In the past days
I've been researching what kind of scripts might be helpful while animating and
one of the things which I found more tedious to do is selecting and
manipulating joints and control shapes.
While browsing for
custom scripts developed by professionals I stumbled upon this picker tool
which looks very interesting:
As stated from the description in the website: abxPicker provides artists, animators, and character TDs with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for creating and using character control Interfaces. Using drag and drop, you can create, position, resize, and edit buttons to select and animate character controls.
"
This tool enables
the user to create their own pickers through a drag and drop interface and then save those
interfaces to be reused later on. I believe that the tool proves to
be very useful but I want to research this concept further and maybe find a way
to automate the picker creation process so that the user will only have to
choose which part of the model has to be "captured" and all the
information regarding joints and control shapes will be automatically inferred
from their position in the world.
