Flipping an image on a motion path

Animation
1

Hi, I can’t work out how to do what I think should be really simple and I’m guessing it’s me!

I have a fish swimming along a motion path, along the path I would like it to be able to turn the fish around so it can swim back facing the other way. Could someone kindly point me in the right direction please? I’ve tried the rotation Y keyframes but that doesn't work…help please!

Thanks so much.

Hi, I would probably try it this way…

  • The animation along the motion path takes place on the Main Timeline.
  • The orientation of the fish is controlled on the 'fischDirection' timeline (indeed with Y-rotation keyframes — no idea why that's not working for you...).
  • The button only controls the 'fischDirection' timeline → continue timeline, take a close look at that timeline and its keyframes...
