MakeQuadruped
v4.0
Creates a character with the same proportions as a quadruped guide. The guide must be a model named "Quadruped_Guide". This command is not compatible with quadruped guides from versions of Softimage earlier than 4.0.
oQuadruped = MakeQuadruped( [TorsoType], [TorsoStretch], [TorsoDivisions], [IconType], [MakeBelly], [BellySlide], [BellyCenterPercentage], [HeadType], [HeadStretch], [HeadDivisions], [Ears], [MakeTail], [TailDivisions], [FrontRoll], [FrontRollDivisions], [BackRoll], [BackRollDivisions], [ShadowType], [CreateShadowKeySet], [SelectUsingUI] ); |
Returns a Quadruped JScript object.
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TorsoType | Integer | Whether quaternion spine or skeleton spine should be used.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||||||||
| TorsoStretch | Integer | Whether the spine should stretch to follow the chest
controller, or maintain a constant length.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||||||||
| TorsoDivisions | Integer | The number of spine divisions. The number of vertebra will be
NbDivisions+1 .
Default Value: 3 |
||||||||||||||||||
| IconType | Integer | Type of icon to use for chest, hip, and upper body controls.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||||||||
| MakeBelly | Boolean | Option to create a belly control. See MakeBelly command.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| BellySlide | Integer | Connects two point slide controls between the belly and hip,
blending motion between the hip and belly for more realistic skin
deformation. The slides are placed on either side of the belly
control.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| BellyCenterPercentage | Double | Controls where the center of the belly is placed. A value of 0
attaches the belly center at the hip and bottom spine vertebra,
giving a large radius for belly swing. A value of 1 puts the belly
center near the belly surface, giving a small radius for belly
swing. Generally the larger the swing radius, the slower a belly
will bounce and jiggle.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| HeadType | Integer | The style of head assembly to be used.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||||||||
| HeadStretch | Integer | Whether the neck spine should stretch automatically to follow
the head, or try to maintain a constant length. This parameter is
ignored for the skeleton head type.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| HeadDivisions | Integer | The number of divisions on the neck if a spine head assembly is
choosen. This parameter is ignored for skeleton head type.
Default Value: 3 |
||||||||||||||||||
| Ears | Boolean | Option to generate ears (a form of tail, see MakeTail ) from the ear guides on the biped
guide.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| MakeTail | Boolean | Option to generate tail, see the MakeTail command.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| TailDivisions | Integer | Number of bones in tail's tracing chain.
Default Value: 6 |
||||||||||||||||||
| FrontRoll | Integer | Option to apply roll divisions to the front legs. The roll
divisions behave the same as the bicep or thigh roll divisions, see
MakeBicepRoll for description.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| FrontRollDivisions | Integer | The number of roll divisions on the front legs. If the value is
zero no roll is created.
Default Value: 3 |
||||||||||||||||||
| BackRoll | Boolean | Option to apply roll divisions to the hind legs. The roll
divisions behave the same as the bicep or thigh roll divisions, see
MakeBicepRoll for description.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| BackRollDivisions | Integer | The number of roll divisions on the hind legs. If the value is
zero no roll is created.
Default Value: 3 |
||||||||||||||||||
| ShadowType | Integer | The type of shadow rig to constrain to the quadruped. Shadow
rigs can be used to transfer or remap animation.
Default Value: 0
|
||||||||||||||||||
| CreateShadowKeySet | Boolean | If true, then the shadow rig has a character key set created
with it. It is only used in scripting.
Default Value: 0 |
||||||||||||||||||
| SelectUsingUI | Boolean | If true a dialog box prompts the user to select the above
options.
Default Value: 0 |
