Note! Most of scripts and tools have been developed in MoBu 2014
Scripts that have a single execution scenario
- CarSim \ ReConnectJoystick.py - the script helps to fix an issue with a missing or stucked joystick device after scene reloading in mobu
- DuplicateAlongACurve \ ConvertPolySpline.py - for imported from maya and c4d polysplines. Script helps to convert it into 3d Path Model.

- ShapeHand \ ShapeHand_Rename_DeviceSet_toBVH.py
- ShapeHand \ ShapeHand_RenameBVH_to_DeviceSet.py
- ShapeHand \ ShapeHand_RenameSkeleton.py
- AssignUISet.py - by default, in a texture UVSet name is locked in motionbuilder UI, but you can assign a value by using the script
- ComputeAcceleration.py - compute translation acceleration, helps to see issues on the motion
- CopyBlendShapeAnimation.py - select source model, then destination model, execute the script and it will copy animation FCurves for the same named shapes.
- DuplicateUnderTheRoot.py - helpful for the SpriteSheet Solver sprites preparation, populate models under the root (sprite planes)
- ExtractTrajectoryPath.py - make a 3D Curve model from selected model translation trajectory
- FromLayeredToSingleTexture.py - helpful for scene, imported from maya. A lot of textures with single layer are represented as FBLayeredTexture. To optimize performance and memory usage, you can use the script to replace layered textures with simple one.
- GroupedUnderNull.py - this simular to Maya grouping for selection
- InsertParent.py - insert parent for each selected model and keep the same animation trajectory
- Lights_HardTurnOnOff.py - script to convert lights into template objects and do a back convertation
- Lights_TurnOnOff.py - turn on/off "CastLightOnObject" property
- MainCar_WindowsSetup.py - example how to setup ProjTex shader for each car window element
- MakeCircle.py - 4 knots 3d Path model
- ModelAndLTCDevice.py - small and test script (nothing interesting)
- Physics_MakeJointChain.py - script helps to do a physics setup for joints chain (make nulls, marker capsule for collision and physics joint and connections)
- RefreshModelsTextures.py - reload selected models textures
- RefreshTextures.py - reload all scene video clips
- RefreshTextures2015.py -
- RemoveGPUCacheDuplicates.py - check for GPUCache Shader path and remove dublicates
- SaveLocalPositions.py - for all the timeline frames, save selected models local translation into a text file
- SelCharAndCR_ByModelSelection.py - from selected geometry, try to find to which character it's belong to
- SelectAllCharacterNodes_ByModelSelection.py - similar to SelCharAndCR_ByModelSelection, but this one script selects all connected resources (textures, materials, constraints, etc.)
- StoreRelationInConnections.py - store/retrive connections between relation constraint boxes
- Story_ReplaceMediaInTrackClips.py - XML store/retrieve Story tracks and clips
- StoryTrackFromSelection.py - script to create a generic animation story track from selected models
Special startup scripts with special logic classes
- libDuplicateAlongACurve
