pymel.core.nodetypes.JointCluster

class JointCluster(*args, **kwargs)

class counterpart of mel function jointCluster

The joint cluster command adds high-level controls to manage the cluster percentage values on a bound skin around a joint. JointClusters are one way to create smooth bending behaviour on skin when joints rotate. . a —- aboveBound . ____________a_________ . a . Joint1 a Joint2 . _____________a_______ . a b — belowBound . a b . b . b . b . b Joint3 CVs/vertices between Joint1 and aaaaa (aboveBound) receive only translation/rotation/scale from Joint1. CVs vertices between aaaa and bbbb transition between translation/rotatation/scale from Joint1 and Joint2. CV2 beyand bbbbb (below bound) receive only translation/ rotation scale from Joint3.

getAboveBound(**kwargs)

Specifies the where the drop-off begins in the direction of the bone above the joint. A value of 100 indicates the entire length of the bone. The default value is 10.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.jointCluster

getAboveCluster(**kwargs)

Returns the name of the cluster associated with the bone above this joint.

getAboveDropoffType(**kwargs)

Specifies the type of percentage drop-off in the direction of the bone above this joint. Valid values are “linear”, “exponential”, “sine” and “none”. Default is linear.

getAboveValue(**kwargs)

Specifies the drop-off percentage of the joint cluster in the direction of the bone above the cluster. A value of 100 indicates the entire length of the bone. The default value is 50.
