Pose capture tool

I have been working on a tool that will store poses for characters and easily reload them. Initially I had just set out with using this for facial setups, but it has been proving to be useful for other situations, so I will be expanding it a bit more.

It is still not finalized but it is fully functional for its original purpose. It can capture and reload facial poses from different characters. I have tested it with various public rigs including Max_v03 rig, Dee rig,and Jorge Rig in addition to my own.

I recorded a quick demo of the image capturing feature I recently added

I also recorded demo of the basic functionality of this script a while back. It is an older version of the script before the image storing was added, but it still goes about creating characters and adding poses in the same way. The video can be found here http://screencast.com/t/2HvbkdmEgR

Hi Eric,

I'd be interested in trying out your Pose tool for 3DS Max. My email is email@steveryan.net

I just found "Pose Tool" found at
http://www.simoworks.com/index.html

It seems good but a bit more set up time is required.
