Komotion Maya Commands

MEL Command: komotion

• Opens the Komotion UI in the Maya Workspace

Komotion UI

Komotion can be docked and undocked into your Maya Workspace.

We currently recommend using Komotion as an undocked window.

Using Komotion in Maya

Komotion can be used in both Y-Up and Z-Up Axis co-ordinate systems.

Note for Rigging with a Z-Up Axis: For Skeleton Creation in the Komotion UI, Chain Directions will always be performed with a Y-Up perspective in both co-ordinate systems. Therefore, Rigs and Chains may take some time to learn.

Maya Evaluation Mode

Komotion works in all Evaluation modes. Whilst we recommend using Komotion in ‘Parallel’ mode, there are no differences in performance or functionality across any of the modes.
