Blending Space switching

[Calle]

Hello,
Usually on rigs there are an attribute called “isolate” or “global” that simply just orients the Fk control to either the parent control or to the Main control/world control.
You usually get this on the head, arms and legs so you don’t need to counter animate those controls from what the body is doing, and you are able blend smoothly between them.
Is this somehow possible within Mgear or is this something i need to setup manully after the rig is generated?

Thanks for a great tool!

Hi Calle,

Rotation isolation:
Miquel said it is possible to do orientation space switching, but it is not visible from the GUI. I don’t personally know if this was added in a later release of mGear yet.

Rotation space switch for control_01?

Hello, Sorry for the late reply here. I did add the option to constraint using rotation in control_01 long ago…but I forgot to expose it The code is here [image] you can set it manually by like here [image] you need at less 2 spaces if not it will fall back to change the hierarchy. I will fix it on the next release . indeed this is an old thicket: Cheers, Miquel

Blending smoothly:
As far as I know, the space switches do not blend smoothly. They are controlled by an enum attribute. So if you wanted a smooth blend, I think you would have to set it up yourself.

Jerome talked about that here: Progressive space switch - IK Reference Array
