To add a widget to a rig
µ
Select the rig in the Layers list, then click an Add Widget button in the Rig Inspector.
There are three choices: Add Slider, Add Pop-up, and Add Checkbox.
µ
Drag a parameter row from any Inspector pane to a rig object in the Layers list. Dropping
the parameter row immediately on the rig object creates a slider widget. Pausing briefly
causes a drop menu to appear, allowing you to select the widget type you want to create.
µ
Add a widget from the Animation menu of a parameter. For more information, see
Controlling Rigs from Parameter Animation Menus.
Widgets are represented in four places in the Motion project window:
• In the Layers list, under the parent rig.
• In the Rig Inspector. If the rig has multiple widgets, they all appear here.
• In the HUD.
• In the Widget Inspector.
To reorder widgets in a rig
µ
In the Layers list, drag the widgets into the order you want them to appear.
To rename a widget
µ
Click the widget name in the Layers list and enter a new name.
Note: If the widget has been published, the name change does not carry through to the
published parameter. To synchronize names, rename the widget manually in the Publishing
pane of the Project Inspector, or unpublish and republish the newly named widget.
Moving Widgets Between Rigs
If there are multiple rigs in a project, widgets can be moved easily between the different
rigs.
