animLayer

Go to: Attributes.

This node is used to blend between one clip to another. Rotations are handled differently than other types of channels. The rotateBlend attribute determines how rotations are handled. There are three different ways to blend rotations: Quaternion Short is the shortest path between the rotations in quaternion space. Quaternion Long takes a longer path between the channels being blended. Linear causes the rotations to be blended like the other channels. Both quaternion blend types use slerp. The other channel types are linearly interpolated with the weight attribute determining how the interpolation progreses. If the weight is 0.0, then the first clip is used. Likewise if the weight is 1.0, then the second clip is used.

The formula used by the linear interpolation is: o clip1 + (clip2 - clip1)*weight.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
blendNodes (bnds)	Message	n/a
The blend nodes for the layer connect into this attribute No data flows through this connection, but you can use it to find all the blend nodes.
childrenLayers (cdly)	Message	n/a
Layers are designed to be hierarchical. The parentLayer attribute of child layers connect into this attribute No data flows through this connection, but you can use it to find all the child layers
parentLayer (play)	Message	n/a
If there is a parent layer for this layer, this attribute will connect to the LayerChild attribute on the parent
mute (mt)	bool	0
Determines if this layer is to be muted
parentMute (pmte)	bool	0
Driven by the parent layer. Not to be manipulated by the user
solo (sl)	bool	0
Determines if this layer is solo'ed. Solo'ing a layer has the effect of muting all sibling layers
childsoloed (csol)	bool	0
or'ed ChildrenSolo
childrenSolo (chsl)	bool	0
solo from children
siblingSolo (sslo)	bool	0
indicate that a sibling or this is soloed
outMute (omte)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
lock (lo)	bool	0
Determines whether the layer is locked
ghost (gh)	bool	0
Determines whether to show ghosts for the layer
ghostColor (ghc)	short	5
Determines color of the layer ghost, as given by a color index table.
preferred (pref)	bool	0
If this attribute is set to true, the best layer algorithm will try to set keyframe in this layer first.
selected (slct)	bool	0
A selected layer will be show in the timecontrol, graph editor, otherwise all the layer will be show.
override (ovrd)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
passthrough (pthg)	bool	1
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
collapse (coll)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
weight (wgth)	double	1.0
The weight of this layer, between 0 and 1.
parentWeight (pwth)	double	1.0
The weight of the parent layer
foregroundWeight (fgwt)	double	1.0
The weight of the foreground layer(s)
backgroundWeight (bgwt)	double	0.0
The weight of the background layer(s)
rotationInterpolateMode (ripm)	enum	0
Interpolation mode for rotation, can be euler or quaternion
scaleInterpolateMode (sipm)	enum	1
Interpolation mode for scaling, scale can be additive or multiply
