v4.0
character rigging
Attaches controllers to a curve or curves, giving layered
deformation with precise control over evenly distributed slides and
offsets. Especially useful for spline based facial setups.
Three controllers are created for each control point on the curve.
Point controllers move the control points of the curve. Path
controllers are path constrained to the curve at evenly spaced
length percentages. Offset controls are used for additional
translation (like pinching of wrinkes in facial expressions) or
twising along a curve.
oControlSpline = MakeControlSplines( CurveCollection, [NbDivisions], [Scale], Parent, [PointMarkerType], [PathMarkerType], [OffsetMarkerType], [PointColor], [PathColor], [OffsetColor], [InputFromUI] ); |
Returns a ControlSpline JScript object.
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CurveCollection | String | A collection of curves to attach controllers to. A single curve can also be passed. If multilple curves are passed they are searched for matching start and end points to share point markers. | ||||||||||||||
| NbDivisions | Integer | The number of equally spaced divisions along the curve to place
path markers.
Default Value: 6 |
||||||||||||||
| Scale | Double | The scale at which to draw the controllers.
Default Value: 1.0 |
||||||||||||||
| Parent | String | The parent for the point marker objects. If empty the scene root is used. | ||||||||||||||
| PointMarkerType | Integer | The type of control object for the points of the curves.
Default Value: 5 (diamond)
|
||||||||||||||
| PathMarkerType | Integer | The type of control object divided along the curve.
Default Value: 1 (null)
|
||||||||||||||
| OffsetMarkerType | Integer | The type of control object which is a child of the PathMarkers
for position and roll offsets. Offsets are not be made if the
PathMakerType is set to 0.
Default Value: 2 (cube)
|
||||||||||||||
| PointColor | Integer | The type of shadow rig to constrain to the spine.
Default Value: 377 (light green) |
||||||||||||||
| PathColor | Integer | The type of shadow rig to constrain to the spine.
Default Value: 65 (dark green) |
||||||||||||||
| OffsetColor | Integer | The color of the offset control objects.
Default Value: 560 (blue) |
||||||||||||||
| InputFromUI | Integer | Allows the above parameters to be selected from a dialog box.
Default Value: false |
