Hey Wayne, thank you for the reply.

Yes that makes sense, I am aware of the active object concept and the “nothing’s selected but something’s active” concept too. 🙂 It was explained in the Blender Basics course. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised these concepts carry over to the graph editor, but I guess I forgot how uniform Blender is. 🙂

One thing I also don’t understand is why does making an animation cyclic turn the motion path into a perfect circle? What if I want it to be this odd egg-shape except loopy?

Ok, I think I managed to recreate it. When making monkey the parent I had to use the Object Properties tab and not the Ctrl + P shortcut.

I know it has to do with the inverse matrix that’s applied but I’m not sure why the results differ between the two:

1. Make monkey the parent, apply the inverse matrix => the rig is still positioned in relation to world’s origin.

VS

2. Make monkey the parent, don’t apply the inverse matrix => the rig is now positioned in relation to monkey’s origin.

Why?

I tried changing the Windows system settings but that didn’t affect the edit mode cursor.
