setting keys on parent nulls (then slow feedback) 2004-03-06 - By Ben Kilgore
Back
Quick fix:
If you are not animating the 10K or need to see them whilst you are, put
everything you are animating under a model, export it,
do your animation in a separate scene, and bring that model back when you
are done animating. This way you don't have to merge.
