Root

Root provides the global rig controls, Show and Options access controls, and one Root joint.

Configuration

Root has a fixed structure. In Module Manager, choose Root in Module Bank, or its instance in Scene Modules.

Root · CONFIGURATION · Poseidon theme.

Reference	Purpose
1 · Side	Central module: C only, without mirroring.
2 · Output Color	Root joint color. On a built instance, changes apply immediately.
3 · Design	SHAPE selects the shape; COLOR sets each controller’s color. On a built instance, changes apply immediately.

Placement

The four placers Base → Position → Trajectory → Fly define the placement of the motion controls. Translation, rotation and scale channels are available.

Controls

Controller	Role
Base	First motion level; drives the entire hierarchy.
Position	Intermediate motion level under Base.
Trajectory	Drives Fly, Show, Options and the Root joint.
Fly	Final motion level; does not drive the Root joint.
Show	Display settings host: SHOW separator and locked transforms.
Options	Rig options host: OPTION separator and locked transforms.

Show and Options are access controls to extend: Root does not add functional rig settings to them.

Inputs and outputs

Ports are central (C) and expose the driver and reference matrix channels.

Direction	Port	Role
Input	base	Incoming motion at the module base.
Output	base	Motion of the Base control.
Output	position	Motion of the Position control.
Output	trajectory	Motion of the Trajectory control; also drives the Root joint.
Output	fly	Motion of the Fly control.
Output	options	Frame of the Options access control, under Trajectory.
