Methods Documentation

CAReferencePSD.SetInterpolationMode(self, interpMode)¶

Sets the auto weighting interpolation mode.

Parameters:

interpMode (int) –

The interpolation mode to set:

CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_AXIS	Per joint axis.
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_JOINT	Per joint interpolation (joint axis average).
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_GLOBAL	Use one global value (joint average).
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_DEFAULT	Default.

CAReferencePSD.GetInterpolationMode(self)¶

Returns the auto weighting interpolation mode.

Return type: int

Returns:

The interpolation mode:

CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_AXIS	Per joint axis.
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_JOINT	Per joint interpolation (joint axis average).
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_GLOBAL	Use one global value (joint average).
CAMORPH_PSDINTERPOLATION_MODE_DEFAULT	Default.

CAReferencePSD.ForceJointAsDriver(self, jointIndex, forceDriver)¶

Forces the joint index to be a driver.

Note

If any of the joints is marked as a forced driver, only those are considered in automatic weighting.

Parameters:	jointIndex (int) – The weight tag joint index to use as driver. forceDriver (bool) – True if the joint is used as a driver, otherwise False.

CAReferencePSD.IsJointForcedAsDriver(self, jointIndex)¶

Checks if the joint index is a user forced driver.

Note

If any of the joints is marked as a forced driver, only those are considered in automatic weighting.

Parameters:	jointIndex (int) – The weight tag joint index to use as driver.
Return type:	bool
Returns:	True if the joint is forced as a driver, otherwise False.

CAReferencePSD.ClearAllForcedDrivers(self)¶: Removes all user defined joint as driver and let the system manage it automatically.

CAReferencePSD.RestoreReferencePose(self)¶: Displays skeleton and user defined controller at the reference pose.

CAReferencePSD.UpdateReferencePose(self)¶: Updates the current skeleton state as the PSD reference pose.

CAReferencePSD.ClearAllExternalControllers(self)¶: Removes all external controllers assigned to the reference pose.

CAReferencePSD.GetExternalControllerCount(self)¶

Return the number of external controllers associated with the reference pose.

Return type:	int
Returns:	The external controller count.

CAReferencePSD.GetExternalController(self, controllerIndex)¶

Returns the controller assigned to the given index.

Parameters:	controllerIndex (int) – The controller index: 0 <= controllerIndex < `GetExternalControllerCount()`.
Return type:	c4d.BaseObject
Returns:	The external controller, or None if the function failed.

CAReferencePSD.GetExternalControllerMatrix(self, controllerIndex)¶

Returns the matrix stored at the given index.

Parameters:	controllerIndex (int) – The controller index: 0 <= controllerIndex < `GetExternalControllerCount()`.
Return type:	c4d.Matrix
Returns:	The external controller global matrix, or a default `c4d.Matrix()` if the function failed.

CAReferencePSD.SetExternalControllerMatrix(self, controllerIndex, globalMatrix)¶

Adds or adjusts the given controller global matrix to be part of the reference pose.

Parameters:	controllerIndex (int) – The controller index: 0 <= controllerIndex < `GetExternalControllerCount()`. globalMatrix (c4d.Matrix) – The global matrix used as a reference.
Return type:	int
Returns:	The index of the controller, NOTOK/-1 if invalid.

CAReferencePSD.RemoveExternalController(self, controllerIndex)¶

Removes the external controller at the given index.

Parameters:	controllerIndex (int) – The controller index: 0 <= controllerIndex < `GetExternalControllerCount()`.
Return type:	bool
Returns:	True if successful, otherwise False.
