8 In the Rotation List rollout, highlight Euler XYZ in the Layers window,
then click Set Active.
9 In the Euler Parameters rollout, change the Axis Order to ZYX.
Now you can animate the rotation independent of the LookAt rotation
control. It should now behave the same as the Local Euler controller that
was available in versions 4 and earlier.
Interface
Euler parameters are displayed in the Motion panel.
The Euler parameters rollout is displayed when Rotation is selected in the
PRS
Parameters rollout
on page 3220.
Axis Order Selects the order that rotations are calculated. The default is X,Y,Z
order, where the X axis is rotated first.
X Displays controller properties for X axis rotation angle.
Y Displays controller properties for Y axis rotation angle.
Z Displays controller properties for Z axis rotation angle.
Each axis uses its own independent controller using the float data type. For
example, the X and Y Rotation axes could use Bezier Float controllers, while
the Z rotation axis uses a Noise Float controller.
