jointLattice is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates/edits/queries a jointLattice deformer. The name
of the created/edited object is returned. Usually you would make use of
this functionality through the higher level flexor command.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
-after(-af)
|
|
|
|
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto
the existing chain is not the desired behavior then this flag
can be used to force the command to place 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.
Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has
no geometry added yet).
|
|
-afterReference(-ar)
|
|
|
|
The -afterReference flag is used to specify deformer ordering in a hybrid way that
choses between -before and -after automatically. If the geometry being
deformed is referenced then the -after mode is used when adding the new deformer,
otherwise the -before mode is used. The net effect when using -afterReference to build
deformer chains is that internal shape nodes in the deformer chain will only
appear at reference file boundaries, leading to lightweight deformer networks that
may be more amicable to reference swapping.
|
|
-before(-bf)
|
|
|
|
If the default behavior for insertion/appending into/onto
the existing chain is not the desired behavior then this flag
can be used to force the command to place 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.
Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has
no geometry added yet).
|
|
-components(-cmp)
|
|
|
|
Returns the components used by the deformer
|
|
-creasing(-cr)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the bulging of lattice points on the inside of
the bend. Positive/negative values cause the points to bulge
outwards/inwards. Default value is 0.0. When queried, this flag
returns a float.
|
|
-deformerTools(-dt)
|
|
|
|
Returns the name of the deformer tool objects (if any)
as string string ...
|
|
-exclusive(-ex)
|
string
|
|
|
Puts the deformation set in a deform partition.
|
|
-frontOfChain(-foc)
|
|
|
|
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.
Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has
no geometry added yet).
|
|
-geometry(-g)
|
string
|
|
|
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 ...
|
|
-geometryIndices(-gi)
|
|
|
|
Complements the -geometry flag in query mode. Returns
the multi index of each geometry.
|
|
-ignoreSelected(-is)
|
|
|
|
Tells the command to not deform objects on the
current selection list
|
|
-includeHiddenSelections(-ihs)
|
|
|
|
Apply the deformer to any visible and hidden objects in the selection list.
Default is false.
|
|
-joint(-j)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the joint which will be used to drive the
bulging behaviours.
|
|
-lengthIn(-li)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the location of lattice points on the parent
bone. Positive/negative values cause the points to move
away/towards the joint. Changing this parameter also modifies
the regions affected by the creasing, rounding and width
parameters. Default value is 0.0. When queried, this flag
returns a float.
|
|
-lengthOut(-lo)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the location of lattice points on the child bone.
Positive/negative values cause the points to move away/towards
the joint. Changing this parameter also modifies the regions
affected by the creasing, rounding and width parameters. Default
value is 0.0. When queried, this flag returns a float.
|
|
-lowerBindSkin(-lb)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the node which is performing the bind skin
operation on the geometry associated with the lower bone.
|
|
-lowerTransform(-lt)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies which dag node is being used to rigidly transform
the lower part of the lattice which this node is going to deform.
If this flag is not specified an identity matrix will be assumed.
|
|
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Used to specify the name of the node being created.
|
|
-parallel(-par)
|
|
|
|
Inserts the new deformer in a parallel chain to any existing deformers in
the history of the object. A blendShape is inserted to blend the parallel
results together.
Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has
no geometry added yet).
|
|
-prune(-pr)
|
|
|
|
Removes any points not being deformed by the deformer in
its current configuration from the deformer set.
|
|
-remove(-rm)
|
|
|
|
Specifies that objects listed after the -g flag should
be removed from this deformer.
|
|
-rounding(-ro)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the bulging of lattice points on the outside
of the bend. Positive/negative values cause the points to bulge
outwards/inwards. Default value is 0.0. When queried, this flag
returns a float.
|
|
-selectedComponents(-cms)
|
|
|
|
Returns the components used by the deformer that are currently selected.
This intersects the current selection with the components affected by the deformer.
|
|
-split(-sp)
|
|
|
|
Branches off a new chain in the dependency graph instead
of inserting/appending the deformer into/onto an
existing chain.
Works in create mode (and edit mode if the deformer has
no geometry added yet).
|
|
-upperBindSkin(-ub)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the node which is performing the bind skin
operation on the geometry associated with the upper bone.
|
|
-upperTransform(-ut)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies which dag node is being used to rigidly transform
the upper part of the lattice which this node is going to deform.
If this flag is not specified an identity matrix will be assumed.
|
|
-useComponentTags(-uct)
|
|
|
|
When this flag is specified a setup using componentTags will be created.
This means no groupId, groupParts, tweak or objectSet nodes will be
created and connected to the new deformer.
|
|
-widthLeft(-wl)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the bulging of lattice points on the left side
of the bend. Positive/negative values cause the points to bulge
outwards/inwards. Default value is 0.0. When queried, this flag
returns a float.
|
|
-widthRight(-wr)
|
float
|
|
|
Affects the bulging of lattice points on the right
side of the bend. Positive/negative values cause the points to
bulge outwards/inwards. Default value is 0.0. When queried, this
flag returns a float.
