Motion Paths


  • Select your bone/object then press the Generate Path button.


  • The path will auto generate a series of proxy elements for the keys and handles, joined by the path. 



    Variables include visibility of the path (it can also be muted on playback) and keys In Front of meshes. Frame Numbers and their size. Path colour toggles include flat colour, speed colours showing velocity and Past and Future. There is also a playhead marker with size and colour options. 




    Keys and Handles a variety of edge based shapes and two solid shapes. Colour options for both in off and selected mode.



    Motion Paths - Sculpt


  • The Sculpt tool is easily activated through the Sculpt button. Brushing the keys is intuitive and natural. Middle mouse button resizes the tool's brush, right click exits the session. Holding shift activates the Smooth brush.




  • Motion Paths - Lattice


    Lattice adjustments

    Using the lattice bounding box, selected keys or the whole section of the path can be completely reshaped and sculpted, representing a stretching of the 3d space across any axis.




    Motion Paths - Polish

    Whole paths or selected sections can be easily polished with the Smoothing Sliders; keys, handles, spacing, easing and bias can all be quickly implemented with immediate responsiveness. 




    Motion Paths - Multiple objects

    Multiple objects can be simultaneously manipulated, both in key manipulation and with the lattice deformer.
