[Closed] changing keyrames colors


is there a way to specify the color of an keyframe… I mean, for example, all custom attributes are BLACK by default, so if I got… let say an object that contains 3 scripted CAs, so: is there a variable to set an arbitrary color to those keyfremes shown in the timeline?

if there is not… it would be a nice feature to include in a future version dont you think?

You might want to try the colorMan interface to the color manager (do a search in maxscript ref). There are options there to change key colours.

I check out the colorMan, maybe I miss to say what I want to give a unique color to each sCA, Im re reading it right now but at first glance it seem to allow to change the global value of an Predefined colors…

I will give it more carefull reading and find out if I could put a new category to each CA and linked to the controller somehow… Im not so good versed in scripts but CAs are very simple to understand…

so the
CA #1 ei: “IK FK blending” could be gray 50%
CA #2 ei: “finger curl” could be orange%
and so on…

any tip would be great…!
