TfmNode

The Transformation Node represents a transformation (position, rotation and scale) in 3D space. It can be connected to almost all nodes that have a representation in 3D space.

It can also be used to establish parent-child relationships in a hirarchical transformation structure, where child nodes are transformed relative to their parents

TfmNode Node

Reference

The following properties can be configured for this node:

Property Type Description
parent - parent transformation node
position (local transformation) position x y z
rotation (local transformation) rotation x y z
scale (local transformation) scale x y z
Inlet Type Description
properties properties properties | use message [set <propertyPath> <value(s)>] (without node/<nodeName> at the beginning) to set internal properties
send message send direct message to anim object: 'bang' for forced transformation bang. OR 'getlist' <get...> items for dump out current values (needs a bang). Possible <get...> items: getposition, getquat, getscale, getworldpos, getworldquat, getworldscale, gettransform, getinvtransform, getworldtransform
Outlet Type Description
dump message dump of 'anim' , output of the requested <get...> values and transformation bang from the above inlet. also outputs 'markerlist' if markers are received.
