Things to do.....a lot of work is being put into updating this script with a handful of new functions and controls. Be sure to check back often for updates!
I hope you find this as useful as I do. This is open source and free for anyone to add to.
Please post a link to anything you to with the script. I'd like to see what you come up with. I think this script could grow into something pretty interesting.
ENJOY!

hi, great script, but can can
hi, great script,
but can can update version also copy any keys, not just transform keys?
like any other parameters of objects or modifiers, that would be great to copy those keys onto any other parameter

HI John, I attach 2 files.
HI John, I attach 2 files. one is paul neal`s ogre from his rigging dvd. it is a complete facial rigging character . when you open it you can see that the face has lots of spline controllers objects . when you move one of then you can see that the controller object moves that area of the face in a realistic way. every controller is linked to bones via position and rotation controllers list. This mean that this spline controllers objects are not free. they already have lost of constraints or controller lists. the second file is a TRC file (in a .RAR file) which is a facial mocap data made from a program called zign track. what I would like to do is to apply this mocap data to the spline controllers objects in the face of the ogre so this way I can add realistic facial animation to my characters. I tried it with your script and many others , but it doesn`t work I think because every spline controller object in the ogre`s face has lots of position and rotation controllers list. when I try to pass the animation from one sphere in the mocap data to a spline controller object it pops up the script windown saying something like position y or x or z . something like that. Now I wrote once paul neal asking him for this issue. he told me that this has something to do with matrix transformation, whatever that means . the problem is that im not an scripter and I dont know how to do this. well I hope you can help me with this that Im sure wil l be usefull to other users.
best regards,
Ivan
This Script is Top Notch.
This Script is Top Notch. Magnificent! Thanks a bunch. Works great in Max version 8 too. :-)
Hey wicp thank you. I'm glad
Hey wicp thank you. I'm glad you like the script and find it useful. If you want to setup a little sample scene of something that resembles what you're trying to do and upload it, we will be able to look into fixing the problem easier if that works for you? Just upload it whenever you get a chance and just describe what you want to do and when the error occurs.

Added intensity parameters.
Added intensity parameters. This allows you to randomize the values of copied keys. Right now it only affects the position keys. Additional support for all axes coming soon!
