World-Space Conversion

Added 2024-07-06 10:25:27 +0000 UTC

A script that lets you convert any selection into world-space, on a specific range in the timeline

Update 2.0 - Added the ability to apply the setup on bones. Also the locators are now unlocked once created, so now you have more flexibility (you can add them into groups, or parent one locator to another and such).

Description - Tool that allows you to apply a temporary locator setup on top of any selection, and it turns it into world-space. The perk of this tool is that you can apply it on a specific range in the timeline, and it preserves the original control's animation data.

Features:

Turn any control into world-space by applying a locator setup
Delete the locator setup with a click of a button and go back to the original state
Apply it on specific ranges in the timeline, so as to not clutter the rest of your frames
Enable Smart Bake to reduce the keyframes that get applied when baking the animation over (The higher the intensity you set, the less keyframes you'll end up with, but less accurate animation, so be mindful)
Bake on different intervals (1s, 2s, 3s, etc.)

How to install: Simply drag and drop the python file into the script editor.

You have the option to apply an overall influence on the timeline, or on a specified range:

How to change variables:

You will get the UI script which holds the "Apply Setup" and "Delete Setup" portion. But you'll also get these 2 as isolated scripts, so that you can put them on a hotkey if you choose so. In them, you can change the variables at the beginning of the script, so you can customize it however you want.
