Proxy Manipulator - Update



I did a bit of an update to the ProxyManipulator. 

One of the key goals was to set up a nice fast foot pivot system that didn't require any fancy controllers actually installed on the foot object.

One of the weaknesses, is that although possible to manipulate an object in a perfect arc, the created keyframes will be linearly interpollated. 

I have added an option to create several keyframes on the time line at ouce, to create a better arc. If you wanted an object to move in a perfect circle, you just turn this value right up. 

I have also built Max 9, 2008,  2009 versions, and soon I'll compile a version for the next revision of Max. 


I have also uploaded the source code. This controller is fairly simple and the source code could become a template for your own project. 

Also, you coould take the code and re-compile it for whatever version of max you are using. 


Have fun.
