The way it works in LightWave is the program has a list of installed plugins/scripts, and when the scene is written it only saves the name of the script in the scene, not the absolute path, so you just have to have the script in the LW plugins directory, not anywhere else. I'm kind of torn between t...

Thanks, that will be most useful. It would be more useful if it worked the way i asked, I think, but this works for me

I'm surprised too

It might be possible to choose any layer, but this might conflict if you have multiple chars loaded with the same layer names. Maybe just search up the tree for a named layer?

<cross post> I would like to see the layers script references in the anme file just be the script file name, rather than the whole path, as this stops scenes being easily portable from one artist to another. If the script exists somewhere in the Scripts folder in the AS directory, AS should find the...

I would really like to see layer scripts only referenced by their names rather than a path. Then you just have to copy the layer_script into your anime studio scripts directory for them to be looked up by AS and loaded. With absolute references, that doesn't allow users to have AS where they want it.

Let me know if you have any problems etc.

I don't know if anyone has done this, or is actually interested, but I've written an embedded script which allows bones in a switch layer to mimic bones with the same names in the switch's parent. This means you can animate bones in one layer, without having to select the switch layer and then anima...

The ability to have switch layers morph between nested switch layers. For example, I have a front head and side head, which have blended switch layers to determine eye/mouth shape etc. It'd be nice to be able to morph those as the face blends from front to side, without having to have all the shapes...

It should go in your
L:\Art\AnimeStudio\scripts\menu\Mike
Directory Or somewhere in the Menu Directory. It'll then appear in that place in your menus.

Okay, I finally got round to putting it up on its own web page, with a list of its current feature set. If people want it to do more, you'll have to ask, and more requests are more likely to get it done.

Look on the Plugins page here:

Yup, it's a generic plugin, so just add it like any other, then put it in your file menus....Or somewhere...

If you buy me a copy of maya, I'll make you one

Thanks dude

Hey all, sorry if I'm missing something, but I can't get the layer order anim or path adjusting to work. The texture deformation works well, but if I change the layer orders it doesn't animate. Anyone else have this problem?
