Biped Manipulator v2.1.0

Script Type:

Manipulator Helper Object

Description:

Biped Manipulator - 3dsmax MAXScript, allows to select fast any objects/bones and also the whole groups of objects as arms, legs and spine. Since manipulator uses objects names to select objects/bones it is posible to use it with any riggs sytems like Character Studio, CAT, custom riggs etc. Biped Manipulator doesn't occupy much screen place. If there are several bipeds on the scene it is possible to use for convenience several Biped Manipulators.
