It seems every studio has their own animated align tool. I’m wondering what cool features yours has, and possibly how you did them.
Some standards are:
[ul]
[li]Align X, Y, and/or Z position, XYZ Rotation, and/or X, Y, and/or Z scale.
[/li][li]Adjustable frame range for alignment.
[/li][li]Key-to-key or every frame
[/li][li]Maintain offset.
[/li][li]Act as child- with or without rotation.
[/li][/ul]
How do you handle things like multiple selections? Many times the mocap animators here need multiple windows, so I put the UI, etc., as a string and increment the rollout variable each time I call it to create a new window (since it seems only one instance of a rollout can exist at a time in Max). Do you use things like selection sets, do you remember recent selections for the Master/Slave object, etc.
