Hi! I got linked to the Arc Tracker recently and began to wonder what more good plugins/scripts I have missed by now. So I was wondering what nifty plugins/scripts do you guys use to help you speed up the process? Any must-have plugins/scripts out there?
Here are the commands for copy/paste/delete. MEL scripts. just add them to a custom hotkey or shelf timeSliderPasteKey false; (paste to current frame) timeSliderClearKey; (delete current frame keys) timeSliderCopyKey; (copy current frame keys)
I use a really helpful free script called Parent Master ( http://www.paolodominici.com/products/zvparentmaster/ ), It's really great for quick and easy parenting of objects, passing things regularly from hand to hand, etc. It saves some time!
I too are a member of the holy church of add/remove inbtween. Seriously, hands down the best way to adjust timing that I know of. No fiddling around with expending the timeline and selecting keys to drag around. ALT+z and ALT+x is where it's at. Your're in a world of pain if you use shelfbuttons for this kinda stuff, makes…
Hey Connecta For me the most important thing I use is tween-machine and its equivalents which I first heard about from this amazingly helpful tutorial: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwIJatjxMw[/ame] (If you have never watched this then please do) It lets you set a pose on anything in your scene at a point between…
Agreed, it is an amazing script, saves a lot of time. Also tweenMachine is god sent. Also in addition to copy paste and delete, i have set hotkeys for the setInfinity command, since I find myself using them relatively often: setInfinity -pri cycle; and setInfinity -poi cycle; I am pretty sure you can use them together in…
I use 2 scripts mainly. for timing. I have them as hotkeys so i can easily adjust my timing across my entire shot in the timeline timeSliderEditKeys addInbetween; (when you have a control selected, if you press this, it will add an empty frame to your animation, whereever your current frame is, effectively shifting your…
ya, creating your own hotkeys is definitely highly suggested. Since I dont do modelling, I actually swapped out my 1, 2 keys. That way my hand is always right near the same area as the widget switchers. ` = toggle playback (saves time from having to move your mouse from your controls to the timeline to press play and stop)…
I use Alt+w/e/r to reset values to 0 in my controllers. Inspired by Blender's alt+transform shortcuts. This works either by selection or current character set (which is default with no selection). This is very helpful when moving things around and to reset things back to default. Very useful for both rigging and animation.…
