| Since | 20.5 |
This component sets up a reverse foot with heel, toe, and tilt controls. It also has an abstract control for controlling the tilt and roll of the foot with a single control.
See rigging a character for an example use of this component.
Parameters ¶
Name
The name to add to the nodes created by this component.
Settings ¶
Ankle Pivot
The position of the ankle control.
Heel Offset
The position of the heel control. You don’t need to have a heel joint before using this component.
Tilt A Offset/Tilt B Offset
The position of the tilt controls. These controls are identical on both sides of the rig, so A and B are determined by how you set up the side roll.
Toe Offset
The placement of the toe. If this component cannot find a toe, one is automatically created and adjusted so that the toe control is at the tip of the foot.
Toe Control Offset
The position of the abstract control that drives the tilt and roll.
Toe Up
The position of the toe up vector.
Tilt
The amount of tilt to apply when using the abstract control.
Roll
The amount of rotation to apply to the roll when using the abstract control.
Invert Tilt
When turned on, inverts the tilt behavior when using the abstract control.
Invert Roll
When turned on, inverts the roll behavior when using the abstract control.
Hide Driven
When turned on, hides the driven IK target.
Ground Plane Offset
The height of the ground plane that the reverse foot controls are projected onto. If the character’s waist is at ground level, this value needs to be adjusted to the level of the character’s feet.
Driven ¶
Segments
Segments are tags that separate each reverse foot. For example, *foot loops over tags L_foot and R_foot. Tags can be set up on skeleton joints using an 
Attribute Adjust Array SOP. See preparing skeletons for rigging for more information.
If segments is empty, the reverse foot logic is run once.
Note
The segments parameter does not take APEX path patterns, for example, the #<tag> function. Instead, specify the tag names directly in this field.
Ankle
The ankle joint, if using segments. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #ankle.
Ball
The ball joint, if using segments. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #ball.
Toe
If no toe is specified, one is automatically created. A toe is needed in order for the reverse foot to work. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #toe.
IK Driven
The IK target of the leg. By default, this parameter is set to #ik_tip, where ik_tip is a tag added by an upstream multi IK rig component (in its Tags tab, tagtarget parameter).
Driver ¶
Ankle Ctrl
The name of the ankle control.
Heel Ctrl
The heel control.
Ball Ctrl
The control for the ball joint.
Ball Rot Ctrl
The rotation control for the ball joint.
Tilt A Ctrl
The tilt control for one side of the foot.
Tilt B Ctrl
The tilt control for the other side of the foot.
Toe Ctrl
The control at the tip of the toe.
Parent ¶
Root
The parent of the reverse foot setup. This parameter accepts APEX path patterns, so you can specify tags in this field, for example, #root.
Tags ¶
Shape ¶
The 
APEX Configure Controls SOP provides more options for changing the look of the controls.
Scale
The scale of the controls.
