SetEnvelopeRefPoses

Introduced

v1.0

Description

Set new values for Envelope deformer objects' reference poses. After an envelope has been assigned, you can change the reference pose of the envelope.

The reference pose is the stance that the envelope and its deformers return to when you use the Reset Actor command. It is also the pose that determines the initial weighting of points to deformers based on proximity.

Scripting Syntax

oReturn = SetEnvelopeRefPoses( [InputObjs] );

Return Value

Returns the new envelope deformer objects.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
