for those not willing to install the mzp but still interested, I recorded a video showing the usage of the tool:

Hi Georg,
I love it, another top quality script. Also like Paul I’m intrigued at your rollout style.
BTW, are you going to update you website with the second version?
and maybe you should add an ‘isdeleted’ to your update code. – I see you fixed this tres bien!

re: animated lorenz
I managed it to implement an animated && renderable version of the lorenz attractor:
http://www.count-as-one.net/figures/lorenz/
I’d liked to use a “scripted simple shape plugin” – I am not sure if this works after all this tries and errors I could try it again.
I tried a parented/grouped combination of CA and script controllers but ran into circular dependecies.
I tried CA only and realized why there are script controllers.
I tried script controllers with CA support but this only worked within the viewports and didn’t render.
So I had to write a script that bakes the animation into a brand new spline vertex animation.
How to package this to a tool – I don’t know.
Some stuff is better stored at the mystical side of the attic.
