Synopsis

percent [flags] <weighted node name> [objects]

This command sets percent values on members of a weighted node such as a cluster or a jointCluster. With no flags specified the command sets the percent value for selected components of the specified node to the specified percent value. A dropoff from the specified percent value to 0 can be specifed from a point, plane or curve using a dropoff distance around that shape. The percent value can also be added or multiplied with existing percent values of the node components.

Return value

none -v/value double (C, Q) The percent value to be applied. The default is 1. In query mode, returns an array of doubles corresponding to the weights of the selected object components. -dp/dropoffPosition double double double (C) Specifies the point around which to dropoff the percent value. -dax/dropoffAxis double double double (C) Specifies the axis along which to dropoff the percent value, starting from the dropoffPosition. -dc/dropoffCurve string (C) Specifies the curve around which to dropoff the percent value. -dds/dropoffDistance double (C) Specifies the dropoff distance from the point, plane or curve that was specified using the -dp -dax or -dc flags. -dt/dropoffType [ linear | sine | exponential | linearSquared | none ] (C) Specifies the type of dropoff. Used in conjunction with the -dp, -dax or -dc flags. Default is linear. -ap/addPercent (C) Add the percent value specified with the -v flag to the existing percent values -mp/multiplyPercent (C) Multiply the percent value specified with the -v flag with existing percent values

Long name (short name)[argument types]Properties
-name (-n) string
Used to specify the name of the node being created
-geometry (-g) stringqueryedit
The specified object will be added to the list of objects being deformed by this deformer object, unless the -rm flag is also specified. When queried, this flag returns string string string ...
-remove (-rm) edit
Specifies that objects listed after the -g flag should be removed from this deformer.
-before (-bf) create
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto the existing chain is not what you want then you can use this flag to force the command to stick the deformer node before the selected node in the chain even if a new geometry shape has to be created in order to do so
-after (-af) create
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto the existing chain is not what you want then you can use this flag to force the command to stick the deformer node after the selected node in the chain even if a new geometry shape has to be created in order to do so
-split (-sp) create
Branches off a new chain in the dependency graph instead of inserting/appending the deformer into/onto an existing chain.
-frontOfChain (-foc) create
This command is used to specify that the new deformer node should be placed ahead (upstream) of existing deformer and skin nodes in the shape's history (but not ahead of existing tweak nodes). The input to the deformer will be the upstream shape rather than the visible downstream shape, so the behavior of this flag is the most intuitive if the downstream deformers are in their reset (hasNoEffect) position when the new deformer is added.
-ignoreSelected (-is) create
Tells the command to not deform objects on the current selection list
-deformerTool (-dt) query
Returns the name of the deformer tool objects (if any) as string string ...
-prune (-pr) edit
Removes any points not being deformed by the deformer in its current configuration from the deformer set.
-exclusive (-ex) querycreate
Puts the deformation set in a deform partition.

Examples

  // set percents on the selected items to 0.6
  //
  percent -v 0.6 cluster1;

  // set percents on the selected items dropping off along the
  // z-axis starting at the origin. Dropoff distance is 5, and
  // the initial value is 1. Dropoff type is linear.
  //
  percent -dp 0 0 0 -dax 0 0 1 -dt linear -dds 5 -v 1 cluster1;

  // curve1. Dropoff distance is 5, and
  // the initial value is 0.3.
  //
  percent -dc curve2 -dds 3 -v 0.3 cluster2;

  // add 0.1 to the percents of the selected items
