I need to allow artists to switch some enumerated attributes based on time on the timeline. Imagine an animation and different attributes indicating various states as the animation progresses, ex frozen, on fire, deal damage, etc.
I know in MAX there's a Note track but I haven't seen something like that so I thought I create one. I started with the locator node but that generates an xform and a shape and the new attributes I created are on the shape rather than the transform which is a bit confusing for the artists/designers. The keyframes also don't seem to be working but they do on locators, so probably a programming error on my part.
So taking a step back maybe the thing to do is to, using MEL, create a well named sphere as a root object, add the relevant attributes and their enumerated values, and call it a day?
Was wondering if anybody had done something like this already.
Thanks
