Hey, I wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on. I’ve already built most of the features I had in mind, like creating buttons from control selections, aligning and flipping them, snapping, using background PNGs, SVN import, and a bunch of other editing tools.

On the user side, there’s button selection, pose buttons, and buttons that can trigger Python scripts. That said, I still have a few open questions, especially about the Python buttons and how to make certain types of snippets easier for users to create.

One feature I really like is that the same picker works across different characters as long as they share the same naming. There’s a simple menu where you can pick a rig from those in the Apex Animate node your are visualizing and start working with it. If you want to switch characters, you just change the name, which keeps things really simple.

Let me know what you think .

looks awesome

I’m releasing this tool next week. If you want a preview of everything it can do, the full documentation is already available.MK_APEX_Anim_Picker_Docs [matijakos.github.io]

The tool is out!
