Droid Game Rig: Collision to Animation test

An early test for a droid game rig. The setup includes a 'breakable' mode where the the rig's 'free ctrls' can move individual body parts freely in world space. On top of that a system was needed that would allow us to simulate collisions for quick animations down onto the controls without weighing down the scene. Once done the simulation can be baked to the controls so that we could continue to animate the controls for cleanup and finessing.

Rotation Select Axis

Handy little tool to select individual rotation axis handle quicker. Good also for when manipulator gets in the way of select correct axis, and when in gimbal lock.

Rotation Select Axis from Luiz Philippe Moreira on Vimeo.

Its a short one, so just quicker to copy and paste :)

Here's the code

import maya.cmds as cmds
from functools import partial

def rotateContext(axis, *args):
 cmds.manipRotateContext( 'Rotate', e=True, ah=axis)
 
if cmds.window("rotateContextUI", exists=True):
 cmds.deleteUI("rotateContextUI")
 
win = cmds.window("rotateContextUI", title="Rotate Axis UI", w=150, sizeable=False)
cmds.rowColumnLayout(nc=3, columnAttach=[(1,"both", 2), (3, "both", 2)])

cmds.button("X", w=30, bgc=[1,0,0], c=partial(rotateContext, 0))
cmds.button("Y", w=30, bgc=[0,1,0], c=partial(rotateContext, 1))
cmds.button("Z", w=30, bgc=[0,0,1], c=partial(rotateContext, 2))

cmds.showWindow(win)
