RE: connection mapping template?

2012-11-30 Thread Jeff McFall
Hi all,
I am losing some hair over this.

I want to share some actions between models with differently named parts and am 
getting absolutely getting nowhere with creating connection templates.

The link below no longer works, any chance this is still available somewhere?

A pointer to a demo or something would be much appreciated as well

many thanks in advance

Jeff

Hi. I'm trying to load a pose from an older version of a character, back
when I was using slightly different naming, such as

ctlFingerLfA2
instead of the current
ctlFingerA2Lf

and so on through the whole hands and lip controls.

Plus a few other assorted changes.


So, when I bring the Action into the mixer from a file, the mapping
template pops up and expect me to remember everything because I can't do
anything until I dismiss the dialog. What is a good workflow here?

I wish there were a Gator for making mapping templates!

I welcome any ideas. Thanks!
Dave
