Orient Constraint Attributes
- Lock Output
-
Specifies whether or
not you can directly manipulate an object’s constrained channels. For
example, when the orient constraint’s Lock Output attribute
is off, you can change the orientation of the constrained object
without having to rotate the driver object.
When a constrained object’s Lock
Output attribute is on, you can
only manipulate its constrained channels by transforming its driver object.
When a constrained object’s Lock Output attribute
is off, you can directly manipulate
its constrained channels, without having to transform its driver
object.
NoteThe Animation
Blending preferences affect the default state of the Lock
Output attribute.
- Offset
-
Specifies
an offset position for the constrained object relative to the target
point. Note that the target point is the position of the target
object’s rotate pivot, or the average position of the rotate pivots
of the target objects. Default values are all 0.
Interp Type
Sets the rotation interpolation
type for the constraint. Interp Type is
relevant only when the constrained object has multiple targets.
- Average
-
Averages rotation between
the constrained object and its targets.
- Shortest
-
Finds the shortest path
between rotations from the constrained object to its targets using quaternion
interpolation.
- Longest
-
Finds the longest path
between rotations from the constrained object to its targets using quaternion
interpolation. This path is in the opposite direction from Shortest.
TipSet keyframes between Shortest and Longest rotation
interpolation to prevent flipping.
- No Flip
-
No
Flip caches the current rotation onto the constrained
object. Once you select No Flip,
you must click the Cache button to create the
cache.
Cache
Cache appears in the Interp
Type menu field when there is cached interpolation on
the constrained object.
- Create
-
Caches the current rotation
interpolation onto the constrained object. Caching reduces the chance
of flipping. Only available when you select No
Flip.
- Delete
-
Deletes the current rotation
interpolation cache from the constrained object. Only available when Cache appears
in the Interp Type menu field.
- Constraint Rotate
-
Informs
you of the constrained object’s current orientation.
- Enable Rest Position
-
- Rest Translate
