I am still going to show the code below here because there is still some interesting things learned when writing it. The Translation’s 3 axis are still not referenced to or processed as separate curves – so no plotting on just the X axis. If I was to go into Key Controls and choose “Selected Properties” from the drop down and then reproduce the above mentioned steps we would get Translation and Rotation curves to separate from each other when plotting. I would expect that only the X axis of the translation gets plotted (or even just Translation), but we get all of Translation and Rotation plotted while Scale remains untouched.


I started to write this post with a clear idea in my mind – Animate the Translation, Rotation and Scale of an object using Python and then have the Translation curves be plotted with Plot Selected Properties. I found a work around for the bug and it is covered in my “lock-and-plot-selected-properties-using-motionbuilders-python” post.
PLOT FACESHIFT TO STORY MOTIONBUILDER HOW TO
I ran the script I created in “Animating and setting keys with MotionBuilder’s Python Editor” and decided that I would use the scene it creates to learn how to plot on selected properties in MotionBuilder’s Python Editor.
