Define Animation State

Categories

Crowds > Animation

Description

Calculates the transforms of the actor deformers in global space. This node is used by the Convert Deformer Transforms to Global compound .

Parameters

Reference	Reference to the simulation Point_Cloud
State type	Name of the Animation State

Ports

Inputs

In Name	Name of the simulation Point_Cloud. Should be Self, when the node is used in the Animation_Blending ICE Tree.
Actor Proxy	Proxy name of the actor
State Name	Name of the Animation State
Pose Modifier	Here, you can connect an Ice tree to change the prerecorded animation by changing transformation values for single deformers. You can achieve this by using the Get Self Pose and Set Self Pose nodes. You can add even complex logic such as an IK solving system here.
Params Update	Updates the parameters of an animation state.
Name1	The animation source.
No of loops1	Number of loops in the Animation Source
Offset1	Offset to the start of the loop in the Animation Source

Outputs

Define	Execute
Out Name	Out name of the simulated Point_Cloud
