Shelve It<\/a>.<\/p>\nIt’s a simple Python script that will duplicate your current MotionBuilder take, name it using the original take’s name but add the suffix “_Shelved”.<\/p>\n
It can come in hand when you want to explore some more changes on a take you are currently editing. It provides the user the flexibility to store their data without saving the scene and then re-loading the scene if the changes are not for the better.<\/p>\n
It was fun the make.<\/p>\n
I hope this helps.<\/p>\n
