Tail Animator Tool - Version 1.0.0

The Tail Animator Tool is a powerful utility designed to help you create tail animations in Maya with ease. By allowing you to control key parameters such as rotation, scale, and timing, this tool generates seamless animations that you can adjust and regenerate to fine-tune your results.

Key Features:

• Effortless Tail Animation: Automatically generates animations based on simple parameters such as horizontal and vertical rotation, scale, and timing.
• Customizable Parameters: Adjust the rotation range, speed, delays, and stiffness to create unique and dynamic tail movements.
• Scale Wave Animation: Apply scale deformation across multiple axes (Y and Z recommended for optimal results).
• Time Control: Set custom start and end times for the animation, making it easy to control the duration and timing.
• Real-Time Preview: Modify parameters and regenerate the animation instantly to experiment with different settings and achieve the perfect result.

Tool Breakdown:

• Horizontal and Vertical Rotation: Control the rotation of the tail along different axes, fine-tune stiffness and delay for each child object in the hierarchy, and adjust the rotation range and speed.
• Scale Wave Animation: Apply scale changes to the tail, with the ability to modify both the scale range and speed. Perfect for creating stretching or squishing effects.
• Child and Initial Delays: Add variation to the animation by adjusting delays for both child objects and the initial start of the animation.
• Intuitive UI: Easily select objects to animate, preview results, and tweak settings in real time. The selected objects dictate the animation hierarchy, giving you full control over the outcome.

Why You Need It: This tool is perfect for animators looking to create tail animations quickly, with the flexibility to experiment and refine their work without the need for complex, manual setups. Whether you're working on creatures, characters, or abstract objects, this tool helps you achieve dynamic and professional animations in Maya with minimal effort.
