[UI Track View] A more clean, tidy and fresh UI like the new Maya Graph Editors

[UI Track View] A more clean, tidy and fresh UI like the new Maya Graph Editors

If one thing is getting constant attention and refinement from Maya team that is their Graph Editors (Graph, Time, Trax, Dope Sheet Editors). Besides new functionalities the UI style revamp treatment it got in 2017 is one of the best out there along with their new UV toolkit UI. It has proper spacing, proper padding around icons, good layout, icons are beautiful and clean and have the right size. I know the Track View revamp is on the Public Roadmap for  3ds Max  but I really hope this will reflect at the UI style as well and Track view will receive something similar like the Maya counterpart.

 

Track View Revamp: animators need to view and manipulate the keyframes in an efficient way to be productive. The current Track View dialog is old UI technology, and in order to both improve animator’s efficiency and continue the modernization of the 3ds Max® UI, we are evaluating redoing this tool

Absolutely this needs an overhaul!

Agreed, the more they can borrow from Maya the better! Also the normalized and stacked curve views in Maya are genious (and probably based on similar functionality in Pixars Presto animation tools).

Is the track view in Maya showing Animation Layers? Animation layers as a track view would be an excellent addition to the curve editor.

Glad that this is already on roadmap

There was nothing done to the UI in the last updates 😐

I think it's time for Max to have this too.
