mgear.rigbits.rbf_manager_ui

A tool to manage a number of rbf type nodes under a user defined setup(name)

Steps -

set Driver set Control for driver(optional, recommended) select attributes to driver RBF nodes Select Node to be driven in scene(Animation control, transform) Name newly created setup select attributes to be driven by the setup add any additional driven nodes position driver(via the control) position the driven node(s) select add pose

Add notes - Please ensure the driver node is NOT in the same position more than once. This will cause the RBFNode to fail while calculating. This can be fixed by deleting any two poses with the same input values.

Edit Notes - Edit a pose by selecting “pose #” in the table. (which recalls recorded pose) reposition any controls involved in the setup select “Edit Pose”

Delete notes - select desired “pose #” select “Delete Pose”

Mirror notes - setups/Controls will succefully mirror if they have had their inverseAttrs configured previously.

2.0 ——- LOOK into coloring the pose and how close it is import replace name support (will work through json manually) support live connections settings support for suffix, etc rename existing setup newScene callback
