To create a point on curve locator
- Create a NURBS curve.
- To select a curve point on the curve,
-click
the curve and select Curve Point from the marking
menu.
- Click on the curve at where you would
like to create the point on curve locator constraint. The curve
point is displayed as a small yellow box.
- Drag along the curve to adjust the point’s
position on the curve.
As you drag, you move
the curve point. The curve point’s position is defined in terms
of the curve’s U parameter.
- Select
Create Deformers > Point On Curve >
.
The Point
On Curve Options window appears. See
Create Deformers > Point On Curve.
- Set the options. You can also do the
following:
- Select Edit > Save Settings to
save the constraint options and keep the options window open.
- Select Edit > Reset Settings to
reset to the default constraint options and keep the options window
open.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Create to
create a point on curve locator constraint. The options window closes.
Maya creates a locator
at the curve point with the default point on curve options. The
curve point is now constrained to the locator.
For each curve, Maya
creates a least squares modifier node (default name: leastSquaresModifiern).
- Click Apply to
create a point on curve locator constraint and keep the options
window open.
- Click Close to
close the Point On Curve Options window.
