Hi Solagratia,

That’s not easy to say; I guess proxy parameters, the parameters you create when you drag and drop one to a different custom property, are slower then normals, but I’m not really sure. What I can say is that I’m using almost only proxy parameters, and the rig are ok.

P.S. Thank you Patrick

Thanks Patrick, script works great.
And thanks again to Daniele for such a wonderful script

And…. I am sorry but I have one more question>>

What would be the best way to move already existing parameters?

Let’s say I have 20 shape sliders (Custom Parameters) setup on my character
and now I want to move those to GenericProperty.
Should I just drag and drop in the explorer?
(and when I do that, cursor icon indicates that I am making shortcuts)

Then I have same parameters under both CustomProperty and GenericProperty.
By doing this am I making the rig slower?
or should I just not worry about such thing and do it anyway?

Thank you.

Daniele, the < character in your comment was being interpreted as the beginning of an html tag. Fixed it.

Interesting idea, I had to use similar way of making dynamic UI in maxscript using strings and executing them, not for same reasons but the process was very much the same.

still not working… the post will be cutted at the “less then” character… strange. I’ll put on internet a zip file with this simple script as soon as I can, or you can mail me to daniele@daniele.niero.name

sorry about that
