ChronoSculpt™ v1.0
Globals
Setup Mode
This is for modifying the base geometry throughout the animation, rather than just for a certain
time . The object goes to its undeformed default state while you are in
Setup Mode . For example, if
this is a character it would be in the pose that it was modeled in before deformations are applied .
Global Editing Mode
Global Editing Mode is not available within Setup Mode , however if you are in Global Editing Mode
you can also activate Setup Mode to show your geometry in its undeformed base state . Global
Editing Mode is similar to Setup Mode , however you can edit at any point in the timeline and see
how the deformation of your object will be affected by your modification, rather than only seeing
the undeformed object .
Tablet Mode
Changes cursor positioning from relative to absolute for use with graphics tablets .
Palette
The Palette is available only when you create a clip or have a clip selected . The clips on the
timeline are colored in a certain way by default - a morph is orange-yellow, a pin is red and a
geometry cache is light blue, but if you have several it’s good to color them differently to make the
differences clear . The palette provides standard RGB values, but also an alpha to make differing
transparencies .
Ease In/Ease Out
This toggle allows you to set the in and out of a clip . If for instance you’d like a change made to a
scene element to become permanent, set the
Ease Out to 100% by dragging the Control Point to
the right and drag the end time for the clip to the end of the scene .
