Hello forum,
I've been asked by a client to handle a bit of animation using CAT in 3ds max. So far I've ever only been in touch with Character Studio. I haven't had the chance to work with CAT yet. I've looked around a bit (mind you, I haven't done extensive research) and could only find a right-click menu to interact with the CAT rig.
A few years ago I remember seeing CAT being handled as a plugin just like CS at the time it hand a nice GUI. But now I can't seem to find it.

Does any of you polycounters know of a good GUI/script/interface to handle poses and animations clips in CAT?

Thanks for the help!

    Its all in the main cat helper object- mixed between the modifier and motion panels.

    Word to the wise though.... its massively unstable and the retargetting is appalling compared to CS

    I see. Yes, I did look around there but did not find any pose storing/pasting. Would that be there too?

    Unfortunately I don't have a choice using CS. This is a provided model and rig.

    Would you know of any custom script/plugin that would help a bit?

    Thanks for the reply!
