Hello Softimage fellas,

At shed we did some tools for the animators and one of them is shed_poseLib a Pose manager to help speed up the animation process. The tool stores the poses in XML format and allows to exchange it between characters(or any model with rig) and projects.

The repositories are user base so we can exchange the poses from one user to other.

For more information and download the tool : http://www.akaosaru.com/p/tools.html


I would like to thanks Sly, Ph, Renaud and Shed team to allow me to release this tool. I hope it is useful for many animators :P


Cheers,
Miquel

Fantastic! I'm very happy that you used XML and not a binary format. Thank you so much for sharing.

Heh, nice to have some competition. :D

Congrats on the release and thanks for sharing with the community. Very generous.

I'd push you to make it truly open source and give it a BSD-New license instead of the LGPL though. Studios who are looking to integrate it and also possibly build tools and modifications with it will need the BSD-New. Just a suggestion.

Great work!

oh man! I get confuse with all that licensing stuff. :P  I take same as GEAR since I am using one function from Jeremie.  Can I do that? I mean change the licensing.   I just want to give it for free :)


BTW: I think my pose library is very very simple compare with yours :P 


thanks!

Ah didn't know you took some stuff from GEAR. Probably need to leave it as is then.

I think this has a much easier workflow for sure. Something I need to work on with mine.

Hey Miquel,

Don't worry with the code you took from Gear... It's just one method and seriously not the most amazing one ;-)
Gear uses that License because I was hoping people will write more code on top of Gear and share all that.. It never happened anyway...

Hurray for open source! Unless you're selling a product I think that when you release a tool to the public (for free) you might as well make it Open Source.
