configFollow(frontAxis, upAxis, worldUpVector=None, worldUpObject=None)

Performs quick configuration of follow options. If no ‘up’ hints are provided, the curve normal is used. All previous configuration is discarded.

Parameters

• frontAxis (str) – the axis aligned to the curve tangent, e.g. ‘-y’

• upAxis (str) – the axis aligned to the resolved up vector, e.g. ‘x’

• worldUpVector/wu (None, list, tuple, str, Vector) – if provided on its own, used for Vector mode; if combined with worldUpObject, used for Object Rotation mode; defaults to None

• worldUpObject/wuo (None, str, Transform) – if provided on its own, used for Object Up mode; if combined with worldUpVector, used for Object Rotation mode; defaults to None

setFrontAxis(axis)

Convenience method. Sets frontAxis and inverseFront on the motionPath using a single argument.

Parameters

axis (str) – the axis to set, for example ‘-y’

Returns

setUpAxis(axis)

Convenience method. Sets upAxis and inverseUp on the motionPath using a single argument.

Parameters

axis (str) – the axis to set, for example ‘x’

getFrontAxis()

Note that this doesn’t check whether ‘follow’ is actually active on the node.

Returns

The signed front axis, for example ‘-x’.

Return type

str

getUpAxis()

Note that this doesn’t check whether ‘follow’ is actually active on the node.

Returns

The signed up axis, for example ‘-z’.

Return type

str
