SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 Cinema 4D Techniques: XPresso Lite, Part 2
Animating set-driven keys You'll notice a couple things happening after setting the driven parameter. First, the XP icon appears next to the object with the driven parameter. Second, the parameter has now adopted the value of the set driver.[an error occurred while processing this directive]  Because the rotation of the knob is set to zero, the light's brightness value is also zero (or off). Selecting the XP tag reveals its attributes. Cinema has applied a smart name to the tag, describing function within the tag.  In order to animate the set driven parameter, only the set driver needs to be animated. There are several ways to set a keyframe in Cinema 4D, allowing you to utilize the most efficient during production. For now, we'll animate only our single attribute. Select the knob object and CMD-click on the set driver parameter, on the letter itself (Y rotation, "H"). Under Animation-> Add Keyframe. In the timeline (Shift-F3), a new keyframe appears at your position in time on a rotation track.  Moving to the end of the project, I'll change the rotation to 360degrees, and repeat the process of adding a keyframe for the parameter (cmd-click "H", Animation->Add Keyframe).
