How To Achieve Pose Saving Without Pen Holder!

[IkerCLoN]

You'll need some scripting, but what you need is to store the objects transformation, and then load it again. It's not quite hard to create a little tool that writes this on a file (let's say a file per pose) and then read and apply it again.

Here I show you one thing I started to write time ago, but never finished. Maybe it's useful to you. Remember several things before running it:

- You need to have a 'temp' folder on your C:\ hard drive.
- Create 8 points with their default name. Since I coded a little thumbnail thingie, create a camera that looks at those points, and if you want something to render, create also some spheres and parent each one to each point.
- It only saves one 'pose' for all the points at the same time.

This code is very basic but you can make it grow until it satisfies your needs ;-)
