Tool Scripts (Extras)


Modification of 7feet's sf_curvature Tool (v5.2)

This tool has been modified to allow you to change the curvature for an individual curve if the single selected point is shared by more than one curve.
See the original here:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... fcurvature

The files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... vature.lua
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... vature.png
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... cursor.png

Zip of all files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... vature.zip

To Install:
Place the files in the Moho scripts/menu directory

New Usage: To change the curvature of a single point per curve
1. Select the sf_curvature tool.
2. Select a single point
3. Press the UP or DOWN key to select the next or previous curve*

* e.g.
If the first curve is selected and there are three curves you will see "1 / 3" displayed.
If all curves are selected you will see "(ALL CURVES)" dispalyed.

Modification of LM's rotate layer tool (v5.1)

This tool has been modified to allow you to rotate all the points on a layer about a selected pivot point.
If no pivot is selected, or more than one point is selected, the layer rotates about the origin (i.e. usual behavior)

See also 7feet's rotate points about center script and discussion here:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... highlight=

The files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... _pivot.lua
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... _pivot.png
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... cursor.png

Zip of all files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... _pivot.zip

To Install:
Place the files in the Moho scripts/menu directory

New Usage: To rotate the points on a layer about a selected pivot point
1. Add or select a single point on the layer wherever you want the pivot point to be
2. Select the cc_rotate_layer_points_pivot tool
3. Click and move the mouse as usual to rotate all the points on the layer
4. If you created a new point to pivot about, you can delete it.

Reset Layer Visibility tool (v1.0)

This tool is just a quicker method of reseting the visibility for a layer on a certain frame.

See this page:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... highlight=

The files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... bility.lua
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... bility.png

Zip of all files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... bility.zip

To Install:
Place the files in the Moho scripts/menu directory

Usage:
1. Select the layer you want to change in the hierarchy
2. In the main view:

• Click on the window and it will turn visibility ON at the current frame.
• Alt-Click on the window and it will turn visibility ON at frame zero.
• Ctrl-Click on the window and it will turn visibility OFF at the current frame.
• Ctrl-Alt-Click on the window and it will turn visibility OFF at frame zero.

* Visibility keyframes that are no longer needed after the new key will be automatically deleted.
* NOTE: On the Mac, use the Command key instead of Ctrl

Modification of 7feet's MegaMagnet Tool (v1.1)

This tool attracts points around the mouse pointer.

See this page:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... megamagnet

The files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... Magnet.lua
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... Magnet.png
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... cursor.png

Zip of all files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... Magnet.zip

To Install:
Place the files in the Moho scripts/menu directory

Usage:
Similar to regular magnet tool, except:
* "Only Selected" ON will only attract selected points
* "Only Selected" OFF will select points within the radius with the mouse is clicked.
* "By Center" will attract the points uniformly from their center. The "By Center" feature is so you can attract shapes as a whole without distortion.
* "Strength" is the amount the magnet attracts. This has been simplified from 7feet's version (You don't need to deal with Strength and Influence seperately)
* Negative values for "Strength" repel points.

Modification of LM's scale points tool (v5.1)

This tool has been modified to allow you to scale outward from a particular bounding edge of the selected range of points.

See also this discussion:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2098

The files:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/extras ... points.lua


To Install:
Place the files in the Moho scripts/menu directory

New Usage:
Hold <ctrl> (or <command>) as you select a handle to scale from and move the mouse to scale. The handle will stay fixed and the selected points will scale outward (or inward) from that handle.

Notes / Instructions / Examples


* WARNING: Interpolation settings for changed keyframes may be lost
Because there is no lua access to get a keyframe's interpolation values, interpolation settings for changed keyframes will be lost (i.e. forced to linear) when you use any of the scripts that process animations. If a GetKeyIterp() function appears in the lua API, we should be able to fix this.

See this discussion:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtop ... 4b2354d889


Instructions for Specific Tasks


You can use the save and load animation scripts to copy keyframes from one layer to another.

Example (You want to copy the LEFT animations to the RIGHT)

The LEFT and RIGHT hierarchies must be identical for this to work

1. Select your LEFT group
2. Start the save animation script
3. Select "apply starting with current layer"
4. Save to file
5. Select your RIGHT group
6. Start the load animation script
7. Select "Apply starting with current layer"
8. Select the channels that you want to load
9. Load the file

The LEFT and RIGHT groups should now have the same animation.
Adjust RIGHT to taste.

You can use the save and load animation scripts to delete large groups of keyframes.

Example (You want to delete all the keyframes after frame 50)

1. Start the save animation script
2. Select First Frame 0
3. Select Last Frame 50
4. Select "Apply to all layers"
5. Save to a file
6. Start the save camera script
7. Select First Frame 0
8. Select Last Frame 50
9. Save to a (different) file
10. Start the load animation script
11. Select "Apply to all layers"
12. Uncheck "Overlay Animation"
13. Load the file from Step 5
14. Start the load camera script
15. Uncheck "Overlay Animation"
16. Load the file from Step 9

Your layer and camera animations should now only include keyframes up to frame 50.

You can use the save, load and shift animation scripts to to merge two animations together.

Example (You have created two animations for the same character, ANIMATION-A, 50 frames long, and ANIMATION-B, 100 frames long, and you want to merge them into the same file)

Everything except the animation data must be identical between the two files for this to work.

