FrameRate File Parser

0 votes

Parses through a directory and converts all files to the desired framerate

Bip2root

1 vote

Copies horizontal position of the biped onto the root object and links the biped to the root.

Two useful uses for this script:

  1. Use it to create a root for your biped (using the Static Root option) - so you can place your biped with animation anywhere in the scene without adding extra keyframes. Simply move the root instead of the biped itself.
  2. Some game engines require a moving root to calculate biped's position in the game environment space. With a moving root the biped itself actually stays in place and only the root moves.

Blinker

0 votes

Automatically or manually adds blinks to a blink morph-target.

Define your head that has a morpher modifier on it and name the morph-target's name of the blink. If you have a long animation you can add auto-blinks to your head. You can also add single blinks at the current time manually.

Frame-Switch

0 votes

Used to quickly switch between two given frames.

This is very useful if you want to compare two states between two frames (i.e. - character's pose on one frame and another). Simply press the Switch button continuously to switch between the two frames.

Frames-2-Milliseconds (Frames2MS)

1 vote

A quick converter from Frames to Milliseconds and vice versa

I/O Morpher

1 vote

Exports or imports morpher data to or from a morpher.

Useful for copying morpher information from one file to another or from one head to another.

LinksDisplay

0 votes

Place on your toolbar and toggle the button to view hierarchy links. Shows your links like a skeleton.

Morpher-Extract

1 vote

Extracts all morph targets from a morpher, applying current changes from other morph targets.

Helpful use: Modify all your morph targets to have the same change. Create a new target with the change you want (say - having horns on a head) and add it to your main object at 100 percent on. Now use this tool and it will extract all your targets with the additional change. Now you can reload them all back to your main object with the change you wanted.

Selection-Switch

1 vote

Switches quickly between two selections (objects or sets).

Useful for any type of jumping back and forth between two objects - like in alignments.

Time-Ranger

2 votes

Sets up time-ranges in Max and embeds it to the max file.

Very useful tool when you have multiple time-ranges in your single animation file. Mostly used for games - but can be used for many other purposes as well.

Sometimes it's useful to have many animations of a character in one file - so its start and end positions match between the different animations. TimeRanger lets you choose which section of the animation to show in the timeline.
