Good tip - however the beauty of the constraint implementation is that although the constraint ops are sequentially numbered in the explorer, they have identical names when you have several ppg's open at once ;/

I had a similar problem with multiple lattice ops on a single object. I had about 8 all doing different things and remembering where each one was in the stack rather than just seeing a sensible/relevant name was a real pain. I renamed all the lattices to match the op names.

One thing about constraint ppg's that has always been really annoying is the inability to rename them so you can know which ppg controls which constraint.

 

Now I have an object which is pose constrained to 3 different objects, between which I animate the Blend Weights and although it helps to be able to select the Constraining object from the ppg in the Explorer, it would be so much easier if I could read which does what after renaming the ppg's.

 

Does someone here know a workaround to do this, or is it just a matter for a feature request mail to Softimage?

 

 

Best regards