1. Open the ANIMATION-B moho file
2. Start the shift layer keyframes script
3. Select "Apply to all layers"
4. Set "Number of frames to shift" to 50 (the time you want to start the animation in the final file)
5. Click OK
6. Start the save layer animation script
7. Select "Apply to all layers"
8. Set "Source first frame" to 50
9. Set "Source last frame" to 150 (now the end of the animation)
10. Click OK (Save the file)
11. Open the ANIMATION-A moho file
12. Start the load layer animation script
13. Make sure "Overlay animation" is checked
14. Select "Apply to all layers"
15. Click OK
16. Select the file from step 10

Your animations should now be merged.

You can use the copy and paste generic layer scripts to copy keyframes between different types of layers.

See also this thread:
http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2288

Example (You want to copy the GROUP animations to the VECTOR)

1. Select your GROUP layer
2. Start the copy generic layer script
3. Select the keyframe range you wish to copy
4. Select your VECTOR layer
5. Start the paste generic layer script
6. Select whether or not you wish to overload existing keyframes
7. Select the channels that you want to paste
8. Paste the data

Adjust VECTOR to taste.

You can use the "Copy Selected Curve" and "Paste Curve To Camera Track" to move the camera along a curve.

Example (You want to copy the curve in the TRACK CURVE to the camera track)
For this example use the example file here:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/exampl ... ample.moho

1. Select "Track Curve"
2. Select the curve
3. Start the "Copy Selected Curve Script"
4. Start the "Paste Curve To Camera Track"
5. Enter values for number of keys, start, end and offset (or use defaults)

The camera will now translate to match the cuve.
You can now delete the curve layer if you want need it anymore.

You can use the "Copy Selected Curve" and "Paste Curve To Camera Target" to have the camera animation (pan/tilt) face the curve.

Example (You want to the camera to face the points in the TARGET CURVE)
For this example use the example file here:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/exampl ... ample.moho

1. Select "Target Curve"
2. Select the curve
3. Start the "Copy Selected Curve Script"
4. Start the "Paste Curve To Camera Target"
5. Enter values for number of keys, start, end and offset (or use defaults)

The camera will now face the points along the curve in the pan/tilt animation track.
You can now delete the curve layer if you want need it anymore.


You can use the "Copy Selected Curve" and "Paste Curve To Layer Translation" to rotate a layer along a curve.

Example
For this example use the example file here:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/exampl ... ample.moho

1. Select "CURVE" layer
2. Select the curve
3. Start the "Copy Selected Curve Script"
4. Select "VECTOR" layer
5. Start the "Paste Curve To Vector Translation"
6. Enter values for number of keys, start and end (or use defaults)
7. Select "Rotate To Face Curve"
8. Enter the rotation offset* you want
* 0.0 if the vector layer is facing to the right
* 180.0 if the vector layer is facing to the left

The origin of the "VECTOR" layer will now translate to match the curve.
The "VECTOR" layer will now also rotate along the curve.
You can now delete the curve layer if you want need it anymore.

You can use the "Copy Selected Curve" and "Paste Curve To Points Position" to move a shape along a curve.

Example
For this example use the example file here:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/exampl ... ample.moho

You can also see the result:
http://crashcore.com/public/moho/exampl ... xample.swf

1. Select the curve
2. Start the "Copy Selected Curve Script"
3. Select the points of the cube shape
4. Start the "Paste Curve To Points Position"
5. Enter values for number of keys, start, end and offsets (or use defaults)

* Position offset: offsets the whole shape a certain distance from the curve
* Pivot offset: Used in "Rotate to Face Curve" to offset the pivot point of rotation from the center of the points
* For this script, to make things easy on yourself, the curve and shape should be in the same layer.

The shape will now translate to match the cuve.
You can now delete the curve if you want need it anymore.

[rylleman]

Wow! Thank you!
There's a few scripts there that can come in handy for me.

[teotoon]

This is great! Thank you for sharing. It is also nice to see another scripter in this forum...

[Rai López]

RE-WOW!!! Where have you been all this time, guy?? ...You must know that new scripters are always specially WELCOMED, and you also come here with all this material... Uf... VERY NICE & THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

PS: THANKS, in special, for the waited Reverse Keyframes Script, I trust LM (PLEEEASE ) will add the posibility of get keyframe's interpolation values in a near future

[mr. blaaa]

Coooool man! Yeah thank you for your delicious release!
Really handy scripts! Thank you so much! Whooooooooooooot!!!

[ulrik]

Thanks a lot macton!!! this seems to be a lot of nice and usefull scripts. wooooaaaahh

[macton]

No problem guys. I hope you get some use out of them.

Our artists here needed these scripts written and we didn't see any reason why we couldn't share them - I've certainly benefitted from looking at the scripts released by others.

[ulrik]

I have some problems to view the whole meny of 3 of the scripts, it's the "shift keyframes", "cycle last layer keyframe" and "reverse layer keyframes" the meny is so long it doesn't fit my monitor it looks like this
http://www.musikboden.se/shiftkeyframes.png

do you have a clue what I should do to make the whole meny visible? is it my monitor preferences or...?

ulrik

[macton]

do you have a clue what I should do to make the whole meny visible? is it my monitor preferences or...?

I thought that might be a problem for some people. I haven't looked at the GUI stuff much at all, but there must be a way I can organize that stuff a little better.
I'll look into it.

UPDATE: This is no longer a problem in the latest versions posted above.

[jorgy]

This is great! I feel like a kid in a candy store! Thanks so much!

[7feet]

My thanks, too. Cool stuff, and quite a nice collection all at once. Dang. Another person busting out some scripts is a Good Thing.

[macton]

Some of the scripts were updated.
A new script was added.

See notes at the top of the thread.

[Rai López]

...PLEASE! Someone tell me if I am not DREAMING!!!

PS: THANK YOUUUUUU!!!
