- The plugin can be loaded into any atom control, preferably an empty CUA or Empty Atom to be the main control point of the selected bone / item.
it's not advised to load it on a Person Atom as it will snap the whole character from the root and cause physics explosions (probably)

-- Plugin has two modes of parenting:
- Normal (default): The selected target bone becomes the child of the plugin's Atom Control, the target bone snaps to the plugin atom.
- Reverse Parenting: The selected target bone becomes the parent of the plugin's Atom Control, the plugin atom snaps to the target bone.

-- Plugin has two types of parenting:
- Hard Parenting: adds kinematic rigidbody to the target bone for instant position change (to support timeline pose change).
- Soft Parenting: does not add kinematic rigidbody to the target bone, for ''spring like'' lerped smooth position change,
can tune the strength with sync speed.

- Can parent & snap the selected bone from the scene to the plugin container atom for animation in timeline,
what's great about this plugin is that you can have all the control points for CUA bones added to the Person
Timeline instance so you can animate everything in the scene just from the Person Timeline menu,
it will not break after scene re-load. don't worry i have tested it multiple times with no issues
:D


- New pose save & load (saved in the plugin not external files) to have stable pose switches (really only nessesary if using complexe poses)
- ''Hard parenting'' + Normal Parent feature to snap the bones quickly without physics to support Person pose changes in timeline.

- Can snap the plugin's container atom to the selected bone in the scene using Reverse parenting,
for fluid effects or sticking things to animated CUAs bones

- Can save CUA clothing items as a CUA preset, they'll load with the plugin and parent in the last configured place.

- Can Use the regular smoothed parenting and adjust the sync speed from 0-10 to simulate picking things up towards person's hands etc..

- memory feature, plugin remembers each toggle & slider setting for each Atom in the scene. cycling through them wont reset their unique settings.

- Here how to load it into the scene and use it to control rigged CUAs: (v2)
simply load one CUA for the asset, and another empty one for the plugin:



- A demo on how to setup animations in timeline & trigger the poses:



- Here a demo video showing all possible use cases: (v1)

(The CUA Assets we're used for example only, They're not included with the plugin)

- Enjoy! :D And let me know if you find any bugs! Although i've tested it intensively, I could've missed something so it'll be helpful if you can report back any issues found in the discussion forum!
