LScript - Motion_Shift

LScript (Layout) to shift channels by another objects or parent motion. It is a easier way to setup offsets for shifted pivot setups where an object parented to another can shift its pivot back to place to allow its parent pivot to move freely.

Compatible with Newtek LightWave 9.6 and above.
