class Rig(description, side=None)

side_left = ‘L’

side_right = ‘R’

side_center = ‘C’

set_control_shape(shape_name)

Sets the look of the controls, based on predifined names.

set_sub_control_shape(shape_name)

Sets the look of the curve for the sub controls.

set_control_color(color)

Set the color of the control based on an integer value.

set_sub_control_color(color)

set_sub_control_size(float_value)

set_control_parent(parent_transform)

Sets the parent of the control group for this rig. This usually should get run after create.

set_setup_parent(parent_transform)

set_control_offset_axis(axis_letter)

set_sub_visibility(bool_value)

This controls wether sub controls are visible by default after building the rig.

Parameters:bool_value (bool) –

get_sub_control_entries(title)
