animLayer

Go to: Attributes.

The TdnAnimLayer node is used to provide fine grain control over animations. Animations are built up using a sequence of animation layers to create the final output. Animation layers are built within this node where each layer contains attributes that are keyed. This node manages the input of this information and passes the data to pairBlend nodes for mixing the layers together. The control of the blending between layers is done by setting weights. Child layers can also have child layers which adds to the flexibility of animation setup.

There are various controls on each layer for operations such as muting, solo and ghosting etc.

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.
childsoloed (csol)	bool	0
or'ed ChildrenSolo
childrenSolo (chsl)	bool	0
solo from children
collapse (coll)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
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.
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
lock (lo)	bool	0
Determines whether the layer is locked
mute (mt)	bool	0
Determines if this layer is to be muted
backgroundWeight (bgwt)	double	0.0
The weight of the background layer(s)
foregroundWeight (fgwt)	double	1.0
The weight of the foreground layer(s)
outMute (omte)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
outRotationAccumulationMode (oram)	enum	0
Rotation Accumulaton mode output
override (ovrd)	bool	0
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
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
parentMute (pmte)	bool	0
Driven by the parent layer. Not to be manipulated by the user
parentWeight (pwth)	double	1.0
The weight of the parent layer
passthrough (pthg)	bool	1
Driven by the system. Not to be manipulated by the user
preferred (pref)	bool	0
If this attribute is set to true, the best layer algorithm will try to set keyframe in this layer first.
rotationAccumulationMode (ram)	enum	0
Layer Accumulaton mode for rotation, can be byComponent or ByLayer
scaleAccumulationMode (sam)	enum	1
Accumulation mode for scaling, scale can be additive or multiply
selected (slct)	bool	0
A selected layer will be show in the timecontrol, graph editor, otherwise all the layer will be show.
siblingSolo (sslo)	bool	0
indicate that a sibling or this is soloed
solo (sl)	bool	0
Determines if this layer is solo'ed. Solo'ing a layer has the effect of muting all sibling layers
weight (wgth)	double	1.0
The weight of this layer, between 0 and 1.
