I think "Softimage" is Esperanto for "Just works out-of-the-box"

XSI’s animation editor is a treasure trove. From: Andres Stephens Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 5:40 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: Stepped curves a´la Maya in Softimage? Heh, I asked this in the forums the other day. I guess I overcomplicated myself. Super easy. =P -Draise From: Pierre Schiller Sent: 17 January 2016 15:14 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Stepped curves a´la Maya in Softimage? 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
