Posted On October 19, 2018
Updated:
Pivot Tool now supports MotionBuilder 2018! 🙂 and in the post below under “Versions”.
2018 version can be found here and in the post below under “Versions”.
Versions:
PivotTool v1.0 for MotionBuilder 2018
PivotTool v1.0 for MotionBuilder 2015
Here is a tool that will help you quickly create and position new temporary pivot points, this tool is heavily inspired by the “Temp Piot” tool over at animbot.ca – they are doing some amazing things with animation tools and Maya.
A quick video to demo how the tool works.
As always, I hope this helps.

Cool Idea, but is not working in Mobu 2019. I’m use the same Mia Rig and every time when Set Up Pivot in Left_hand and Create Pivot the Handle go to:
T(Gbl): X: -153.27, Y: 286,42, Z:-2,46
I’m made a test; Create Marker on positions: X:1 Y:1 Z:0, and the Pivot Handle is on position: X:2, Y:2, Z:0. Why?
Ok, I’m sorry. I’m DeBugging and found anwser. You need to DeSelect lHelper = “Null_AutomatedPivotGenerated 1” and then Create Pivot. Without DeSelect the positions number for Handle is double.
Nice Tool, after duplicate Handle, you can made a cool pivots setup to manipulate the Character.
Thank you!
