Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention include computer-implemented methods and apparatuses for monitoring user activity and managing controllers in a 3-D environment that are provided herein. Exemplary methods may include: receiving user input in the form of user activity associated with a rigging of a character in a 3-D environment; monitoring the user activity, the user activity being indicated by a change in animation curve data; detecting a change in the user activity; identifying nodes associated with the change in the user activity, in which the nodes are controllers that are manipulated by the user in the rigging of a character in a 3-D environment; and adjusting the nodes such that the nodes are matched to the change in the user activity.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , in which the method further includes:\n identifying a first mode in which the user is currently working, the first mode being either an inverse kinematic mode or a forward kinematic mode; finding nodes set in the first mode; configuring the nodes set in the first mode to be visible and selectable by the user while the user is in the first mode; identifying a second mode in which the user is currently not working, the second mode being either the inverse kinematic mode if the first mode is the forward kinematic mode, or the second mode being the forward kinematic mode if the first mode is the inverse kinematic mode; and configuring the nodes set in the second mode to be visible and unselectable by the user while the user is in the first mode.
