Keyframe Align

Key frame align allows you to align an object over time based on key frames instead of placing a key on every frame. It will also align one object to another on every frame if needed. It can separate the position, rotation, and scale transforms. This script also works with biped. This was inspired by Jim Jagger's animated align and advanced align tools. I fixed an oddity with the rotation, it wont require it to be run twice on certain occasions. Latest update fixes an error with biped. A biped object with a modifier can now be interpreted by the script.

Description:
This script is for animators to Lock any object (great for IK controls) to any temporary parent, such as a handrail or a bone etc, and it bakes the animation. The user can choose to snap the control to the center of the object or with the offset still in place (offset is on by default)

While i was modeling a cinema i needed a quick way to place instances of a seat all over the place so i wrote this little script.
It aligns Copys/Instances of an object to another objects vertexes, that way i only had to pull a few splines and was done with the seats.

As its only a small tool i dont plan to include it into my ToolSet but for its usefulness i thought others could use it too to save some time so i upload it here.

(macroScript)

Description:
Creates a point dummy, and parents it to the reference object's vertex/center,
using controller expressions.

This is useful to parent other objects to a specific part of a deforming
mesh, or an object whose transforms have been 'baked' (e.g. point cache).

I have found it specially useful, in FX work, for particle/fluid emitters.

Notes:
- Only the 'center' method can be used with splines.
- When using 'vertex' method, the dummy's rotation will align to the
