    Hello
    I have just started learning c4d. I need to ask a question. I created an object which has human body form. I put bend on legs. Animated legs with bend moving forward and backward. Now I want object to move like a ghost.

    1 . I put a keyframe on the first frame in timeline
    2. I Switch to 50th frame.
    3. I select object but it doesnt allow me to select object it selects only bend deformer.

    I tried to put object in null then I tried to select object to move and put an other keyframe on 50th frame. if I put object in null it selects object but it doesnt move then I pressed play button.

    Sorry for English.

      I tried to use model mode, object mode and animation mode. I can't select object in anyway. It only selects bend deformer

        Hi Emre,

        Call up a Null, while the Null must sit in the center (position zero, rotation zero, Scale 1.). Then place all your objects under the Null.

        Now you can move the Null and, if needed, set keyframes to that Null.

        Let me know if that works for you. If you can, share a c4d file, which can be an example file, so I can see what you have done and suggest the best practice. Just in case the workflow above isn't working,

        My best wishes for your project.
