Constraint Switches

• Drive handoffs with one centralized value, not two

  • Better scope, limits overlap
  • Creates a single “spaceâ€?
  • Enforces exclusivity

• Constraint switch formula

  • One goes up as the other goes down
    • Weight1 = value from 0 (off) to 1 (on)
    • Weight2 = 1 – weight1
  • Use ease curves for blending
  • Use step curves to force snaps
  • Expressions, drivers, or math nodes all OK

• Tips:

  • Always put control parameter in an accessible place
  • Excellent candidate for scripting!
