Motion Trail

Hi.
I made a MotionTrail Tool.
You can see and edit trails of animated objects.
If you'd like, try it.

how to use
1. install addon.
2. register a shortcut key or a script button.
3. activate the tool, and select an animated object.

motiontrail.zip

Thank you for the information.

Do you use other "StartAnimation" or "StopAnimation" plugins?

I use these names as Event Plugins in this plugin.
So, if you already use these names, my plugin will be error.

I changed my event names into other unique names.
If you use these names, please try version 1.1. You can install.
But if you don't, I have no idea...

Could you tell me Script Editor's Error Log?
I think you can see logs, when you try to install addon.

anyway thanks.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Maybe you know this.
But I explain for others.
This plugin doesn't have handle like manipulator.
You can pick points immediately.

Thank you.

oh, but somone posted it instead of me. thanks!

@taro - Did you already try logging in at the si-community? An account named "taro" has already been registered and activated there. You probably didn't get any activation notification, but, sadly, that's sort a known bug in "our" forum software...

PS - If you still experience difficulties logging in, please send me a Private Message here, so we can try to sort this out!

Don't worry about it, these things happen. I'm just glad it "works" now.

Did you create a shortcut key as described in the readme file?
register a shortcut key or a script button.
( command name is "MotionTrail", it is in "Custom Script Commands" group. )

Did you install the correct addon for your architecture:
MotionTrail32_v1.2.xsiaddon for a 32 bits Softimage/Windows
or
MotionTrail64_v1.2.xsiaddon for a 64 bits Softimage/Windows?

Someone gave me an email, and he could install this addon after he installed Microsoft C ++ 2010. (maybe, visual C++ )
I'm not sure if this tool needs it. but if you can't install it yet, you can try.

and this addon used ToolContext, so you can install it softimage 2012 or lator .

I rebooted three times and I can't see MotionTrail anywhere in the U.I, never mind seeing it in the Keyboard configurator panel. I installed the x64 bit version, and, well, no go.
