Nice! These types of animation rig deformers is where Maya really shines.

In the Outliner, if you select the first locator and the first control you want to parent constraint and actually create the constraint, in order to do the rest, you just can press the right key on the keyboard (that will select the next node of both of them) and press "G" key in order to repeat the constraint command. An voilà!, you have the job done in a matter of seconds!

Thank you, actually i'm pretty familiar with the repeat hotkey "g" as an intensive Maya user (and instructor), many times i found myself looking for script/ line of code on the internet to automate some tedious tasks like these where there no nice shortcut around it, such as create joint on selected verts (i have a script for that ). Probably my punishment for not learning mel/python...

So in typical Autodesk/Maya fashion, there's a new cool thing they added but there's still a ton of work and tedium left to to the user to make it even remotely practical or applicable. I'm happy for this addition, but good grief, like half of this video would have been unnecessary if they'd just also add improvements to parenting and constraints, which has been long overdue since at least 2018.

We've been doing sticky controls that way for years and years, it's nothing new. The only addition here is that you don't have to resort to script trickery to stack 2 skinClusters on a mesh, which would also break the paint weight tool back then. This is a very welcome update. As for the bindPreMatrix connection, it's pretty easy to script in python.

@@TiamatSorakaSolotop The fact that it's been that way for years with no updates to further accommodate it honestly just supports my initial statement lol. And now here's this new feature that is effectively useless without that additional process, so now would be the perfect time to update the constraint nodes for exactly that reason. I work professionally in Maya. I know how simple it is to script a quick solution like that. It just shouldn't have to be this way. What's more, would this new skin cluster change be compatible with ngSkinTools? Because that add-on has literally everything Maya's skinning tools have sorely needed for years. I'm happy to see new useful features like this added, but it just seems so obnoxiously common for them to still leave out any fundamental quality of life updates we all rely on add-ons and scripts to fill in for.

Matrices are extremely lightweight (kind of the whole point of them). If you were crashing, is it possible it's because you were creating a dependency loop with them in your implementation?

It seems the Maya ascii file of the interactive tutorial is corrupted. Some characters are not properly encoded, I had to convert the Maya ascii file to ANSI. Some python module does not seem to load properly as well, before opening the file executing "import moverlay" in the python command line before opening the file fixed the issue. Edit 2023/10/04: this might be due to the fact my OS (Windows) language **and** Region settings is set to Japanese.

I was having trouble connecting inverseMatrix to the bindPreMatrix. It would break the rotation of the control and was not undoable. I looked at your example head and it looks like worldInverseMatrix is what you had connected to the 2nd skinCluster. I tried that in my test ant it seems to work. I'm not sure if I am missing something. But thank you very much for this tutorial, the implications of this are immensely useful!!

After testing out some more, I think this doesn't work in all situations. I have a few joints in the middle of the character, I want them to follow the squash and stretch. But when I create the UV pins with the mesh and joints selected, the uvPin locators are created in undesirable locations on the mesh. I imagine this is because the pivots aren't close to the surface, so the uvPin is looking for the easiest spot to hook on to. I also tried making a uvPin on a more desirable area on the mesh and hooked that up with everything instead. But when it came time to connect the inverseMatrix (I also tried woldInverseMatrix), the mesh would deform. If you had a way to get around this that would be incredible. Thanks again for the video.
