🎯 ANGLE MEASUREMENT PLUGINS 🎯

⚑ TRANSFORM YOUR SCENES WITH PRECISION ANGLE TRACKING! ⚑

🌟 WHAT THESE PLUGINS DO FOR YOU: 🌟

βœ… REAL-TIME ANGLE DETECTION - Monitor joint movements instantly!
βœ… SMART TRIGGER SYSTEM - Drive morphs or other stuff from the angle measurements
βœ… SILKY SMOOTH PERFORMANCE - Built-in smoothing eliminates jitter
βœ… DUAL MONITORING CAPABILITY - Track multiple angles simultaneously
βœ… VARIABLE FRAME RATE UPDATING - Adjust for your needs and CPU

πŸš€ COMMON USE CASES:

  • 🦡 Leg Spread Triggers: Hip center + left/right thigh bones
  • πŸ’‹ Mouth Opening: Jaw center + upper/lower lip bones
  • πŸ’ͺ Arm Flexing: Shoulder + elbow + wrist controllers
  • 🀲 Hand Gestures: Wrist + finger bone combinations

πŸ“š HOW TO USE THESE PLUGINS πŸ“š

🎯 ANGLE MEASUREMENT PLUGIN (Single Angle Tracking)

πŸ”§ SETUP:β€’ πŸ“ Add plugin to your Figure atomβ€’ 🎯 Select Center Node (the pivot point)β€’ πŸ“ Choose Node 1 and Node 2 (the angle endpoints)β€’ πŸ“Š Set your Min/Max Angle rangeβ€’ 🎬 Configure trigger actions via "Open Trigger Actions Panel"β€’ βš™οΈ Fine-tune Smoothing and Frame Skip for optimal performance
  • Transition Actions: Continuous, value-driven
  • Start/End Actions: Discrete, threshold-triggered events
if you set your min/max angle range to something like 45Β°-135Β°, the Start Actions would fire once when the measured angle first crosses into that range, and End Actions would fire once when it exits that range. This makes them perfect for triggering discrete events based on angle thresholds rather than continuous adjustments.

🎯🎯 DUAL ANGLE MEASUREMENT PLUGIN (Advanced Multi-Tracking)

πŸ”§ SETUP:β€’ πŸ“ Add plugin to your Figure atomβ€’ πŸ”΄ LEFT SYSTEM: Choose Left Center Node + Left Node 1 & 2β€’ πŸ”΅ RIGHT SYSTEM: Choose Right Center Node + Right Node 1 & 2
β€’ βš–οΈ Select Combination Mode:
  • πŸ”₯ Max - Uses highest angle
  • ❄️ Min - Uses lowest angle
  • πŸ“Š Average - Blends both angles
  • πŸ‘ˆ Left Only - Ignores right side
  • πŸ‘‰ Right Only - Ignores left sideβ€’ πŸŽ›οΈ Set up triggers for Left, Right, or Combined systemsβ€’ 🎨 Customize smoothing and performance settings

πŸ’‘ PRO TIPS:

πŸŽͺ Use "Max" mode for spread detection (legs, arms)
🎭 Use "Average" mode for balanced responses
🎯 Lower frame skip = more responsive (but uses more CPU)
πŸ”„ Higher smoothing = less jittery movement
