Pose Manager Python Plugin not updated for iClone 8
Dear Team Reallusion,

The Pose Manager was a high utility Python Plugin in iClone 7 but it has not been not updated for iClone 8. It simplified animation in a single UI. Is there a way to achieve a similar functionality within iClone 8. If yes then please show. If not then please incorporate.

Thanks and Regards

The claim is that this functionality is in iClone 8 as part of the edit motion layer tool. It is however, a fairly different feature.

For one, saving and loading poses is a much more cumbersome process, given that you now have to involve the cumbersome and slow content manager.

For another, the Pose Manager let you mask out at a much finer granularity, down to the joint. The built in tool gives you limbs (foot not even separate from leg, hand is separate but drops fingers), the central body, and the head.

This is a huge let down, preventing one of the most useful ways the tool can be used when animating - being able to very simply copy the pose for a single and small subset of joints and then paste them into another frame. With the current granularity, it offers almost 0 value for this.
