Creates two joints that always aim at each other.


Guides:

  • 'Root Guide' - Position of the root joint.
  • 'Tip Guide' - Position of the tip joint.


Attributes:

  1. 'Ctrls Scale' - Scale all the node ctrls. Note that the attachments 'Ctrls Settings' and 'CtrlsShape' will override this.
    [As of version 1.06.03]  'Update' button to change the ctrls size without requiring a rebuild. [Video] 
  2. 'Clean Transformations' -  If checked, the zeroed pose will be the same as the bind pose; if unchecked, when zeroing the ctrls, they will align with a world axis specified in the following two attributes. [Video]
  3. 'World Orientation' - The world axis the ctrls will align with when zeroed. Usually, this attribute's default value is the correct value. [Video]
  4. 'World Orient Twist' - Along with 'World Orientation', defines the ctrls zeroed pose. Usually, the default value of 0 is the correct value. [Video]
  5. 'Expose RotateOrder' - Exposes all the ctrls 'RotateOrder' attribute in the Channel Box. [Video]
  6. 'Secondary Ctrls' - Secondary ctrls are added under some ctrls to help prevent gimbal lock.

  7. 'Joint Length' - Defines whether the joints will expand, shrink, or both expand and shrink.

    (Left to right: Expandable, Shrinkable, Both)

  8. 'Volume' - Adds a 'volume' attribute to 'root_ctrl' that enables squashing and stretching when joint lengths expand or shrink.

  • 'Root Input' - Drives the 'root_ctrl'.
  • 'Tip Input' - Drives the 'tip_ctrl'.
  • 'Root Output' - An output at 'root_jnt'.
  • 'Tip Output' - An output at 'tip_jnt'.
