Vectorify - Maya Plugin
Vectorify is a free Maya plugin by Ehsan Bayat for repathing animation. It works with biped and quadruped cycles but is not limited to them: select an animated control and Vectorify builds a path with temporary controls you can turn into a circle, straighten, flip, snap to the ground or to another path. When the path looks right, bake the result and add your finishing touches.

Three repathing jobs Vectorify takes off your plate
Re-keying a cycle to send it somewhere new
Turning a walk onto a new route usually means reworking keys on every control. Vectorify repaths the animation with temporary controls, so a biped or quadruped turns in a circle, or any shape, naturally.
Contacts that float on uneven ground
Move a shot onto a slope or bumpy terrain and the contacts float or sink. Vectorify snaps the animation to the ground, even on slopes, bumps and uneven surfaces.
A path that curves or points the wrong way
Straighten a curved path, flip the animation direction, snap your path to another path or move the pivot point on the curve, each in a few clicks.
Inside Vectorify
Vectorify works from animation that already exists: the selected control needs keys before a path can be created. Shape the path with the tools below, decide whether the Master Control travels with the character, then bake the result when you are happy and polish by hand. For surface updates, use a ground plane larger than the path.
Circular animation
Turn a biped or quadruped in a circle, or any shape.
Straighten a curved path
Pull a curving path into a straight line.
Flip the direction
Reverse which way the animation travels, instantly.
Snap to another path
Lay your path onto a second path instantly.
Pivot on the curve
Change the pivot point along the path.
Update the animation surface
Snap animation to the ground, including slopes, bumps and uneven surfaces.
Master Control follow and unfollow
Make the Master Control follow the character, or keep the character moving on the spot.
Bake the result
Bake instantly when you are satisfied, then add your finishing artistic touches.
