Hello,
I have spend so many hours to figure out why i can blend skeleton poses using an abstract control, but if i use a joint as control it does not drive the blend.
I have attached a simple scene, maybe someone can give me an hint.
Thanks alot,
C.

Hi, it actually fairly straight forward to set this up. You simply convert the output t r or s to a float and use one of the components of the vector to drive the blends.

Here is an example.

I made it work I've attached a file. Also check the william_harley skeleton_blend_setup_apex.hip file [www.sidefx.com] it is the more correct way to do skeleton blends specially if you have rotational values on your joints. And I would advise to add Guides.skel as most of the autorig nodes are now made to work with this setup and make your blend shape setup work with guides.skel aswell
