Basic equation functions in the channel box and attribute window

[dpumpa1]

One of my favorite features in Cinema 4d was the ability to do basic math in attribute windows.

i.e.

470 + 20

7 * 4

-= 22

You can do some of this stuff in the Graph editor value window.  But the attributes in the channel box and attribute window don't.  It just restores it to its original value like when you type in letters.  It doesn't have to remember the equation like an excel sheet, just replaces it with the new value.

Great to see!  We implemented dash expressions.  You can alt & right click in the channel and then add your expression so for example:

if the value is already 2 and you want to add 3, you simply:

alt & right click

type in =+3

and you'll see it change to 5

You can also write simple expressions as well, so if you want to add a random number between 1 & 10, you can say rand(1,10)

Try it out, it works on multiple objects super quickly too.  Really good for making a lot of changes to many objects super quick.
