Hello again Alok and many thanks for the compounds. getParamData does basically what I wanted for scalars. I tried my luck, plugging a vector, but ended up decomposing, get, and the composing the vector back :) This will be great for me to store many frames vectors into one attribute automatically. I had a crash first time I used, but that was it. If one puts an "Add" with "Current Time" it basically gets relative time! :) Example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143766132/Forums/SI-MailingList/Param.scn
This is a bit OT but I used something alike in LightWave motion to modulate a motion path or give it a comet shape blur effect, since the changes are evaluated per frame for the neighbor frames: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143766132/Forums/SI-MailingList/comet_blur.gif https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/143766132/Infographics/Wrap.gif So much to try so little time :) Cheers On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 7:18 AM, Alok Gandhi <[email protected]>wrote: > Here are two nodes (soft 2013 and up, windows 64bit): > > 1. getCurveInfo - Gives you all the information like isAnimated, number of > keys, key and frame value. > 2. getParamData - Needs a param and array of frames to get values at, > returns array of values at provided array of frames. > > download from: > https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxtagv3d2bauw6h/curveDataNodes.7z > > and here is a screen cap of usage: > > http://imgur.com/K585G7J > > > On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 11:21 PM, pedro santos <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Thank you. >> Looking forward to check Alok's node.
