VBScript Example

' Effector for first bone
set oEff1 = XSIMath.CreateVector3()
oEff1.x = 3
oEff1.y = 3
oEff1.z = 3

' Effector for second bone
set oEff2 = XSIMath.CreateVector3()
oEff2.x = 6
oEff2.y = 0
oEff2.z = 0

' Construct skeleton
set oRoot = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root
set oChain = oRoot.Add3dChain()
set oBone1 = oChain.AddBone(oEff1)
set oBone2 = oChain.AddBone(oEff2)
