"A slightly late Christmas present for the Animators out there :-)" This tool allows animators to store frequently used poses in an action, and be able to label those poses to help them retrieve them later. In a way, it acts as a glorified clipboard for poses. One of the cool features with this is the ability to select which stored pose to use interactively in the 3d-view. Once a few poses have been stored in the PoseLib, simply use the "Ctrl L" hotkey to start previewing. Use the Mousewheel or the Page Up/Down keys to change poses, and confirm/cancel the preview in the same way as you do for transforms. Usage Notes: * Each Armature may get its own PoseLib. PoseLibs are simply actions with extra data, so they can get relinked. * Manually editing actions used as PoseLibs is not a good idea, as some data may not be able to be found. Tools to automagically find poses in an action could be investigated... * PoseLib will only apply/retrieve poses to/from selected bones * A basic UI for this can be found in the "Links and Materials" panel. Most of the PoseLib tools are presented there. Useful Hotkeys (also found in Pose->PoseLib menu): * Ctrl L - interactively preview poses * Shift L - add a new pose or replace an existing pose in the PoseLib with the current pose * Ctrl Shift L - rename an existing pose in the PoseLib * Alt L - remove a pose from the poselib.c
