- Now let's take a look at how to…do two-dimensional conrols.…Now by two-dimensional control, what I mean is that…we've got these controls here,…and they actually move in two dimensions.…So, these controls that we did here,…they're basically just moving along one axis,…which is basically the Y axis.…But these here, they move along both X and Z.…And this gives us a little bit more interactive control.…So what we're doing is we're having…two values here, drive two values here.…
So let's go ahead and wire up the jaw.…So I'm going to turn off the teeth for now,…because we're not going to be using that just yet.…But I do want to turn on the skeleton layer.…What we want to do is we want to affect this joint here.…This joint basically controls the shape of that jaw.…If we can move this with this control,…we'll have a very nice way to get…some very flexible deformations.…
What I want to do is, I want to take the…X and Y axis of this, and connect it to this.…This is basically moving on X and Y.…But the thing about this joint is that…
