- # maya-animation

+ # maya-animation (Authoring stage)

- Maya animation skill. Provides actions for managing keyframes, timeline settings, animation curves, baking simulations and constraints, and importing/exporting animation data.

+ Keyframes, timeline, curves, constraint / simulation baking, and

+ animation curve I/O. Fourteen scripts in three logical clusters:

+ 1. **Frame / time queries** — `get_current_time`, `set_current_time`,

+ `set_timeline`, `get_frame_range`, `query_scene_time_info`.

+ 2. **Key editing** — `set_keyframe`, `get_keyframes`, `delete_keyframes`,

+ `list_animation_curves`, `set_animation_curve_tangent`.

+ 3. **Bake + persistence** — `bake_simulation`, `bake_constraints`,

+ `export_animation_curves`, `import_animation_curves`.

## Scripts

- `set_keyframe` — Set a keyframe on an object at the given time

- `get_keyframes` — Get all keyframe times for an object / attribute

- `set_timeline` — Set the playback and animation timeline range

- `get_current_time` — Get the current frame number

- `set_current_time` — Set the current frame number

- `delete_keyframes` — Delete keyframes from an object within an optional frame range

- `bake_simulation` — Bake simulation / constraints to keyframes on objects

- `list_animation_curves` — List all animCurve nodes driving an object

- `set_animation_curve_tangent` — Set the tangent type on one or all keyframes of an animation curve

- `bake_constraints` — Bake constraint-driven animation to explicit keyframes

- `export_animation_curves` — Export animation curves for an object to a Maya .anim file

- `import_animation_curves` — Import animation curves from a file and optionally apply them to an object

- `query_scene_time_info` — Query the current scene time and playback settings

+ - `get_frame_range` — Return the scene's animation frame range
