mgear.rigbits.ghost.createDoritoGhostCtl(ctl, parent=None)

Create a duplicated Ghost control for doritos Create a duplicate of the dorito/tweak and rename the original with _ghost. Later connect the local transforms and the Channels. This is useful to connect local rig controls with the final rig control.

Parameters:

  • ctl (dagNode) – Original Control to duplicate

  • parent (dagNode) – Parent for the new created control

mgear.rigbits.ghost.createGhostCtl(ctl, parent=None, connect=True)

Returns:

The new created control

Return type:

pyNode

Modify the ghost control behaviour to slide on top of a surface

Parameters:

  • ghostControls (dagNode) – The ghost control
