This is a versatile component that can create, parent, and constrain TransformObject nodes in a rig.
See rigging a simple geometry and rigging a character for example uses of this component.
Parameters ¶
guidesource
The guide skeleton that is used as a reference when creating new drivers (controls that drive other controls).
setups
Click 
beside setups to create multiple drivers.
Settings ¶
use_t
When turned on, the translation of the driven node is affected by the driver.
use_r
When turned on, the rotation of the driven node is affected by the driver.
use_s
When turned on, the scale of the driven node is affected by the driver.
ignoreoffset
When turned on, calculates offsets to keep the driven node at its world space position. When turned off, the driven is constrained to the driver’s position without offsets.
Driven ¶
driventransforms
The TransformObject nodes that are driven by the driver. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, %tag(<tag>).
Control ¶
driver
The name of the new/existing driver.
driverguide
When creating a new driver, this is the position of the driver. If driverguide is empty, the driver is placed at the origin. If the driver already exists in the hierarchy, the driver’s position is used, and driverguide is ignored.
This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field.
driverparent
The parent of the driver.
makecontrol
When turned on, creates a control for the driver.
promotet
When turned on, promotes the translate component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s translation in the animate state. See APEX graph controls for more information on promoting parameters.
promoter
When turned on, promotes the rotate component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s rotation in the animate state.
promotes
When turned on, promotes the scale component of the driver. This allows you to see and adjust the driver’s scale in the animate state.
rord
The rotation order of the driver.
xord
The transformation order of the driver.
Tags ¶
Shape ¶
shape
The shape of the driver’s control. It can be set to any of the built-in APEX control shapes.
scale
The scale of the driver’s control shape. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
color
The color of the driver’s control shape.
rotate
The rotation of the driver’s control shape. This only affects the control shape, and not the actual TransformObject transforms.
