Introduction
Welcome to the PGI Tools Suite documentation.
This suite is a collection of premium animation tools designed to enhance the workflow of professional Maya animators.
Included Tools
1. TimeSlider Set Toolbar
A production-grade solution for managing “Sets” on your TimeSlider. It allows you to create custom selections of controls and instantly “mask” the TimeSlider to show only their keys, regardless of what you currently have selected.
2. Smart Keyframe Navigator
An intelligent hotkey-based navigation system that detects your context (TimeSlider vs Graph Editor) and navigates keyframes accordingly. It includes a “sticky” memory for seamless switching between panels.
Why this tool?
Maya’s default TimeSlider shows every key on every selected object. In complex rigs, this is overwhelming. PGI Tools gives you:
- Focus: See only the keys you care about (e.g., “Lip Sync only”).
- Speed: Navigate keys intuitively without clicking panels constantly.
- Safety: Non-destructive “Add/Remove” workflow for sets.
- If you select an AnimLayer, it targets curves in that layer.
- If you highlight attributes in the ChannelBox, it targets only those channels.
- If you just select an object, it grabs everything.
This ensures you always get exactly the data you intend to visualize.
