CENTIPEDE - Animation Keyframe Timeline for Grasshopper

I know this is a very simple idea, but I got tired of setting up definitions to animate multiple objects with a single slider, even then, key-framing is a nightmare, so....

This allows the user to keyframe the animation of multiple objects in Grasshopper along a single slider. (Centipede is a vb.NET plugin for grasshopper (0.8))

Hopefully , with some more work and a lot of help , this could become a proper plugin within the Grasshopper framework. It is still rough, but the idea is there. I would appreciate any feedback. Instructions are embedded in the definition itself.

I hope this helps someone out with their project, enjoy :)

Did you ever get this to work? My centipede will export but only .bmp files and not actually .obj files which is not what I want. Any idea how to address this?

Centipede is used for animating multiple sliders with a single slider. How would you like to animated the panels? Are you wanting to animated different panels at different times?
