Script that adds automatic keyframing to workspace. A checkbox is added to the animation preferences. When AutoKey is checked keyframes are generated when you move, scale or rotate an item. It also works with dynapose. Does not work with the info panel since the autokey is widget based.

REVOLUTIONARY!

Just discovered that it does not work with IK handles, but there's a workaround. Just the act of selecting any joint so the object nav widget appears is enough to make a key and if the widget is already active on a joint just clicking will create a key.

Also updated the script so it works with the new interpolation tools.

Something you might want to consider or note, if a user did not install the unofficial upate, then the Bake Keyframes button would not work. Also the Bridge Synchronize button is missing.

Noted and fixed. Thanks.

Have not been using tS7.61 w/Unofficial Update until recently when I installed on my new Win10 PC.
One thing I noticed first is when tS was Maximized, I could see my desktop on the sides of tS.
So I selected the Properties of the tS7.exe and select Win8 in Compatibility Mode.

I installed your update for the tS Animation Preference panel adding Automatic Keyframing.
This is not working for me. So I reinstalled it. Still not working
After looking at your installer I noticed a few problems.
1.) Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp is missing.
2.) The additions to the Select(s) Widgets had duplicate nodes that were added.
3.) As noted at your website this installation will not survive a Reset
Widgets.RsObj not saved.
animpref.RsObj not saved.
Update: Installed/Reinstalled all of the above.
I see one Keyframe added on the first time frame.

I have a guess. The auto key and interpolation scripts were created at almost the same time. It could be that auto key script is dependent on the interpolation script.

I installed your Keyframe Interpolation Toolbar for trueSpace7.61 which adds the missing KeyInterp script.
Your AutoKey script is calling Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/copyDefaultInterp
copyDefaultInterp is missing.

Finally got a chance to look at this. It looks like the installer doesn't properly check for an existing install, so you can get the duplicate nodes that stops it from working.
The KeyInterp script is not needed for this script to work, so that's ok.
I just finished the utility installers and the animation scripts are next so a fix is coming soon.

Thanks but as said you might want to check your AutoKey script.

Code: Select all

	if(Node.ConExists("Preferences/AnimPref","autokey") && Node.Value("Preferences/AnimPref","autokey")) 
	{
		RsAnim.SetKeyFrame(Node.FirstSelected(), RsTime.CurrentTime());
		if(Node.Exists("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp"))
			Activity.Run("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/copyDefaultInterp");

Code: Select all

Activity.Run("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/copyDefaultInterp");

You lost me there. The copyDefaultInterp doesn't run unless the interpolation scripts are installed.

This code was taken from the AutoKey script dated 9/27/2013 downloaded again today from your site.
And with the above installation your Simple Script Command AutoKey(s) (that is installed in all the Select widgets, etc.) calls the AutoKey script.
I understand that if the KeyInterp script is not present it will not call the copyDefaultInterp script.
I was just thinking that was the problem. Maybe not. HTH

Gotcha, not a problem. It makes the key take the custom interpolation if the script is installed otherwise it just sets a key and leaves it.

The latest installer has been uploaded, so you can check it out.
http://clintons3d.com/plugins/truespace ... tokey.html

It's not 100% tested yet. The final test is I download, install it and make a youtube video. I have a few other utility scripts to run through the process first.

What do you think about this Automatic Keying panel for your update?
It has the ability to scrub the time line forward and reverse.

I don't see the advantages of it. Why use this instead of the timeline for scrubbing?
It does make me think that a button on the animation toolbar might be a better place to control autokey than in the preferences panel.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 01 Feb 2018, 04:02

Well I got the idea when I watched your video. The thought was that you can drag the panel closer to where you are working. There is no scrubber on the Animation toolbar. The button on the panel starts your script and opens the AnimPerf panel in the Stack, and gives status when it is running. The panel also has a Help file just like the other Anim tools. It lessons the steps on initial startup, the movement from where your working to the bottom of the screen to where the timeline is. It is up to you it is ready if you want to try it.

You should make a video of it.

I am not setup with a screen capture recorder on Win10, still trying to get my head straight with the new

OS.
I think I still have the old screen capture recorder from BetaSpace, but I am not sure if it is compatible with Win10.
What OS do you use?

Can NOT wait to try your Automatic Keyframing Mode.

I included the RsAnimPlugin.rsx in the Unofficial Update. There is no Prototype installed though.

This year I just started using OBS for screen capture running on win10. It creates mp4 files that I upload to youtube.

That's interesting, I forgot about the RsAnimPlugin.rsx toolbar and procedural clip node.

Is this still valid in Autokey.RsObj

Code: Select all

Activity.Run("Scripts/CustomCommands/KeyInterp/[b]copyDefaultInterp[/b]");

I do not see copyDefaultInterp in the KeyInterp.RsObj

I don't see it either, so it's either not valid or there's a bug caused by a missing command node.
