VBScript Example

' The following code illustrates how to find the first envelope operator
' in the ConstructionHistory, 

Set oRoot = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root

' Create an object to act as the skin
Set oSkin = oRoot.AddGeometry("Cylinder","MeshSurface")

' Create a chain to act as the skeleton
Set oPos1 = XSIMath.CreateVector3
oPos1.Set 0, -3, 0

' Effector for second bone
Set oPos2 = XSIMath.CreateVector3
oPos2.Set 0, 3, 0

' Construct skeleton
Set oChain = oRoot.Add3dChain(oPos1, Array(0,0,0))
Set oBone1 = oChain.AddBone(oPos2)

' Apply an envelope to the sphere using the chain as the deformer
