Hi there,
Would people mind letting me know what "buttons" (could be scripts, tools, anything really) they like to use frequently when animating?
For me I can't cope without the following, no matter what 3D package it is (ok, most ideas came from character studio ;) ):
Pose Opposite (Mirror selected objects)
Select Opposite
Store Pose
Apply Pose
Plus some quick-select shortcuts (I'm usually animating bipeds btw):
MOVE (Usually hips and feet)
L_/R_ARM (Clavicles down to wrists)
L_R_LEG (Thighs to toes)
L_/R_Fingers
Face_TopHalf (all around the eyes)
Face_BottomHalf (all around the mouth)
I work in games, so these are mainly related to simple, quick character animations. I'd be really interested to know your thoughts!
Cheers,
Andy B.
