MS3D Keyframe Manager
Version 1.00 of 10/15/2011

MS3D Keyframe Manager is a program for managing keyframes on base of Milkshape 3D ASCII files (e.g. model.txt).
Keyframes can be cut out, copied, moved, renamed and inserted at other positions again.
You can add comments to keyframes (e.g. animation names).

Two files can be edited at the same time.
The exchange of the keyframes is carried out via a program internal clipboard in the middle of the user interface.



Milkshape models based on the same skeleton can be equipped with different animations.
Only the keyframes of compatible bones are exchanged.

Since Milkshape does not support any animation names, these are stored as comments in csv files (e.g. model.csv).
It is important to know that txt and csv files belong together.
You should regularly make safety copies of these two files, so that you can return to an older processing status any time.

I have uploaded some videos on YouTube to demonstrate how you can use the MS3D Keyframe Manager.
Please watch the videos in fullscreen mode for better results.

Disclaimer
I wrote this program for my own use and have tested it to the best of my knowledge.
It's free to everyone but the application is at own risk.
As it is a free program I will not accept any liabilities for possible damages or consequential losses resulting from the application of this program.

Download MS3D Keyframe Manager from here:
Ms3dKeyframeMgr.zip
Ms3dKeyframeMgr_Demo_Models.zip

For quick results I have enclosed my 3 self-made models from the demo on YouTube.
The base model contains 50 animations (1600 frames, 320 keyframes).

I would also be interested in knowing whether the program works with your models.

I hope, you find it useful. laugh
