  • Maya transform controls for simulations

    Where do I go to view Maya transform controls on a Phoenix FD simulation? I can use the manipulator tools to move, scale, and rotate simulations, but I can't find the transform properties in the standard channel box, nor can I create keyframes for any of those properties.

    Is there a way to view transform values? Or is best practice to parent the simulator to something else or group it, then do any transforms/keys on the parent?

    Hey,

    What Phoenix version do you use? The Translate/Rotate/Scale XYZ should be on top of the channel box with 3.10 or a newer nightly build. You need to select the transform node, and not the shape node in order for them to appear - e.g. try selecting the sim through Outliner.

    Cheers!

      Hm not sure why I didn't see them before (or thought I didn't see them haha), but the controls are indeed there! Thanks as always for your help and fast responses, Svetlin!
