ProTrajectoryHandles v1.1 for Max 2013 2014

ProTrajectoryHandles (PTH) creates in-viewport handles on trajectories.

Highlights:

Directly edit trajectories in the viewport including handles.

Easily translate or rotate (part of) a trajectory.

Alter time distribution without changing the trajectory itself. (see video)

Compatible with complex animated hierarchies such as rigs.

Supports both the default Position_XYZ controllers as well as those placed in Position_Lists

Optionally displays velocity using a color gradient on the trajectory

Optionally use object's wire color as trajectory

Optionally only create handles for selected keys.

PTH is bidirectionally synced with the trackview, changes made in one are reflected in the other.

Additional Info:

Notes:

When a handle's influence in too weak, or too strong, you can simple scale it's influence. Set scale mode to 'strength' and just use the normal scale transform on a handle to adjust

When you start to add/delete extra keys PTH will remove itself, you can then use 'Re(build)' to created new handles when done.

When you save a scene including handles the will not be active when you reopen the scene, you can use the '(re)build' or the 'remove all' buttons to clean this up. In the next update this will be handles in a better way.

Currently the yellow lines between the handles are only drawn in the active viewport.

When you're altering handles in the trackview make sure to enable the 'lock handles' button.

For easy selection and housekeeping all helper objects are created in layer called "ProTrajectory Handles"
