IC.Mime

IC.Mime is a set of instruments designed to increase productivity and ease the animation process, with special features for cycles. It provides simple but powerful Keys properties editing, adding what standard 3ds Max lacks, like flattening Keys tangents or opposite tangents matching. The Edit Keys section, driven by plain sentences, allows to freely copy, cut and paste Keys, from one track to itself, to another track, to other nodes tracks. The Wrap Paste engine allows to define a frame span and copy included Keys from a source node to the corresponding tracks of a target node, with additional offset and Key fix capabilities. This tool halves the animation time required for cycles, in example for a walk after defining the frame span of a step, animate one foot, set offset as half step and Wrap Paste the animation to the other foot. All these tools have been developed to give to the artist more time for the creative process and require less effort to achieve desired results.
