Parent_Constraint : Matrix3Controller

The Parent_Constraint overrides the behaviour from the normal parenting, so you can have a node that is parented to an object, but behaves as if it were parented to a different one. It can also have several nodes as parents with different weights for how much those objects affect the parenting.

The controller used for local transformations.
