Add 360 to keyframe values
Here’s a little mel snippet that I found occasionally useful while animating, all these commands do is add (or subtract) 360 from a keyframe value – which is perfect for those rotational values that need to come down (or go up).
Anyway, to add 360 degrees:
keyframe -e -r -vc 360;
Subtract 360 degrees:
keyframe -e -r -vc -360;
I’ve found this useful in certain cases (gimbal lock?). And hopefully someone can find this useful as well.


You can type the following into any numeric field too…
+=360 or -=360 or *=2 or /=7 etc
Pick the keys and enter that command. Just another way to skin that mel cat.
