Let’s consider you’re working with a spline named Line01. There’s a useful command that you should that can help you to find the answer, it’s “show”,…

You can also avoid repeating the copy line, like this : Considering you’ve selected the object you want to clone. copies = #() for i = 1 to 3 do …

You can use “getFilenameFile” getFilenameFile maxfilename See “File Name Parsing” in the mxs help file.

Well, my code won’t work this way. You first have to use the controller.keys arrays to know what is the lowest keyframe. And then apply your keyfram…

What kind of transformations are you looking at ? One solution would be to use the controller.keys value, as it returns an array of all the keyframes…
