A few days ago we had a look at Hans Godard’s RBF Solver for Maya. Hans is a Character TD for Naughty Dog, and wanted to make a tool,that has existed in larger faculties, available to everyone.
[pullquote]The RBF solver has N-dimensional Keys and M-dimensional Values.[/pullquote]The RBF Solver (Radial Basis Function Solver) for Maya allow you to interpolate an input in a system defined by poses. Each pose describes a key and a value. This makes the concept of the RBF Solver similar to a set driven key.
Where it differs, is that a regular set driven key has one dimensional keys and values – this means that essentially, each key is a float and its value is a float value.
The RBF Solver has N-dimentional keys, and M-dimensional values. This means that keys can be anything, and values can be anything.
