Realtime Spring
After watch a few rigging reel using xsi or maya,I think that it would be much easier in animating if the rig has realtime delay effect.
But I was confuse how to do in max until I got a sample scene from zhangy(www.zhangy.com).
After study that scene,I wrote this script.I give a name:realtime spring.But it doesn't have the "shake" effect,I mean when the dynamic object reach the driver object's position it would stop.So it actually make a delay effect.
a demo video shows how to use it: http://www.seageo.com/Product/maxRTSscript/videotour.rar
and 2 video about making loop animation:

A fish swimming scene(max9): http://www.seageo.com/show/UPLOAD/fish(max9).zip
It's preview animation:http://www.seageo.com/show/UPLOAD/fish.rar
My english is bad,so I recode the video in chinese,hope you understand the usage.
I am not good at R&D too,so it has much more space to improve.
Maybe someone would make it better.
ps:script tested in max8 and max9.
Thanks to:
Zhangy(make the basic idea)
Mingyu (for testing ang making fish example scene)
update version 1.1
fixed:error when the scene has biped object.

*add filter fucntion to manage spring node by comment.
*loop before bake:loop animation few times before baking,get stable action in loop animation
*bake animation speed,when you get good movement with different animation speed,use this funciton to bake it.
*subsample,use "bake with subsample frames" button to do more percise calulation.
update version 1.4

This script is soooo cool for
This script is soooo cool for fish animation or general wavy secondary motion
One thing I noticed: I created a bone chain, selected the first bone and hit "create chain" in the script. so far so good. when I moved the bone, nothing really happened. The "realtime" preview in the viewport does only work for me, when Autokey-mode is OFF, and when the first bone of the hierarchy is parented to any control object. If I then move/rotate that control object, the realtime effect is visible in the viewport, just to note for anyone having the same problem.
Cheers
