By using ‘CustomDriven’, any Maya transform can be driven via a connection.
Two Maya transforms are actually constrained by connection attributes (attributes with green circles).
With the ‘CustomDrivern’ attachment, you can specify a driven Maya transform as well as how it should be driven.
Attributes:
- ‘Method’ – Dropdown with two options that enable one of the attributes below.
- ‘List’ – All the ctrls and joints associated with the node to select one as the driven.
- ‘Node Name’ – You can enter any Maya transform name here, even from a different node, though this might cause problems, so only transforms belonging to the node should be used. You can load a selected transform by using the arrow button. Check your selection by looking at the indicator ‘*‘ color and tooltip.
- ‘Custom Driven’ – Also appears on the attachment shape. Will appear yellow once the attribute is connected.
You can also input the name of a transform. - ‘Connection Type’ – Select the type of connection you want from a dropdown list. Depending on the selection, the attributes below will either be enabled or disabled.
- ‘Maintain Offset’ – Maintains the current position/rotation of the driven transform.
- ‘Force Connection’ – Disconnects any existing connections. When unchecked, any attribute already connected will be skipped.
- ‘Force When Locked’ – When unchecked, locked attributes are skipped.
- ‘Attributes’ – List of translation, rotation, and scale attributes. Unchecked attributes are skipped.
- ‘Aim Constraint Settings’ – Same settings as Maya’s aim constraint.
