Spindle Wheel
Overview
An overview of the spindle is linked here.
The Spindle + Wheel has the same functionality as the Spindle except it allows you to also rotate the pitch of the selected object. This is achieved by twisting the chosen dominate hand/controller which will in turn rotate the pitch of the object.
Manipulations allowed
- Moving the object while holding
- Rotating the yaw and roll of the object by rotating the hands relative to eachother
- By changing the distance between the controllers while holding the object you can scale and change the size of the object.
- Rotate an objects pitch by twisting your dominate hand.

Uses same prefab as Spindle with customization. Parameters, code, and sample scenes can be found here.
