<p ="text">PoseIt is a tool designed to make character animation
in Maya easier. It offers tools for easily saving and applying poses,
exporting and importing animation, animating BlendShapes and using
sliders to control attributes. A number of PoseIt's features have never
before been available to Maya users, while other parts of PoseIt offers
significant improvements to tools animators use all the time, all
contained in an efficient interface designed by animators for animators.</p>

<td ="text1" valign="top"> <ul><li>Create poses and save animations by clicking a single button. No need
to create characterSets or define what nodes to include.
</li><li>All poses and animations have preview images.
</li><li>Multiple options for what nodes to include in a pose and animation.
</li><li>Mutliple options for how pose values should be applied: Replace,&nbsp;Add,
Subtract and Exclude Zero (skip attributes whose value is 0).
</li><li>Apply poses and animations even when some nodes are missing.
</li><li>Apply poses gradually and mix poses using PoseSliders. <br>
</li><li>Apply animations with time offset. Include the whole range of keys
or only a part of the animation. Apply to all nodes or only to some
nodes. Save/Apply attributes with no keyframes on in addition to animated
ones. </li><li>Extremely fast and reliable export/import of animation. PoseIt can
apply animation to 10 000 attributes in less than 10 seconds.
</li><li>Batch export and import animation.
</li><li>Rearrange poses and animations in the Pose&nbsp;Window using drag
and drop. <br>
</li><li>Easily create preview images of every BlendShape.
</li><li>Sliders automatically adjust their length so that they always fit
inside the window.
</li><li>Sliders can be displayed in two columns, saving the user a lot of
scrolling to get to the sliders he or she wants to work with.
</li><li>Slider groups can be hidden; again saving the user from a lot of scrolling.
</li><li>A number of commands are available that can be used on specific slider
groups or on all existing groups, such as Key, Unkey, Delete&nbsp;Animation,
Select Group, Reset Attributes.
</li><li>Create custom tabs and groups containing attribute sliders. (Similar
to Alias' popular AttributeCollection script, but with more features
and a more streamlined interface.) <br>
</li><li>PoseIt is distributed as a Mel script, so advanced users can add their
own tools to it.
</li><li>Supported on Windows only. Versions for other platforms coming soon.

this is just amazing tool to be used, and this will be of great help,
for the studios, if they can do inhouse tools like these, so go ahead,
and inform these in your studios or use these and benefit from the
masters.<br>

<p ="articleTextonormal" align="justify">PoseStudio
is a mel script intended to raise the efficiency of character animation
in Maya. You can save and load your custom poses and even have them
mixed together in order to make an impressive character.Besides,it has
a really cool UI,which enables you to customize the poses's icon of
your character in no time.

<p ="articleTextonormal" align="justify">
<b>FAQ OF PoseStudio</b>
<br><br>1.What is PoseStudio?What can it do?
PoseStudio is a mel script I wrote intended to raise the efficiency of
character animation in Maya. It saves time for animators by building up
pose libraries for characters. The character TD and animator creats as
many poses as needed for a character before handing it to the animator;
when he wants a pose, he just takes it from the pose library,or
alternatively, he can take a similar pose, and edits it until it
becomes what he wants.
(the following feature will not be included in public version) to
enhance pose library value, PoseStudio can use a prefix to let a
character use a pose library which don't belong to it. of course they
should use the same rig and not difference so much in size and
structure.</p>

<center> <img src="http://www.deathfall.com/images/misc/PoseStudio1V-003.jpg" border="0"> </center>

<p ="articleTextonormal" align="justify"> For character that have
much difference between them, PoseStudio still can make them share pose
library. Use connection map, offset map, scale map, mute map to define
the relation between character's attributes. For more advanced usage of
PoseStudio, A character studio can create a default Pose library for
future use.
<br><br>2.There are many similar mel scripts,and what is PoseStudio
special for?
Yes . The work of PoseStudio can be done by many other mel scripts,even
maya's non-linear system can do it,but PoseStudio is intended to
improve the interface and raise the efficiency.With PoseStudio you can
save your character's current pose any time you want,and make it an
icon to tell it apart with pushing only one button. By simply clicking
a button you can recall the former pose.So saving and loading poses are
extremely simple and convenient in PoseStudio.<br>

<b>Define Default Pose</b><br>
When you create a PoseTool character or object set, the plugin will
automatically create default pose for them. With this option you can
change it.<br>
<br>
<b>New Object Se</b>t<br>
To create object set you have to select objects that appear in main
character or other object set ( parent ) and then click on <b>New Object Set</b><br>
<br>
<b>New Pose<br>
</b>Create pose for the object set.<br>
<br>
<b>Rename Object Set<br>
</b><br>
<b>Delete Object Set<br>
</b><br>
<b>Import<br>
</b>The
object set import is based on the same principal as the character
import with a little difference. It's very important on which object
set on you're clicking. If you want to import object set " Hand " there
is no sense to do that in object set "Leg" or "Spine" for example. You
must do that in object set "Arm" or in the main character<i>.<br>
<br>
Note: </i>When
you import object set, PoseTool will ask you "Do you want to apply
character to other objects ? ? This option gives you the opportunity to
import the Object Set and his sub-sets and poses to other objects or to
renamed ones.<br>
<p><i><br>
Note: </i>When
imports, PoseTool works only with selection. That's why if you want to
import object set for the left hand, you'll have to select the objects
that form the hand first.<br>
<br>
<b>Export<br>
</b>It saves the object set and all his child object sets and poses to *.ptc file.<br>
<br>
<b>Add Object<br>
</b>To add object into object set, you have to select the object first.<br>
<br>
<b>Remove Object<br>
</b>To remove object from object set, you have to select it first.<br>
<br>
<b>Select Object<br>
<br>
</b>Selects the objects from the object set. The objects can also be selected with double click over the Object Set in pose list.</p>
