Freeze transformations or other action

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 20:35:32 GMT

Hi,

I have a noob question.

I have created a quick rig with skeleton and controllers.

After the quick rig is created all controlls have values on x,y,z

Is it possible to zero these controls in any way without the rig to "break".

Or is it another better way to to this without freezing transforms and get similar results?

Hi!

A) Use Freeze Transformations (what's wrong with this?), or

B) group the controller and move the group.

@mspeer is right. Grouping the controller and moving it is the ideal way to re position controllers.

I tried grouping the controller and moving it but the controller wont move or rotate with its parent.

The image shows how the object looks in maya before grouping

When i freeze transforms on the controller, the controls x,y,z is zeroed,

but when i move the controller just one mm, the values from before i froze pops back up on the object.

I tried grouping the controller and moving it but the controller wont move or rotate with its parent.

Ohh, you were referring to Maya Quick Rig,,, mybad, Its a HIK rig so you can't modify the controllers because they may seem like controllers but actually they are effecters. i'm afraid you can't modify those as you like. I tried that before too.
