BoneTwistDisperser3D

Inherits SkeletonModifier3D

A node that propagates and disperses the child bone's twist to the parent bones.

Description

This BoneTwistDisperser3D allows for smooth twist interpolation between multiple bones by dispersing the end bone's twist to the parents. This only changes the twist without changing the global position of each joint. This is useful for smoothly twisting bones in combination with CopyTransformModifier3D and IK. Note: If an extracted twist is greater than 180 degrees, flipping occurs. This is similar to ConvertTransformModifier3D.

Properties

bool mutable_bone_axes = true

If true, the solver retrieves the bone axis from the bone pose every frame. If false, the solver retrieves the bone axis from the bone rest and caches it.

int setting_count = 0

The number of settings.

Methods

void clear_settings()

Clears all settings.

int get_disperse_mode(int index) const

Returns whether to use automatic amount assignment or to allow manual assignment.

int get_end_bone(int index) const

Returns the end bone index of the bone chain.

int get_end_bone_direction(int index) const

Returns the tail direction of the end bone of the bone chain when is_end_bone_extended() is true.

String get_end_bone_name(int index) const

Returns the end bone name of the bone chain.

int get_joint_bone(int index, int joint) const

Returns the bone index at joint in the bone chain's joint list.

String get_joint_bone_name(int index, int joint) const

Returns the bone name at joint in the bone chain's joint list.

int get_joint_count(int index) const

Returns the joint count of the bone chain's joint list.

int get_reference_bone(int index) const

Returns the reference bone to extract twist of the setting at index. This bone is either the end of the chain or its parent, depending on is_end_bone_extended().

String get_reference_bone_name(int index) const

Returns the reference bone name to extract twist of the setting at index. This bone is either the end of the chain or its parent, depending on is_end_bone_extended().

int get_root_bone(int index) const

Returns the root bone index of the bone chain.

String get_root_bone_name(int index) const

Returns the root bone name of the bone chain.

Quaternion get_twist_from(int index) const

Returns the rotation to an arbitrary state before twisting for the current bone pose to extract the twist when is_twist_from_rest() is false.

bool is_end_bone_extended(int index) const

Returns true if the end bone is extended to have a tail.

bool is_twist_from_rest(int index) const

Returns true if extracting the twist amount from the difference between the bone rest and the current bone pose.

void set_disperse_mode(int index, int disperse_mode)

Sets whether to use automatic amount assignment or to allow manual assignment.

void set_end_bone(int index, int bone)

Sets the end bone index of the bone chain.

void set_end_bone_direction(int index, int bone_direction)

Sets the end bone tail direction of the bone chain when is_end_bone_extended() is true.

void set_end_bone_name(int index, String bone_name)

Sets the end bone name of the bone chain. Note: The end bone must be a child of the root bone.

void set_extend_end_bone(int index, bool enabled)

If enabled is true, the end bone is extended to have a tail. If enabled is false, get_reference_bone() becomes a parent of the end bone and it uses the vector to the end bone as a twist axis.

void set_root_bone(int index, int bone)

Sets the root bone index of the bone chain.

void set_root_bone_name(int index, String bone_name)

Sets the root bone name of the bone chain.

void set_twist_from_rest(int index, bool enabled)

If enabled is true, it extracts the twist amount from the difference between the bone rest and the current bone pose. If enabled is false, it extracts the twist amount from the difference between get_twist_from() and the current bone pose. See also set_twist_from().

void set_weight_position(int index, float weight_position)

Sets the position at which to divide the segment between joints for weight assignment when get_disperse_mode() is DISPERSE_MODE_WEIGHTED. For example, when weight_position is 0.5, if two bone segments with a length of 1.0 exist between three joints, weights are assigned to each joint from root to end at ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 0.5. Then amounts become 0.25, 0.75, and 1.0 respectively.

Constants

DISPERSE_MODE_EVEN = 0

Enum: DisperseMode

Assign amounts so that they monotonically increase from 0.0 to 1.0, ensuring all weights are equal. For example, with five joints, the amounts would be 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 starting from the root bone.

DISPERSE_MODE_WEIGHTED = 1

Enum: DisperseMode

Assign amounts so that they monotonically increase from 0.0 to 1.0, based on the length of the bones between joint segments. See also set_weight_position().

DISPERSE_MODE_CUSTOM = 2

Enum: DisperseMode

You can assign arbitrary amounts to the joint list. See also set_joint_twist_amount(). When is_end_bone_extended() is false, a child of the reference bone exists solely to determine the twist axis, so its custom amount has absolutely no effect at all.
