Set point on curve deformers |
To create a point on curve locator
- Create a NURBS curve.
- To select a curve point on the curve,
-click the curve and select Curve Point from the marking menu. - Click on the curve at where you would like to create the point on curve locator constraint. The curve point is displayed as a small yellow box.
- Drag along the curve to adjust the point’s position on the curve.
As you drag, you move the curve point. The curve point’s position is defined in terms of the curve’s U parameter.
- Select Create Deformers > Point On Curve >
.
The Point On Curve Options window appears. See Create Deformers > Point On Curve.
- Set the options you want.
- Do one of the following:
- Click Create to create a point on curve locator constraint. The options window closes.
Maya creates a locator at the curve point with the default point on curve options. The curve point is now constrained to the locator.
For each curve, Maya creates a least squares modifier node (default name: leastSquaresModifiern).
- Click Save to save the constraint options. The options window remains open.
- Click Reset to reset to the default constraint options. The options window remains open.
- Click Close to close the Point On Curve Options window.
