"Adds custom attributes to any dummy that parents an IK chain. Custom Attributes include Swivel Angle. Show Trajectory. Dummy Size and a quick jump to the IK chain’s motion panel.
When having freeform forward kinematic animation - such as motion capture input - you may want to assign an IK solver to the animated chain - doing this will not destroy the underlying animation - and using this script - you will be able to snap the IK Solver Goal motion to the FK animation.
Allows you to toggle on and off the interpolation of keys on the fly. This allows you to do pose to pose timing for character animation etc. This new version now works with object parameters such as Height and Segments as well as modifiers. One good use of this is for working with the morpher to see your key poses. See the comments at the top of the script for instructions and limitations.
