So I’ve written up a little script that reads in any bvh file (including the ones exported by the zing thingy) and builds a rig for it and loads the a…

pudgerboy: Sorry for being negative, but the output from these automated phoneme plugins just doesn’t cut it for me. 🙁 It’s not an automated …

Maybe this weekend I’ll have time to experiment with this (the 8 month old makes this kind of thing hard).

It creates a function called MB_Slider_Update_cb which steps through a list of controls (I assume on a rollout) and when it finds a slider control, …

Don’t have max in front of me, but if you toggle the objects to “by layer” (rather than “by object”) in the object properties for both display options…
