Class Description

Proxy constraint node.

MPxConstraint is the parent class for user defined constraint nodes. Position, orientation or scale of an object can be constrained by other objects. This class works in conjunction with the MPxConstraintCommand class.

Examples:: geometrySurfaceConstraint/geometrySurfaceConstraint.cpp, and geometrySurfaceConstraint/geometrySurfaceConstraint.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum UpVectorType

The type of up vector.

Enumerator
kScene	Scene up vector.
kObject	Object up vector.
kObjectRotation	Object rotation up vector.
kVector	Specified vector.
kLast	Last value, used for counting.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MPxConstraint ( )

Constructor.

The constructor should never call any methods from MPxConstraint or make any calls that require the existence of the MObject associated with the user defined node. The postConstructor method should be used to do any initialization of this kind.

Member Data Documentation

MObject enableRestPosition

static

Node attribute: enableRestPosition/erp - boolean.

This attribute defines the constraint behavior when all weights are at zero.

If true, the constraint goes to the restTranslate position when all weights are zero. If false, the constraint output is not computed when all weights are zero.

MObject lockOutput

static

Node attribute: lockOutput/lo - boolean.

When enabled, the constrained object cannot be moved away from its constrained location, and a pairBlend will not be inserted if the user tries to keyframe the constrained attributes.

This allows for the pre-5.0 behavior of constraints. When disabled, the constrained object can be moved away from the constraint and a pairBlend will be inserted if the object is keyframed and the animation blending preference specifies that blending is enabled.
