Sets up pose-based deformation so that shape animation can be driven by the orientation of one ore more specified
objects. Once the pose-base deformation is set up using LinkDeformOri and deform keys are created (using
ApplyDeformKey or SaveDeformKey), the orientation of the selected objects
drive the deformation of the geometry. The resulting deformation is interpolated smoothly between the shapes in the
N-space defined by the N object orientations. For better results, the interpolation between the object orientations
is done using quaternions.
Pose-based deformation (which is based on multi-linked parameters) allows you to link the shape of a cluster to several
parameters simultaneously. The resulting shapes are smoothly interpolated in the space defined by the parameters. Pose-based
deformations are particularly useful to link the shape of muscles to bone orientations or other parameters.
oReturn = LinkDeformWithOri( Cluster, Parameter list, [LinkWithOri] ); |
Returns an ISIVTCollection containing an XSICollection which contains the objects whose orientation is linked with the shape.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cluster | String |
Cluster to consider for future deformations Default Value: Current selection |
| Parameter list | String |
List of objects whose orientation will be linked with the shape. Default Value: Picked in scene. |
| LinkWithOri | Boolean |
True to link deformation with rotation. Default Value: False |
