ExoTools Shows How Easy Animating Rolling Dice is Using Their ExoSwitch Constraint System for Maya.

Constraints are a fantastic tool for rigging and animations. I always mention that any animation tool worth anything will have some semblance of a constraint system. How else can you handle picking up props, changing spaces and rolling irregularly shaped objects, like a cube or rolling dice for instance? If you are working with Autodesk Maya, you can quickly create a system, but some tools can help in that regard. One of them is the ExoSwitch Constraint from ExoTools.

ExoSwitch is an easy to use multi-directional constraint system for Maya. Designed to handle tasks like dynamic posing, animation, and interactive driver switching, ExoSwitch is adjustable by way of a masking system and can work with split transformation drivers and live offsets. The best part is that it lives as a native constraint within Maya.

Watch how simple it is to create animation for a rolling dice using the ExoSwitch system. ExoSwitch can display relevant information on its state right in the viewport. Handy!
