Curves To Drivers
Transforms animation curves mapped to the Frame Start / Frame End of the current scene into drivers based on a property of the active pose bone. Workflow:
- Select animated objects
- Shift Select a bone with at least one driver you need to use
- Press Ctrl F1 and pick Curves to Drivers from the menu
- If you have more than one property, you will be presented with a popup to select which one to drive from, and then press OK
- Drivers are mapped to the min and max of the property (it should be a float) from frame start and frame end
- The original Actions are not deleted.
Drivers To Curves
The Inverse of the previous option, it will copy the drivers mapped from the min/max of the property of the active pose bone into animation curves mapped to frame start/ frame end of the current scene. Workflow:
- select driven objects
- Shift Select a bone with the property you are driving with
- Press Ctrl F1 and pick Drivers to Curves from the menu
- If the bone has more than one property, you will be presented with a menu to select the desired one
- Curves will be created/ mapped to frame start/frame end from the min and max of that property
- The original drivers will not be deleted, so you will need to do this if you want to see the animation.
