Activate Constraint with Skinned Offsets (Menu option)
This functionality is for advanced users.
A new menu option is added in the inspector of the Parent constraint component
(and VRC Parent Constraint component if
Pressing this menu option will behave similarly to the Activate button on the Parent constraint, but calculates different offsets: These offsets will make the Parent constraint behave more like weight painting/mesh skinning.
This is the same algorithm that is used by the Skinned Mesh Constraint Builder component. If you are already using this component, you do not need to use this.
