Locking Control Points

AccuPOSE lets you lock control point gizmos to keep specific body parts in place. These locks prevent AI adjustments to the control points when creating a new pose. Unlike manual translation and rotation modes, which may shift slightly with extreme poses, locked points maintain their position and rotation more firmly.

Control Point Locking States

There are three types of locking for control points that configure the possible combinations of translation and rotational constraints.

  • Lock Translation: Lets the control point be locked to its initial position while the rotation can be manually adjusted or AccuPOSE-computed.

    The translation of the hands and feet are locked.
    Training Model, Assassin

    Adjust the hip control point. The translation of the hands and feet are locked.

  • Lock Rotation: Lets he control point be locked to its initial orientation while the translation can be manually adjusted or AccuPOSE-comupted

    The rotation of the chest is locked.
    Training Model: Sword & Shield

    Rotate the hip control point. The rotation of the chest is locked.

  • Lock Translation, Rotation: Both the translation and rotation are locked.

    The translation and rotation of the left hand are locked.
