I have a model that I am posing, and various different layers making up each pose.
I have to create multiple different poses, from multiple angles.
The angles are sorted now we have multiple cameras, but…
Is there a way to record the amounts of influence each layer has on each pose (maybe 10 layers) into a single button (like storing a frozen moment ) that I can return to later and edit, move on the the next totally different pose, edit etc, without having to type in all the numbers all the time. Is there a plugin or a script out there that does this ?
You can use the TimeLine for that. Basically you would do this:
- Set up the Camera track so that you have keyframes for all your views for the number of poses.
- Note that you can use the left/right arrow keys on the keyboard to move forward or backward between the keyframes. Clicking on the background will select the Camera track so you can do this.
- Move to the start of the Timeline and select the first Layer. Selecting the Layer will also select a unique “Layer” track associated with that Layer. Adjust the Layer how you want and add a keyframe to the TimeLine.
- Click the background and press the right arrow on the keyboard to move to the next Camera keyframe. Select the first Layer again, adjust and add a keyframe.
- Repeat (3) for the other poses.
- Repeat (2), (3) & (4) for the other Layers.
If you wanted you could set up a complete pose before moving to the next but I do think it’s easier to set up the whole Camera track first as this is essential for being able to move between the poses.
