Geometry Attribute Constraint

The Geometry Attribute constraint transforms an object or bone according to a target object’s sampled geometry attribute data. This allows motion and deformation to be driven directly by procedural geometry outputs, such as positions or orientations from Geometry Nodes.

Opciones

Geometry Attribute constraint.

Objetivo

The target object to retrieve geometry from. The supported geometry types are Mesh, Curve, Point Cloud, and Instance.

Offset with Target Transform

Apply the target object’s world transform on top of the attribute’s transform.

Attribute Name

Name of the sampled attribute. The default attribute name is position.

Tipo de datos

Data type of the sampled attribute. The type will determine which components will be used for transforming the constraint object.

Vector:

Vector data type, affects the location.

Cuaternio:

Quaternion data type, affects the rotation.

Matriz de 4x4:

4x4 Matrix data type, affects the entire transform. Location, Rotation, and Scale components can be toggled separately, but will remove matrix shearing.

Dominio

Domain of the sampled attribute.

Punto (o Apuntar):

Point domain from a Mesh, Curve, or Point Cloud.

Borde:

Edge domain from a Mesh.

Cara:

Face domain from a Mesh.

Esquina de cara:

Face Corner domain from a Mesh.

Curva:

Spline domain from a Curve.

Instancia:

Instance domain from an Instance.

Sample Index

Index of the geometry element to sample the attribute. Index values are clamped to what is present on the target geometry.

Modo de mezcla

Specify how the copied and existing transformations are combined.

Reemplazar:

Replace the original transformation with the transform from the attribute.

Antes de la original (completa):

Apply copied transformation before original, using simple matrix multiplication as if the constraint target is a parent in Full Inherit Scale mode. Will create shear when combining rotation and non-uniform scale.

Antes de la original (canales divididos):

Apply copied transformation before original, handling location, rotation and scale separately, similar to a sequence of three Copy constraints.

After Original Full:

Apply copied transformation after original, using simple matrix multiplication as if the constraint target is a child in Full Inherit Scale mode. Will create shear when combining rotation and non-uniform scale.

After Original (Split Channels):

Apply copied transformation after original, handling location, rotation and scale separately, similar to a sequence of three Copy constraints.

Influencia

How strongly the constraint affects the owner.
