Hi there,
I have six sliders controlling the finger curls on a character and wondered (if the CA was identical on the other hand) if it was possible to have a “paste animation to other hand”, rather like biped’s track copy and paste. I looked into the ref and was unsure whether to use copyPasteKeys or [b]mapKeys/b I’m guessing you’d be able to do a loop for the Attributes on the attribute modifier with a map struct to extract and copy the keys from the other hand. but im a little unsure how to go about this. thanks in advance.
yep you can do it by maxscript but the easyest and quickest way should be use the paul Neale atributer holder. that you can download from his website www.paulneale.com.
Yo hace copy and paste and you can have a library of pose because it allow you to save and load poses.
if you whan to see the code is a ms so you can see how he saves and loads data and copy and paste data.
or you can do a save animation and later edit the mapping so you can paste animtion to one hand to the other.
thanks for your reply luigi –
I’ve been using Pauls tools for a while now and couldn’t like without them. The PEN attribute mod is similar to what i want to do but i wanted to select a set of keys on the whole animation track on a particular slider (or set of sliders) and paste it to another, effectively getting key data and duplicating the values onto the other, identical CA def. I will take a look to see how mr neale does it tho

Copy | Paste Animation.
this a nice script for copy and paste animation in controller ,
By default max copy the controller so can broke wiring… but with this one you dont get this problem only ocpy and `paste the leys inside the controller.
So you can copy and paste the animation from the 6 tracks to the other tracks.
Hope this help.
Ya version 2x of PEN Attribute Holder doesn’t handle animation copy and paste but version 3x will if I ever get around to completing it. You can rip appart the code in mine and see how I’m getting at the tracks, from there it is just getting the keys.
thankyou both for your help, i will report back on that if i get any joy.
