and keep in mind this is per segment so you can combine linear, stepped and curved, play around with the handles and extrapolation behavior (what happens before and after the curve) at will – in a single curve. XSI’s animation editor is a treasure trove.

YesI never thought It would be this easy! Thanks. I did a tutorial after I found another post on si-community. :D On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 7:25 AM, gareth bell <garethb...@outlook.com> wrote: Like this? http://oi66.tinypic.com/z8poj.jpg From: activemotionpictu...@gmail.com Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2016 00:50:08 -0500 Subject: Stepped curves a´la Maya in Softimage? To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Hello, one feature I haven´t really find out how to simulate in Softimage from Maya´s animation graph is the "stepped curves" feature which works like this: I "key" a pose for the etire character on frame 10 and I go to frame 20 and create another (new) pose for the character. So, Maya automatically creates a "previous" key pose copy (from frame 10) onto frame 19, that way it "holds" the pose and you don´t have to worry to create a clone or a huge copy/paste from the previous "posed" position of the character. Something like this: https://vimeo.com/146448078 Watch first minute or from minute 2 onwards. So, big question here: Is there an "automated" way to do this on softimage? anyone knows about a plugin? Zinkia´s Pocoyo is animated in softimage such way, I believe they did created an addon that does this automatic pre-pose keying when a new key lands on the animation editor, making a stepped curve-approach animation workable in every aspect. :) Please help if you have a workflow recommendation / script for this. Thanks. -- Portfolio 2013 Cinema & TV production Video Reel -- Portfolio 2013 Cinema & TV production Video Reel
