MR Pose Tool allows you to minimize the routine and spend more effort on creativity. This script combines the tools Transform Bone, Manipulate Bones, MR Move Targeted Joint, and even more.






To work correctly the lower bone (the shin or the forearm) must not have any Y-axis translation.
Change Log
Date Version Record
Jan 20 2025, 23:01 3.4 Update 1.2
1. Improved Lock Handles mode, now there's no need to deselect the current bone to select another.
2. Enhanced Align Handles Along Bone mode, now the handles do not overlap each other when the bone on the screen is small in size. This works only when all four handles are active.
3. Added the ability to customize the color and transparency of the handles.
4. Added Highlight Bones option which draws a line along the bone under the cursor, making it easier to identify which bone you will select when you click.
5. Added Double-click to Reset option, allowing you to disable this feature if it interferes.

Update 1.3
1. Added an option that allows blocking the script on even or odd frames. This is convenient if you work in twos, so as not to create keys outside the interval.

Update 2.0
1. Ability to select multiple bones at once.
2. Ability to transform multiple bones at once.
3. Quick access menu to options and functions of the tool.
4. Follow bone, Lock angle, and Lock Pos features, which allow you to find the pose faster by controlling only individual body parts of the character, while maintaining the position of other parts.
5. Added Twos mode option to the panel and in the quick menu.
6. In Lock handles mode, only handles for selected bones are displayed. Previously, this only worked with one bone.
7. The Keep selection option now retains selection only if there has been bone transformation. Meaning, now you can select bones without turning off this option.

Update 2.1
1. All information about Follow bones and Lock bones is now stored in the character layer. This allows you to switch freely between characters without needing to reassign bones each time.
2. Added the ability to enable and disable Follow bones and Lock bones for quick access without the need to constantly reassign bones. This can be done via the quick menu or by double-clicking outside the bones.
3. Pressing Ctrl + Alt in the quick menu brings up additional options. For example, you can add individual bones as Follow bones instead of chains of bones.
4. Bug fixes.

Update 2.1.6
1. Bug fixes.

Update 3.0
1. The Inverse Kinematic Bones.
2. New Bone Stretching option for Follow Bones and IK Bones that can be assigned separately to different bone chains.
3. Reverse IK Direction button for flipping elbows and knees.
4. All settings for the IK Bones, Follow Bones, and Lock Bones are now stored on the character itself, so it works as part of the rig.
5. The IK Bones, Follow Bones, and Lock Bones can be turned on or off at any moment using the quick menu or by double-clicking outside the bones. Each type of bone can be disabled individually.
6. MR Tween Machine 2.4 supports MR Pose Tool 3 and can use IK Bones, Follow Bones, and Lock Bones.
7. The Set Single Follow Bones button allows you to set them without grouping them into chains.
8. The Single Bone Mode provides an ability to turn on and off the Follow Bones chains without constant re-adjustments.
Please note that when this option is turned on some menu buttons will be disabled. Don't forget to turn it off if you need those buttons.
9. The tool panel now has buttons to reset bones to their default values. Also, the panel can be expanded to provide access to the text fields for the position, angle, and scale of the bones.
10. Holding Alt + Shift allows you to move bones without clicking on their handles.
11. Added an algorithm to verify if all of the tool’s files are available. If the script is installed incorrectly it will let you know what files are missing and what needs to be done to fix it.
12. Added the Info button, which allows you to quickly see the list of all shortcuts of the tool.

Update 3.1.6
1. Added support for Relative Keyframing and bug fixes. Please note that when the Relative Keyframing option is enabled, the Smart Bake function becomes unavailable.
2. Added the Skeleton layers navigation option.

Update 3.2
1. Relative Keyframing now supports all types of bone transformations.
2. Added option to use percentage values for bone scaling in Relative Keyframing.
