Oh well I just play around with mgear and ngskinning and it doesnt feel that bad. Maybe cause it is what you are supposed to do. Use plugins and try to avoid maya internal functions as often as possible. 2015-02-03 9:12 GMT+01:00 Gerbrand Nel <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: I sometimes smile when I hear that.. but mostly,....

Didn't know that this also applies for Constraints, only did this with skinning to have controllers stick to a surface and then deform it. Thank you :) 2015-02-03 0:47 GMT+01:00 Ben Barker <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: The constraint reads the parent matrix and pivots from the driven object because it compensates for those things. For example, if you move the parent of a constrained object, the constrained object won't move. This is because the constraint is actively cancelling out that parent's movement. All that compensation/movement/etc is decomposed into an SRT and pumped into the driven object. This doesn't cause a cycle because cycle detection in Maya is more atomic than just node to node. The node itself decides which attributes are dependant on other attributes internally. So you can have what look like cycles in the hypergraph, but if you think about it the data itself isn't actually cyclical.
