moving and snapping your pivot's translation and rotation in Maya

[@wk2414]

I’ve been using Maya for ages and didn’t know this, very helpful!

This pivot prientation tool has been developing up to the recent years, so don't be too hard on yourself.

@@Gichanasa Idk, I've been using it for years. At least since college in like 2015ish. Still, don't be hard on yourself lol

Can these tips, such as the one at 6:30, possible to be done on control curves? I am working on a rig and some of the control curves have in-accurate rotation axis because I needed to freeze their transformations.

I haven't actually ever needed to do this, so I wasn't sure (I'm not a rigger/animator). But I looked into it, and if I understand the question correctly, the following link should help (click "go to solution" and watch the video) forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-animation-and-rigging/custom-pivot-point-for-nurbs-curve-control/m-p/11715488#M28432
