Functions

addDrivenGroup(node)	add driven group, pad, above the provided node for direct connection
compensateLocator(node)	Create a locator that parents under desired node, to manipulated directly connected nodes.
connectRBFToggleAttr(node, rbfNode, …)	connect the “envelope” attr with its corresponding rbfNode
copyInverseMirrorAttrs(srcNode, dstNode)	within mGear the concept of inverseAttrs, so that transforms can be accurately mirrored, exists and this copys the relavent attrs from src to dest
createDriverControlAttr(node)	create the string attr where information will be stored for query associated driver anim control
createDriverControlPoseAttr(node)	ensure the driverControlPoseAttr exists on the (RBF)node provided
createRBFToggleAttr(node)	creates a node to toggle the rbf pose that drives the node
decompMatrix(node, matrix)	Decomposes a MMatrix in new api.
deleteRBFToggleAttr(node)	remove the toggle attribute from the node
getConnectedRBFToggleNode(node, toggleAttr)	get the node connected to the rbf(node)
getDrivenMatrix(node[, absoluteWorld])	check if there is a control node for the provided node(driven) if so, collect the matrix information for both
getDriverControlAttr(node)	get the stored information from control attr
getDriverControlPoseAttr(node)	record the dict, stored as a str, holding driver control pose information.
getMultipleAttrs(node, attributes)	get multiple attrs and their values in a list, in order
getRbfSceneSetupsInfo([includeEmpty])	gather scene rbf nodes with setups in dict
getSceneRBFNodes()	get all rbf nodes in the scene of supported type
getSceneSetupNodes()	get rbf nodes with setups attributes
getSetupName(node)	get setup name from specified rbf node
recallDriverControlPose(driverControl, …)	set the driverControl to the index requested.
removeCompensateLocator(node)	remove the locator under the desired node if exists
removeDrivenGroup(node)	remove driven group above desired node
resetDrivenNodes(node)	use mgear convenience function to reset all available transform nodes
setDriverControlAttr(node, controlName)	create and set attr with the driver animControl string
setDriverControlPoseAttr(node, poseInfo)	set the driverControlPoseAttr with the poseInfo provided, as string
setSetupName(node, setupName)	set setup name on the specified node
setToggleRBFAttr(node, value, toggleAttr)	Toggle rbfattr on or off (any value provided)
updateDriverControlPoseAttr(node, …)	get the ControlPoseDict add any additionally recorded values to and set

Classes

RBFNode(name)

A class to normalize the function between different types of rbf nodes that essentially perform the same task.
