Biped Helper + Picker

7 votes

Biped Helper is a support interface designed to be used in conjunction with the main Biped panel.

It is intended to provide both quick access to existing Biped panel tools, as well as functionality that is not supported by the Biped panel.

 

See online guide in links section. 

 

Features include:

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.

Delete UnRemovable Layer

2 votes

You might encounter a situation where you want to remove an empty layer that you created earlier, but the delete option is grayed out in the layer manager. and you are unable to remove that layer. After all you have to remember that 3Ds Max never allows you to delete a layer while it contains nodes or the default layer called “0”. But in some rare situations, even an empty layer that you created and then finished with, may not be deletable in 3Ds Max. This happens because of some unclassified nodes that come with your imported models from other programs. These nodes are not visible in the viewport or the layer manager. The only way to eliminate them is to select those nodes using MaxScript and delete them manually, so the layer’s delete option becomes available again.
