Baker _ Maya animation script

A fast bake script that executes in only one click : fast bake of the selection , remove constraints, remove them from animation layers if they belong to one.

If you use temporary controller to quickly tweak animations (check out my Locator scripts), this script is great to bake back your animation to the original controllers in one click. After retiming, tweaking keys, you have a messy timeline: try baking it on 1s, 2s or 4s with only two clicks.

It can be really easy to get lost in big scene with tons of constraints, the Scene Constraints Baker will help you clearly see in a simple UI all the constraints in your scene.

Work on all the scene constraints that are not referenced so make sure your rigs are referenced before using script, otherwise the Bake All will bake all your rig constraints as well.

FEATURES:

• All the functions work only on the current time slider range.
• Bake on 1's / Bake on 2's / Bake on 4's:
  • Work with multiple selection
  • Automatically remove any constraint(s) and animLayer(s) attached to the selection.
  • If animLayer(s) contains multiple objects, it will only remove the selected object from the layer and not delete the animation layer.
• Scene Constraints Baker :
  • Scroll bar on the list
  • List all non referenced constraints in alphabetic order.
  • Select the constraint in the UI will select the constraint in the scene.
  • Can select multiple constraints.
  • Have the option to bake selected constraint(s) or bake all the constraints in the UI.
• Merge all AnimLayer:
  • Only on time slider range so it can be faster than the maya merge layer function.
• Work on maya 2016,2018,2020 both Linux and Windows (Did not try other version but it should work)
  

INSTALLATION:

To install, drag and drop the install.mel file onto the maya viewport
