mcjDecimateProps

for DS1,2,3,4

Introduction

This script is similar to mcjDecimate

but instead of being geared at decimating body animations

it's designed for facial animations ( morph channels )

Installation

The zip package is found at the bottom of this page

unzip it in your daz content folder, typically C:\Program Files\DAZ\Studio\content\

once installed, it will appear in your content library, under Studio / Scripts / mcasual

Use

  • Set the timeline play-range to the range of frames to be decimated
  • Select a node ( other nodes will be ignored )
  • Launch the script
  • Select one or more properties
  • Set the desired interval between key-frames
  • Press the "OK" button

for each selected property

across the playrange

the script will memorize the values of the selected property ( phase A )

at the interval you specified

the script will delete all keyframes in the play-range

the script will paste back the values memorized in phase A
