Controllers


  • In setting up a controller for an object in a scene. In this case an animated eyeball:
1) set up your nested layer with the parent spline (controller1) and child spline (controller2)
2) child spline (controller) will parent the animated object; animated object must not be in the nested layer; otherwise it will transform the same way the 
3) right-click child spline and select "wire parameters"; select for your child spline (controller2) to move in z position and then, select for your object to rotate either x, y, or z rotation
4) connecting controller to object and inserting "degtorad" next to the (xyz) positions/rotations





as you can see, the degtorad is applied

Select edges switch to border mode go to edit borders and select "cap" -edges selected -switched to border mode and the "cap" option under edit border fills the gap. Super important when edges are all layered differently, or, this is how the software is reading it. Cap basically fills holes and is the most reliable option when improving the topology of your object.
