The Pose DNA Controls node
When to use it
Poses a DNA's mesh from a sparse set of GUI control values - only the ones you have moved off zero - evaluated through the DNA's own RigLogic rig: GUI-to-raw mapping, corrective and machine-learned behaviour, joints, blendshapes and animated maps, exactly as the rig would compute them, then publishes the posed mesh.
How to use it
- 1
Wire a DNA in
- 2
Open the details panel and move sliders
Releasing one (or pressing Enter) reposes; dragging does not, so a fast pose stays fast.
- 3
Mesh is the result; Bones and Pose Summary (in the details panel) say what actually moved
Pins
| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
DNA |
DNA | The DNA to pose. Passes through untouched - the values here are a preview, never written back to the DNA itself. |
| Pin | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Mesh |
Mesh | The DNA's mesh at this LOD with the stored control values applied: blendshapes summed then skinned by the evaluated joints. Vertex-identical to DNA To Mesh at the same LOD. |
Bones |
Bone Selection | The joints these control values actually move. |
Settings
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Control Values |
List of MMDNAGUI Control Value | Sparse: only controls the user has moved off zero. Writable by the in-app agent but hidden from the ordinary properties rows; the board above is its real editor. Stays in undo and in presets - the values are the pose. |
LOD Index |
Whole number | Which LOD to pose. 0 is the densest. Also the rig's own LOD argument, so a lower LOD both simplifies the mesh and mutes any correctives that do not exist below their authored LOD. |
