Title: 2 Suggestions for the Sequence Editor (Bone Animation)
Post by: Tanzim on August 10, 2008, 12:16:11 am

OK, I'll keep this short:
1. Currently we have to use different mouse buttons to move a bone (as well as change views to get the bone into an accurate position), I think it would be easier to have a 'partial sphere' around the bone that only covers the area the bone is limited to, and the bone could be moved around this sphere with only 1 mouse button.
This would make it a lot easier to animated as we wouldn't have to keep changing views (and mouse buttons).

2. With IK, moving 1 bone will move every other bone parented to it, I think it would be better if only bones selected would move (or we could have a choice as whether we want all bones or some bones to move).

OK, it wasn't short

Huh, that's a good idea.

Yeah, that would be really helpful!

I wish character animation was easier in scene mode.

By the way, I have Vista and it works fine.  ;D
