zooTangentWks 2.7 for Maya (maya script)

zooTangentWks is the most comprehensive animation workflow script out there. It is a marking menu script designed to speed up animation workflow. It allows really fast manipulation of tangents without ever opening the graph editor, allowing you to concentrate on the character's performance.

The marking menu allows you to change the tangent type to any of the standard types. it works by either changing keys on all selected objects at the current time. If there aren't any keys on the current time, the script changes tangents on the previous key to the current time. However, if there are keys selected in either the dope of graph editor, then they're affected instead. working like this is very organic.

as well as changing the tangent type, there is also tangent tightening, and tangent sharpening. Tightening is like a partial flatten. it makes the tangent flatter. Sharpening basically shrinks the size of the tangent, making the curve sharper, more linear-like.

The "default press behaviour" is what happens when you just press the hotkey assigned to zooTangentWks. Ie if your default press behaviour is the default - flatten - when you press the hotkey, it flattens keyframe tangents.

Also, a middle mouse click menu allows you to quickly change the default tangents preference, as well as allowing simple and fast access to scaling and shifting keys in time.

The script also integrates zooGraphFilter.
