persistent base install v3 required

Installation:

See the Actor Utilities page for download and installation instructions.

Note that in the demo video I forgot about the "Move to Footprint" button. Use it instead of manually repositioning the ik handle to the footprint.

• Time Coded - create a new footprint at the current frame and name includes the frame
• Drop Footprint - place a footprint node at the selected Joint or IK handles position
• Match Reference - only move to footprint that was created with the same ik handle
• Lock XYZ - prevent motion in the X Y or Z directions when matching the location
• Move to Footprint - move the IK handle to the nearest footprint location
• Mirror Axis - choose an axis, XYZ for the mirror operation
• Mirror Footprint - move the footprint to the opposite side of the actor
• Remove Footprints - remove all footprint objects from the scene

Notes:

• Use transparent display mode when creating footprints for joints
• A large joint footprint can be used to judge small angles. Size the joint footprints using Ctrl + RMB scale - requires updated widgets
• Joint footprints look like an XYZ axis mesh.
• Use Time Coded to lay down a series of footprints over time.
