might still be a good subject for a future show :P
