MakeFoot
v4.0
Creates a rigged three bone foot. The foot rig is created from a
collection of 6 or more guide objects (see the
GuideObjectCollection parameter below for guide
requirements).
The rig created by MakeFoot contains a foot control and roll
control. It can optionally create a distribution control, typically
used for the dog leg IK distribution. This IK distribution control
is created by default by MakeDogLeg.
Optionally a shadow rig can be attached to the foot. Shadow objects
are created for each chain element in the foot, and shadow bones
are pose-constrained to the acutal foot bones. Shadow rigs can be
used to plot animation off of a rig.
oFoot = MakeFoot( Model, Parent, [ShortPrefix], [FullPrefix], GuideObjectCollection, Sliders, [Extension], [ShadowType], [ShadowParent], [ThreeBoneToe] ); |
Returns a Foot JScript object.
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model | String | The model that the foot will belong to. | ||||||||||||
| Parent | String | The parent of the foot controls | ||||||||||||
| ShortPrefix | String | The short name (typically "L" or "R") to be used in the new rig. If the prefix is not given a dialog box appears prompting for one. | ||||||||||||
| FullPrefix | String | The long name (typically "Left" or "Right") to be used in the new rig. If the prefix is not given a dialog box appears prompting for one. | ||||||||||||
| GuideObjectCollection | String | A list of at least 6 objects to search for when making the foot: Middle Pivot; Right Pivot; Left Pivot; and at least 3 objects running from the start of the foot to the end of the toe (this means the foot must be at least a two bone chain). Extra items are added onto the length of the foot. | ||||||||||||
| Sliders | String | A slider PPG for foot parameters. If none is supplied a slider page is created. | ||||||||||||
| Extension | Boolean | Whether or not an Extension object is made for controlling dog
leg IK distribution. If true ,an extension icon is created.
Default Value: False |
||||||||||||
| ShadowType | Integer | The type of shadow rig to attach to the foot. Shadow rigs can
be used to transfer or remap animation.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||
| ShadowParent | String | Parent of the shadow rig hiearchy. If empty, no shadow rig is generated. | ||||||||||||
| ThreeBoneToe | Boolean | True to create three-bone toes.
Default Value: True |
