I was looking at this again after having worked with the Final IK extensions, and wondered why Slate didn’t include just a general purpose “Animate Transform” action clip. The downside to using the ultra-generic “Animate Property” to control position and rotation is that it doesn’t provide you with a position/rotation handles. Other clips, however, like “Look At”, or “Animate Biped Limb” nicely control position and rotation with convenient handles. I looked around, but I couldn’t find something like “Animate Biped Limb” that worked on plain old transforms.
So, I made this one, which is basically a mix of the approach from “Animate Biped Limb” and “Look At”. I posted it on the Custom Clips forum:
For how simple this clip is, I was constantly second guessing myself about whether it already existed in Slate. Please let me know if it does, or if you know of a reason why this sort of clip would run into problems.
