hikIKEffector

The hikIKEffector node can be used to drive Human IK on an associated joint hierarchy. This is a new node made to work with the HIK plugin first introduced in Maya 2011. This is the preferred element to be used with HIK control rigs instead of the hikEffector, which is to be used with the legacy Full Body IK setups.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
alpha (alp)	float	1.0
Used to store the alpha value for fbx import/export
altConstraintTargetGX (atx)	matrix	identity
Alternate worldspace matrix used when the rig element is used as a target for a basic constraint
alternateGX (agx)	matrix	identity
Alternate worldspace matrix that is used for drawing only when useAlternateGX is on
auxEffector (aeff)	bool	false
Whether this effector behaves as an auxilliary effector.
auxiliaries (aux)	Message	n/a
This attribute is used to preserve a logical link between the master effector and it's auxiliary effectors (extra/pivots). Is used to draw the link in the viewport.
color (col)	float3
Used to store the color for fbx import/export
colorR (clr) float 1.0 Used to store the red color value for fbx import/export
colorG (clg) float 0.0 Used to store the green color value for fbx import/export
colorB (clb) float 0.0 Used to store the blue color value for fbx import/export
effectorID (ei)	integer	0
The HumanIK effectorId. This is used internally by the HumanIK solver and should not be modified by the user.
look (lk)	enum	4
Specifies how the hikIKEffector should be drawn.
markerLook (mkl)	enum	3
Used to store the marker look for fbx import/export
pinning (pin)	enum	0
The pinning state for HIK. 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.
pinR (pinr)	bool	false
The pin rotation flag for HumanIK.
pinT (pint)	bool	false
The pin translation flag for HumanIK.
pivotOffset (po)	double3
Pivot offset information. The main effectors have an offset of 0,0,0. Extra pivots have translation offsets that are measured in the local space of the main effector.
pivotOffsetX (px) distance (double) 0.0cm PivotOffset X.
pivotOffsetY (py) distance (double) 0.0cm PivotOffset Y.
pivotOffsetZ (pz) distance (double) 0.0cm PivotOffset Z.
jointOrient (jo)	double3
The pre rotation, similar to the joint orient on joints.
jointOrientX (jox) angle (double) 0.0deg pre rotationX.
jointOrientY (joy) angle (double) 0.0deg pre rotationY.
jointOrientZ (joz) angle (double) 0.0deg pre rotationZ.
radius (radi)	double	1.0
Draw radius for the effector.
reachRotation (rr)	double	0.0
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.
reachTranslation (rt)	double	0.0
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.
rotateOffset (rof)	double3
Rotation Offset
rotateOffsetX (rox) angle (double) 0.0deg Rotate Offset X.
rotateOffsetY (roy) angle (double) 0.0deg Rotate Offset Y.
rotateOffsetZ (roz) angle (double) 0.0deg Rotate Offset Z.
scaleOffset (sof)	double3
Scale Offset
scaleOffsetX (sox) double 1.0 Scale Offset Y.
scaleOffsetY (soy) double 1.0 Scale Offset Y.
scaleOffsetZ (soz) double 1.0 Scale Offset Z.
translateOffset (tof)	double3
Translation Offset
translateOffsetX (tox) distance (double) 0.0cm Translate Offset X.
translateOffsetY (toy) distance (double) 0.0cm Translate Offset Y.
translateOffsetZ (toz) distance (double) 0.0cm Translate Offset Z.
useAlternateGX (uagx)	bool	false
trigger the use of alternateGX.
