List of tasks

LOCATORS

• 50%, 90%, 110%, 200% - Multiply scale of selected locators by selected percentage.
• GET - Get approximated size of all selected locators.
• SET - Set size to all selected locators. Right click for specific scale values.
• Hide Parent - Deactivate visibility on parent locator. Usually better to use with "Sub Locator" checkbox activated.
• Sub Locator - Create an extra locator inside the main locator for additional local control.
• Locator Size - Initial size of new created locators.
• Locator - Create new locator on the world origin.
• Match - Create and match locators to selected objects.
• Parent - Create and parent constraint locators to selected objects.
• Pin - Create locators on selected objects and bake animation. After that parent constrain original objects back to locators.
  • without reverse constraint - Do not constrain original object to created locator.
  • Pin POS - The same as "PIN" but only for translations.
  • Pin ROT - The same as "PIN" but only for rotations.
• Relative - Create locators on selected objects and bake animation. The last locator becomes the parent of other locators.
  • skip last object reverse constraint - Ignoring last object constraining.
  • without reverse constraint - Do not constrain original object to created locator.
• AIM SPACE SWITCHING
  • Offset - offset from original object. Need to use non-zero value.
  • Axis - X, Y, Z axes.
  • Reverse - flip selected axis.
  • Create - create aim locator. Original object will be constrained to this locator.

BAKING

• <, >, 1, 2, 3, 4 - Baking sample rate, keys will be baked with each N key. Default value is 1. Minimal value is 0.001.
• Bake Classic - Regular maya bake "Edit/Keys/Bake Simulation". Use sample rate.
  • Custom - Alternative way to bake. The same if you just set key every frame on time range. Also works with animation layers. Doesn't support Sample Rate.
• Bake Classic Cut Out - Regular maya bake "Edit/Keys/Bake Simulation". Use sample rate. Keys outside of time range or selected range will be removed.
  • Custom - Alternative way to bake. The same if you just set key every frame on time range. Also works with animation layers. Keys outside of time range or selected range will be removed. Doesn't support Sample Rate.
• By Last - Bake selected objects relative to the last selected object as if they were constrained. Use sample rate.
  • BL-POS - Only for position. Bake selected objects relative to the last selected object as if they were constrained. Use sample rate.
  • BL-ROT - Only for rotation. Bake selected objects relative to the last selected object as if they were constrained. Use sample rate.
• World - Bake selected objects relative to the world.
  • W-POS - Only for position. Bake selected objects relative to the world.
  • W-ROT - Only for rotation. Bake selected objects relative to the world.

ANIMATION

• DELETE KEYS
  • DEL Animation - Delete all animation on selected objects.
  • DEL Nonkeyable - Delete Nonkeyable keys on selected objects.
  • DEL Static - Delete all static curves on selected.
• CURVE FUNCTIONS
  • Euler Filter - Filter curve by euler filter. Fix some curve issues.
• INFINITY
  • Constant - Set Curve pre/post Infinity to Constant.
  • Linear - Set Curve pre/post Infinity to Linear.
  • Cycle - Set Curve pre/post Infinity to Cycle.
  • Offset - Set Curve pre/post Infinity to Cycle Offset.
  • Oscillate - Set Curve pre/post Infinity to Oscillate.
• OFFSET / DESYNC
  • <<<=, <<=, <=, =>, =>>, =>>> - Move animation on selected objects in time. The animation will move relative to the index of the selected object. The best way to desync animation. Works with selection in the channel box.

TIMELINE

• << - Set minimal outer timeline value.
• < - Set minimal inner timeline value.
• > - Set maximum inner timeline value.
• >> - Set maximum outer timeline value.
• OUTER - Expand timeline range to outer range.
• INNER - Expand timeline range to inner range.
• FOCUS - Set timeline inner range on selected range by mouse.
