animation
Repositions a chain element (root, bone, or effector) while fixing all others in space. Connecting bones resize and rotate to fit the new position of the chain element. In branch mode elements after the moved element move together as a group (fixed relative to the moved element), whereas in node mode they are fixed in global space. In bone mode a bone's base and tip move together, otherwise the base and tip move independently.
MoveJoint( InputObjs, X, Y, Z, [MoveJointBranch], [MoveJointBone] ); |
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| InputObjs | String | Skeleton root, bone, effector, or joint property
Default Value: Current selection |
| X | Double | New x coordinate
Default Value: 0 |
| Y | Double | New y coordinate
Default Value: 0 |
| Z | Double | New z coordinate
Default Value: 0 |
| MoveJointBranch | Boolean | True if moving the element in branch mode, False for node mode.
Default Value: False |
| MoveJointBone | Boolean | Specifies whether to move the element as a bone or a joint. If
FALSE, the bone's base is moved and the tip stays fixed. If TRUE
the bone's bone and tip move together. This parameter is ignored
for roots and effectors.
Default Value: False |
