Spline Options group
IK Name Sets the name of the IK chain object. This object appears as a set of
blue cross hairs at the end of the chain after you click OK.
Auto Create Spline Automatically creates the spline used for the Spline IK
solver based on the parameters on this dialog. When off, no spline is created
and a spline must be manually created and assigned to the spline IK solver in
order to use the solver. See
Animating with the Spline IK Solver on page 3445
for a description of this procedure. Default=on.
Curve Type Choose the type of curve to serve as the Spline IK control:
■ Bezier Creates a Bezier spline, similar to a spline created with the Create
> Shapes > Line tool. This is the default curve type.
■ NURBS Point Creates a NURBS Point Curve, where all knots (control
nodes) lie on the curve.
■ NURBS CV Creates a NURBS CV Curve, where knots (control nodes) do
not necessarily lie on the curve.
