Keyframe Manip

Keyframe Manip

• Operators to manipulate keyframes, such as offsetting bone keyframes to create a wave effect on a tail.
• NOTE: Parameters may not appear when calling from the Action Editor area. If this is the case, try calling the operator from 3D View instead.

Bone Chains Panel

• When an Armature is active, found in Properties > Bone Chains
• Top UI list is for chains. Bottom UI list is for bones in those chains.
• Used in Keyframe Manip - Wave for offsetting keyframes by their locations in the bone chain.
  • If selected keyframes for bones are not in any bone chains, the operator will guess chains by parent-child relationships.

Keyframe Manip - Wave

dmr.keyframe_manip_wave(channel_shift, position_shift)

• Offsets keyframes by order of bone chain.
  • Channel Shift: Number of frames to shift by chain index (int)
  • Position Shift: Number of frames to shift by down the chain (int)

1. Simple animation with identical start and end keyframes and a Cyclic modifier applied.
2. Animation after wave operator is called.

Keyframe Manip - Random

dmr.keyframe_manip_random_frame(seed, strength, split_channel_index, ignore_end_keyframes, snap_positions)

• Offsets selected keyframe positions randomly.
  • Seed: Seed to use for shuffling keyframe positions (int)
  • Strength: Amount to move keyframes (float)
  • Split Channel Index: Calculate different values per channel index (bool)
  • Ignore End Keyframes: Skips starting and ending keyframes of channels (bool)
  • Snap Positions: Round new positions to nearest whole number (bool)
