more than one constraint to an object. When this is done, the constraints are placed in a
stack in order of priority and the priority can be changed by moving a constraint up or
down in the stack (Figure 14.6).
14.3 Transform Constraints
Here are a list of the transform constraints available in Blender and their functions:
•
Copy Location.
Forces the object with the constraint added to take up the
location of the target object.
•
Copy Rotation.
Forces the object with the constraint added to copy the rota-
tion of the target object. When the target rotates, the object rotates.
•
Copy Scale.
Forces the object with the constraint added to copy the scale of
the target object
•
Copy Transforms.
Similar to the copy location constraint.
•
Limit Distance.
Constrains the object to remain within a set distance from the
target object. The distance is a spherical field surrounding the target and the
object is constrained within or outside the spherical field.
•
Limit Location.
Constrains the object's location between a minimum and
maximum distance on a specific axis. The distance is relative to either the
world center or a parented object.
