FootSyncMarkers

The implememtation is based on this implementation, with more features.

This animation modifier creates sync markers in animation sequences. It is most useful to generate sync markers when the foot bones cross the line between the pelvis and the floor.

This modifier can be configured to find tokens in the animation sequence name (like Forward / Bwd / 45 / 135), which will change how it detects when the bones to look at need a synchronization marker. This allows to create sync markers for all your locomotion animations if they all follow the same naming convention.

Basically, you want to set a reference direction to

• (X:0;Y:1) for forward locomotion
• (X:0;Y:-1) for backward locomotion
• (X:-1;Y:0) for right locomotion
• (X:1;Y:0) for left locomotion

If you have locomotion for diagonal movement, you need new entries which affect both X and Y.
