The method of storing the input skeleton.

The frame at which to store the topology.

When Method is set to Stash, this button stashes the input topology at the current frame.

A list of attributes to freeze along with the skeleton’s topology.

When turned on, finds any points with an empty name attribute and initializes the name using the Prefix specified. The prefix is appended with a number starting at 0 and increases for each missing name.

The prefix used for initializing empty point names.

When turned on, this node checks through the point names, resolving any duplicates and names with spaces (any space in a point’s name is replaced with an underscore).

When turned on, stores the input name to the specified point string attribute.

Specifies how the node handles a failed traversal of the skeleton’s hierarchy.

When turned on, attempts to traverse the input geometry as a SOP skeleton.

When turned on, outputs a parent_idx point attribute with its value set to the point number of a given point’s parent.

When turned on, outputs an integer array point attribute containing the point numbers of each point’s children.

When turned on, outputs an integer point attribute set to the order in which the point appears in the traversal.

When turned on, creates a 3@transform attribute on the points if missing, and initializes it to identity.

When Initialize Transforms is turned on, this sets the 3@transform attribute based on other point instance attributes, as recognized by the Copy To Points SOP.

For orientation, p@orient is used if present. If p@orient is not present, the combination of v@N and v@up is used, setting the Z-axis of the transform to v@N, and the Y-axis to v@up. If none of the above are present, the orientations are set to identity.

For scales, v@scale is used if present. If v@scale is not present, the f@pscale is used. Otherwise the scales are set to identity.

When turned on, performs a simple reorienting of the points' transforms to point the Vector To Child vector to the next joint in the chain. If the point has multiple children, the average position is used. Leaf joints use their parent’s position as the reference for the orientation. This parameter is available when Initialize Transforms is turned on.

When Re-Orient To Child is turned on, this is the local space vector of the points' transforms to point toward the point’s child.

The style of the axis display.

When turned on, displays a guide for each edge in the input geometry pointing from parent to child.

The scale of the guides.

Runs a heuristic to set the Joint Scale parameter based on the root joint’s scale and the size of the skeleton’s bounding box. This can be useful when working with imported skeletons that may have had their units converted.
