Looks promising...

Could you please give an example of usage, and under what normal conditions one would need to use this?

Moving Key frames
http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/608/

Usage:
For animators

Situation:
Move pose figure of frame 30 to 40

Move keyFrame Figure:
1.- "Memorize current Figure pose" frame 30
2.- Run Script ACDZ_DeleteKeyFigure.dsa (Shorcut)
3.- go frame 40 and "Restore current Figure pose "

in DS3, i get access to bone morphs using something like

 
 var obj = node.getObject();
 if( !obj )
 {
  return;
 }
 var n = obj.getNumModifiers()
 for( var i = 0; i < n; i++ )
 {
  modif = obj.getModifier( i );
  if( modif.inherits( "DzMorph" ) )
  {
   processProp( modif.getValueChannel() )
  }
 }

in DS4.5 only the skeleton has an object,
if i remember correctly the names of the morph channels in DS 4.5
lets you know which bone is affected by each morph

Thanks casual by info.
And thanks by your scripts

I used this script but it didn't work when I used Universal tool and move the hand.

I want to make the push-up animation but I can't fix the hands on the ground, it always move a little bit between 2 actions: up and down.

Plz show me how to do this animation?

Demo the animation I want to do: https://youtu.be/5eSM88TFzAs

Thanks a lot!

mCasual · March 2016

if you learn and use the two following scripts, you can get very very solid animations like that

- mcjAutoLimb2015 - the whole legs and arms animation for the given hand/feet positions

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts6/mcjautolimb2015

- mcjKeepOrient - the orientation of William's hands and feet

https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjkeeporient

-----

for this animation i also used

- mcjHoldOn ( Gabrielle's feet orientation )

- mcjParent ( to make Gabrielle's feet targets follow William's hips )

- mcjCycleFilter yo get good looping on Gabrielle's arm movements )

"snapping leg" problem can be avoided by setting the knee limits to forbid negative bend angles -

and by making sure the feet targets are never physically out of reach

Other way with "Tool Active Pose" (EASY).

- Select nodes foots, hands.

- Toggle Pins.

- Select Chest - Move Up - down (Tool Active Pose).

This week, DAZ Studio up Tutorial.

With universal Tool (IK)

- Select nodes foots, hands.

- Pin Translation/Rotation.

- Select Chest - Move Up - down.

"Tool Active Pose" is good for posing and i should use it more often!

for animations where you want feet or hands to not move a millimeter

for dozens of frames, or for an animations where hands/feet must stay "glued" to something or someone else

( ex: bike pedaling ) then mcjAutoLimb is still it i think

Ruphuss · March 2016

active pose only uses translations as far as i know

so it creates morphs where you do not want them

sorry to say but animating with this when you have to move the hip is not possible with out trembling feet or hands

or did this tool get an update ?

if the author of this videos creates a decent walking animation with active pose i would stand corrected

but it wont happen

mjcautolimb 2015 in combination with keeporient is best we have at the moment

edit2:

amy is having fun i see

where can i get an animatable bike like that ?

Ruphuss · March 2016

example of mcasuals scripts here with modified push up animation from anymatter

starring also the nice Stanley from mythcon

turn your speakers loud and watch fullscreen

renders are just opengl for quickness

V4 bends bad at the wrists

hi Ivy

lots of work in your video

i know this

but how do i embed a video from vimeo here ?

Ivy · March 2016

I hope this helps follow below.

PS: I always add a link as well. because some people may have some virus scanners and other security features that might prevent them from viewing embed videos in their browsers
