Collapse Animation using Max script?

[niels2HFLZ]

Heya!

For my project I need to manually bake all objects that have constraints and controllers!

The Conversion Tools layout under Motion > Motion paths is very usefull for this:

But it's very bothersome to navigate..

Everytime you click on the Motion Paths tab it wants to create the all of the visual lines in the vieport.. and with a lot of objects moving around in a big file just hangs for 5 minutes straight.

Also having to manually type in the range is also not ideal.

I was just wondering, if at all, it was possible to acces these functions via script!

So I can for example just make a BAKE button on a toolbar that collapses the pos, rot and scale of the selected objects and automatically sets the sample range to the current active time time range.

Thanks for your time!

Since all controllers, their calculations and the time/animation-control is scriptable - yes, this is possible. Btw, also possible from C++.
