Description

Hi. I am not scripter just writing some lines for easing walk and run cycles forward.

why to use: 3ds max save load animation sucks at load relative animation for linked object! how to use it: first run the script vcn4.ms from maxscript. then follow the following!:

Let's say you've done a cycle of walking or running. (not in place trademill style! moving forward)
in the script window you can see 6 steps
1- pick controls: pick corresponding controller => click button => click control
2- copy all of cycle keys (all controls) about 2 or 3 frames after end of cycle kkkkkkkk => kkkkkkkk
3- select bridge keys: bridge keys are the last keys of cycle and the first copied cycle key: kkkkkkk kkkkkkk
4- copy value: just press the button (hope not explode your pc! Wink)
5- now select all copied keys
6- press relativity
7-select all copied key and move them to the last frame of fisrt cycle kkkkkkk kkkkkkk => kkkkkkkkkkkkk that's done!
for more repeat the steps from 2 to 7 hope it help and developed by script gods!

OMG!forgpt to attach the script!sorry

Hi Hamed,

here is a script that might fit your needs:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/emds2cm1r873pt9/SimonScripts_LoopAnimatio…

it needs to have a first key at frame zero, for the last key, it is found by the script but needs to be at the same frame location on all selected obj then it will copy all keys and move them to the last key location, obviously your first key and last key needs to match for the animation to loop properly,
it works on position rotation and scaling.
the iteration is the number of time you apply the script, it is an exponential factor, let say you have 50 keys that you want to loop, the first iteration would give you 100 frames, the second iteration 200 frames, the third 400 frames, etc...
for installation it is the same as any macroscript ,drag and drop it go to customize user interface/toolbar the category is "SimonScript".
hope it will help you :)
Best regards,

Simon

edit: i've modified the script , it is now working even if the first key isn't at frame zero, here is the link to the new version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/emds2cm1r873pt9/SimonScripts_LoopAnimatio…

edit2: I didn't understand, i thought you were requesting a script to loop animations :)
