Stands out in the scriptspot library because it pairs quick access to native Biped tools with functions the Biped panel itself doesn't offer, in one companion interface.
Biped Helper + Picker is a support interface for 3ds Max that runs in conjunction with the main Biped panel. It provides quick access to existing Biped panel tools while adding functionality the Biped panel doesn't support, all through a single companion interface. An online guide is available through the developer's links.
The toolset covers limited parts selection with IK limb pivot settings, keying operations, TCB settings, and time range settings for range-based operations. Reference options include ghosting, pose buffering, geometry snapshots, and placed trajectory helpers. You can load and save animation clips, manage layers, retarget IK constraints, copy and paste poses or postures, mirror limbs, and align fingers and spine. Limb space settings support Body and Object modes.
Version 3.5 added Apply Transform and Foot Cleanup functionality to a dedicated Picker UI first introduced in 3.4. The Picker mirrors most of the main interface and is designed to work with a standard human Biped configuration. It's compatible with 3ds Max 2020 through 2025.
Biped Helper + Picker is best for 3ds Max animators working with Biped rigs who want extended controls beyond the standard Biped panel.
Biped Helper + Picker is completely free to download and use.
Biped Helper + Picker is compatible with 3ds Max versions 2020 through 2025. If you're running a release inside that range, the interface and its Picker UI should function as described. For versions outside that window, or to confirm support for a newer release, check the developer's page. The current build listed here is version 3.5, last updated in June 2024, and it operates alongside the main Biped panel in 3ds Max.
Biped Helper + Picker offers several ways to open its Picker UI: through a picker button on the main Biped Helper interface, by clicking the Biped Helper toolbar icon while holding Shift, by assigning a hotkey to a macro, or by placing a dedicated toolbar icon. The Picker is designed to work with a standard human Biped configuration and uses most of the same functionality as the main UI.
Biped Helper + Picker is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the most current details on usage and distribution, refer to the developer's page. The tool is distributed as an .mzp package for installation in 3ds Max and runs alongside the main Biped panel. The current version available is 3.5, last updated in June 2024, which added Apply Transform and Foot Cleanup to the Picker UI.
Biped Helper + Picker includes a transform copy feature that captures the transform of an object such as a hand or foot, then pastes or bakes it to the current frame or a selected time range, with different axes available for position and rotation when pasting or baking. This can also be applied generically to non-Biped objects. The feature is found in the Keys rollout.
