v10.5 (2012)
Creates a user motion property. User motions are used to control motion vectors on vertices of an object's geometry. User motions can only be created on vertex clusters. A user motion property stores three floating point values for each vertex of the cluster. When a user motion property is applied to an object, the motion blur is no longer computed and instead uses the motion data from this property.
oReturn = CreateUserMotion( [InputObjs], [PropertyName], PropPresetObj ); |
Returns an XSICollection of the newly created properties.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| InputObjs | String |
List of objects or complete point clusters Default Value: Current selection |
| PropertyName | String |
Name of the user motion property Default Value: "UserMotion" |
| PropPresetObj | Preset object |
User motion property preset Default Value: "User Motion Property" preset |
/*
This JScript example illustrates how to set the user motion vectors on
the UserMotion Cluster Property with ICE. The motion vectors of a static
cylinder are set by the motion of an animated cylinder.
