Long name (short name) Type Default Flags
joint (jt) Message n/a outputinputconnectable
The associated joint for human ik
fkjoint (fj) Message n/a outputinputconnectable
The associated FK joint for human ik
pinning (pin) enum 0 outputinputconnectablestorable
The pinning state for full-body IK. When set to "unpinned", effectors will translate and rotate depending on the full-body solution. When set to "pinTranslate" the effectors may rotate with the full-body solution, but their translation will not be modified. When set to "pinRotate" the effectors will translate with the full-body solution, but their rotation will not be modified. When set to "pinAll", the effectors will not rotate or translate.
handle (ha) bool false arrayoutputconnectable
connection to associated ik handle
effectorID (ei) integer 0 outputinputconnectablestorablehidden
The HumanIK effectorId. This is used internally by the HumanIK solver and should not be modified by the user.
pivots (pvt) Message n/a arrayoutputinputconnectable
The associated hikEffectors, each to represent a different pivot
pivotOffset (po) double3 outputinputconnectablestorable
Pivot offset.
pivotOffsetX (px) distance (double) 0.0cm outputinputconnectablestorable
PivotOffset X.
pivotOffsetY (py) distance (double) 0.0cm outputinputconnectablestorable
PivotOffset Y.
pivotOffsetZ (pz) distance (double) 0.0cm outputinputconnectablestorable
PivotOffset Z.
reachTranslation (rt) double 0.0 outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Controls how much the joints want to reach their associated effector's translation. A value of 1.0 indicates that the joints fully try to reach the effector's translation. A value of 0.0 indicates that the joints ignore the effector's translation.
reachRotation (rr) double 0.0 outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Controls how much the joints want to reach their associated effector's rotation. A value of 1.0 indicates that the joints fully try to reach the effector's rotation. A value of 0.0 indicates that the joints ignore the effector's rotation.
radius (radi) double 1.0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Draw radius for the effector.
auxEffector (aeff) bool false outputinputconnectablestorable
Whether this effector behaves as an auxilliary effector.
preRotation (pr) double3 outputinputconnectablestorable
The pre rotation, similar to the joint orient on joints.
preRotationX (prx) angle (double) 0.0deg outputinputconnectablestorable
pre rotationX.
preRotationY (pry) angle (double) 0.0deg outputinputconnectablestorable
pre rotationY.
preRotationZ (prz) angle (double) 0.0deg outputinputconnectablestorable
pre rotationZ.
color (col) float3 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the color for fbx import/export
colorR (clr) float 1.0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the red color value for fbx import/export
colorG (clg) float 0.0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the green color value for fbx import/export
colorB (clb) float 0.0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the blue color value for fbx import/export
alpha (alp) float 1.0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the alpha value for fbx import/export
markerLook (mkl) enum 3 outputinputconnectablestorable
Used to store the marker look for fbx import/export
