Plugin News – Updated plugin from Larry Minton

Larry Minton has recompiled his version of the Attachment Controller, which is basically the same as the original, except that it maintains the orientation of the node it is applied to as the control node is rotated.

There is a new checkbox under “Align To Surface” called “Version 1 Compatible”. When you load a file with an existing Attachment2 controller, this checkbox is checked. If you uncheck it, save the file, and load the file, or if you create a new Attachment2 controller, this checkbox is unchecked and deactivated. I found there is a problem with non-uniform scaling on the control node, and unchecking this checkbox handles this scaling properly. However, unchecking the checkbox can also result in a different orientation of the controlled object. So the first thing you should do is go through the nodes using the Attachment2 controller, and uncheck the checkbox. If the rotation of the node changes, either turn the checkbox back on, or adjust the rotation.
