Joint Groomer

 
 
 

Use this utility to move guides using FK and spline IK.

FK Joint Chain

When on, Maya creates a joint chain with the splines using Forward Kinematics.

Spline IK Join Chain

When on, Maya creates a Spline Inverse Kinematic Joint chain.

Lock Length

Locks curve length to prevent stretching between the CVs on the curves.

Stretchy Curve

Allows stretching between the CVs on the curves.

Number of Joint/CVs

Sets the number of joints per-CV on the curves.

Selection
Sets the selection mode when selecting the joint chain after it is created.
1st Cluster
Selects the first joint cluster in the joint chain.
Joint Hierarchy
Selects all of the joint clusters in the joint chain.
