Script comes pre-installed in the Unofficial trueSpace Updates - https://www.united3dartists.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=55
Installation:
- install the persistent base if not already installed
- install the new floating panel script
- install the new global function set script
- drag the node into the link editor and press the install button
- delete the node from the scene after install is complete
Controls:
- Set Actor - select an actor for Anim to Root
- Actor Anim to Root - transfer animation from the actor object to the skeleton root,
improved version from the GLTF scripts.
Required for many exporters. TODO test on bvh imported skel - need remove skel anim after?
- New Skeleton - create a skeleton that has identity matrix on skeleton and skeleton root.
Exporters require actor default pose with skeleton and mesh created with 0 origin for best results.
- Skel Root Selector - select the skeleton root. Use case?
TODO figure it out. Cant select during Dynapose and have new back actor to root so maybe not needed?
- Re-Key Actor - go to each key time and set a key, used after deleting keys from specific channels.
Required before Actor Anim to Root if channel keys were deleted
- Scale Skeleton - can be used to resize an imported bvh skeleton and animation
- List Handles Joint and Bone - list a handles associated bone and parent joint in the log view.
Hard to tell what bone a handle is assigned to after the fact.
- Mesh Morph Anims to Actor - needed for gltf export, transfers a mesh morph animation up to the actor level, TODO test fbx
- Combine Morph Anims - from gltf and needed for gltf export
- Joint Orientation Control - jointorient
- IK Handle Footprint - ikfootprints
- Character FK Controls - fkcontrols
Notes:
- UI purposely ugly to express unfinished state
- IDEA: bake skel root anim to actor or skeleton
- fbx export needs frame -10 def pose, gltf does not
- most actor anims cant be adjusted with curve editor
- Included Joint Orientation Control, IK Handle Footprint and Character FK Controls will live inside this actor utilities for future updates.
