time

Go to: Attributes.

This is the global frame time node. It manages the flow of time during an animation. There is one time node per graph and the graph gets all of its time information from its time node.

enableTimewarp, outTime, timecodeMayaStart, timecodeProductionStart, timewarpIn, timewarpIn_Hidden, timewarpIn_Inmap, timewarpIn_InmapFrom, timewarpIn_InmapTo, timewarpIn_Outmap, timewarpIn_OutmapFrom, timewarpIn_OutmapTo, timewarpIn_Raw, unwarpedTime

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
outTime (o)	time	0film
Output time. The current global (warped) frame time. Typically this is the plug to which downstream animation DG nodes will be connected. This is the plug to which animCurveTxxx nodes have an implicit connection if their input is unconnected.
unwarpedTime (unw)	time	0film
Output time. The current global unwarped frame time. This is the time shown on the timeline and elsewhere in the UI, and the time that the 'currentTime' command refers to.
timewarpIn (twi)	compound	n/a
Input from timewarp. To create a timewarp, connect a DG node (typically the 'apply' attribute of an animCurveTT) to this plug.
timewarpIn_Hidden (twih) function NULL For Internal Use Only Function being applied at this attribute with the mappings cached for efficiency
timewarpIn_Raw (twir) function NULL For Internal Use Only Actual function being applied at this attribute
timewarpIn_Inmap (twii) compound n/a For Internal Use Only Mapping of node's function input parameters to function data input parameters timewarpIn_InmapTo (twiit) short 0 For Internal Use Only Node's internal function input parameter index timewarpIn_InmapFrom (twiif) short 0 For Internal Use Only Function data input parameter index
timewarpIn_Outmap (twio) compound n/a For Internal Use Only Mapping of node's function output parameters to function data output parameters timewarpIn_OutmapTo (twiot) short 0 For Internal Use Only Node's internal function output parameter index timewarpIn_OutmapFrom (twiof) short 0 For Internal Use Only Function data output parameter index
enableTimewarp (etw)	bool	false
Enable the timewarp.
timecodeProductionStart (tps)	time	0film
This is where the scene time code starts in production. For example, the Maya scene represents a short clip in the overall production, starting at time 0h:30min:0s and ending at 0h:30min:20s - the production start time refers to the 0h:30min:0s time.
timecodeMayaStart (tms)	time	0film
This is the Maya scene time that corresponds to the timecodeProductionStart time. For example, the Maya scene represents a short clip in the overall production, starting at time 0h:30min:0s and ending at 0h:30min:20s, this attribute tells us at what time in this Maya scene the above clip starts.
