I’m currently making a pose library and I want to add a nudge feature to it, the only issue I’m running into now is getting the right algorithm for it. The approach I’m taking is to add 10% of the total value of the pose to the current value of each attr of the control that is to move(determined by the pose). Is this the wrong approach? Am I going to need to use matrix math to figure out the translations and rotations in world space to get the controls in the right area? As of now what I figured it should be is this:
if I wanted to move 10% closer to the pose I’m selecting…
newValue = currentValue + (totalValue * .1)
Right now the values do indeed move by a 10% increase but not toward the pose itself, it just increases the attr values. Any hints would be awesome. Don’t flat out give me the answer though, I need to train my brain to figure this crap out.
This way, you’re moving 10% to the attribute values instead of adding 10%. I would imagine you’ll run into problems if a value is < 0 with your current method. Maybe not.
I’m sure someone with more knowledge than myself will have a better solution, however personally I would have attempted it this way (possibly finding myself in the same situation as you). I’m unsure of the results as I don’t have 3ds Max or Maya in front of me
I’m thinking that you could take the value of the attributes from whatever pose exists on the frame that is 10% of the distance between your target pose and the next pose.
