Controllers are used to move objects in SHAPE. The most common use of controllers is to track stage automation.
There are 5 types of controllers in SHAPE:
- Translation
- Rotation
- Spline
- Visibility
- 6D
Controllers can be added from Create-> Controller
Controllers are represented by light blue lines in shape.
Controllers utilise the parenting structure to decide which objects they control. Much like in the real world, we create a track and then place an object on the track. In SHAPE we add a Controller and then child an object to it.
Splines are a special case as we need to child the spline, and the object we wish to move.
| NOTE: 6D Controllers are used for object tracking systems such as BlackTrax. If you need more information on this please reach out |
