Detailed Description

Function set for joints.

This is the function set for joints.

The transformation matrix for a joint node is below.

matrix = [S] * [RO] * [R] * [JO] * [IS] * [T]

(where '*' denotes matrix multiplication).

These matrices are defined as follows:

[S] : scale
[RO] : rotateOrient (attribute name is rotateAxis)
[R] : rotate
[JO] : jointOrient
[IS] : parentScaleInverse
[T] : translate

The methods to get the value of these matrices are:

[S] : getScale
[RO] : getScaleOrientation
[R] : getRotation
[JO] : getOrientation
[IS] : (the inverse of the getScale on the parent transformation matrix)
[T] : translation

Examples:: AbcBullet/MayaTransformWriter.cpp, AbcBullet/MayaTransformWriter.h, AbcExport/MayaTransformWriter.cpp, AbcExport/MayaTransformWriter.h, AbcExport/MayaUtility.cpp, and AbcExport/MayaUtility.h.

Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type type ( ) const

virtual

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kJoint.

Returns: the class type.

Reimplemented from MFnTransform.

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN const char * className ( )

static

Returns the name of this class.

Return the class name : "MFnIkJoint".

Returns: Name of this class.

MObject create	(	MObject	parent = `MObject::kNullObj`,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = `NULL`
	)

Create a new joint in a skeleton.

In maya, skeletons are defined entirely by DAG hierarchy. So, giving the joint you want to attach to as a parent will add this joint to that skeleton.

Parameters

[in]	parent	the parent object for this in the dag. A value of NULL specifies the world dag node as parent.
[out]	ReturnStatus	Status Code (see below)

Returns: The parent transform of the new joint

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess The joint was successfully created and added to the DAG
MS::kInsufficientMemory Not enough memory available to create the new joint
MS::kLicenseFailure Application not licensed for attempted operation
MS::kFailure An error occurred adding the new joint to the DAG.

MStatus getOrientation ( MQuaternion & quaternion ) const

Get the joint orientation.

This corresponds to the jointOrient attribute on the joint, which is stored internally as a quaternion. It is different from the rotation orientation defined in the transform node. Modifying the jointOrient changes the coordinate axes, which affects how scaling a joint behaves.

The matrix equations used to combine the jointOrient with the other transformation attributes of the joint are described in the description for the MFnIkJoint class.

Parameters

[out] quaternion the quaternion representing the jointOrient

Returns: Status code (see below)

Status Codes:

MS::kSuccess The orientation was successfully returned
MS::kFailure This function set has not been attached to a valid object

Examples:: AbcBullet/MayaTransformWriter.cpp, and AbcExport/MayaTransformWriter.cpp.

MStatus setOrientation ( const MQuaternion & quaternion )

Set the jointOrient value.

This corresponds to the jointOrient attribute on the joint, which is stored internally as a quaternion. It is different from the rotation orientation defined in the transform node. Modifying the jointOrient changes the coordinate axes, which affects how scaling a joint behaves.
