Can you combine aniblocks with Timeline animations? I want to use the iReal butterflies in an animation, but I have no aniblocks for the rest of the animation... and I have no idea how to make them.

The Philosopher has great stuff I bought about everything he has.. But. I have never been able to add native keyframes to the same animate 2 timeline where aniblocks have been applied.. the aniblock will wipe out the native motion added to the timeline
Lucky there is a solution. .. You can add a empty aniblock to a subtrack below your original aniblock. Double click the empty aniblock to Open the aniblock on the sub-track to the show the keyframes. From here you can hand keyframe or add a BVH motions script to your motions to the empty aniblock on the sub-track. and it should retain the motion you input on the sub-track as a overlay to the original track. . this works great when you need extra motion the original aniblock won't give you. or if you need to make minor corrections, because you can hand keyframe the motion to match what ever original aniblock you use.. if you want to save the complete animation sequence after your done making the sub-track work with the original aniblock. you can right click the animate 2 timeline & select bake to timeline to both the subtrack aniblock and the original aniblock to the timeline and then right click the timeline again & save both the original track and sub-track as one NEW aniblock motion for future use. Just remember rule of thumb, the Sub-track on the timelines with empty anblocks are used as a sublimate to the original aniblock. This is a good solution so you can hand keyframe or add other aniblcok motions without wiping out the native timeline. .. its hard to explain. but that is how you add native motion to the timelines with aniblocks using the sub-track on the animate2 timeline.
play around with it for a bit and you will see what I am talking about...
Good luck
