[AL] AlignLink

[AL] AlignLink – 1 per pass, Custom Object, Preset

This pmodifier allow for objects to have a different parent and align to the parent per pass. The main purpose of this pmodifier is having a simple transform animation per pass.

Let’s say you have 5 F-35 flying shots and need a different animation for each shot. Fortunately all the F-35 does is flying. No fancy motions. You can make 5 point helpers for each shot and animate the helper and just link F-35 to the helpers. Then, this pmodifier will align and link your F-35 to each helper per shot to get the animation.
