IkHandle

class cgp_maya_utils.scene.IkHandle(name)

Bases: cgp_maya_utils.scene.Transform

node object that manipulates an ikHandle node

classmethod create(startJoint, endJoint, solverType=None, connections=None, attributeValues=None, name=None, **__)

create an ik handle

Parameters:

• startJoint (str or cgp_maya_utils.scene.Joint) – start joint of the ik handle
• endJoint (str or cgp_maya_utils.scene.Joint) – end joint of the ik handle
• solverType (str) – type of solver of the ik handle - default is cgp_maya_utils.constants.Solver.IK_RP_SOLVER
• connections (list[tuple[str]]) – connections to set on the ikHandle
• attributeValues (dict) – attribute values to set on the ikHandle node
• name (str) – name of the node
