pairBlend

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

The pairBlend node was designed with the goal of allowing constraints and animation to be blended. The setKeyframe command and constraint commands understand the pairBlend node and will automatically create it when the user tries to keyframe a constrained object, or vice versa.

The pairBlend supports translate and rotate inputs and outputs.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
currentDriver (c)	enum	0
Index of the current input driver
inTranslate1 (it1)	double3
Input translation 1
inTranslateX1 (itx1) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate x 1
inTranslateY1 (ity1) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate y 1
inTranslateZ1 (itz1) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate z 1
inRotate1 (ir1)	double3
Input rotation 1
inRotateX1 (irx1) angle (double) 0.0deg Input rotate x 1
inRotateY1 (iry1) angle (double) 0.0deg Input rotate y 1
inRotateZ1 (irz1) angle (double) 0.0deg Input rotate z 1
inTranslate2 (it2)	double3
Input translation 2
inTranslateX2 (itx2) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate x 2
inTranslateY2 (ity2) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate y 2
inTranslateZ2 (itz2) distance (double) 0.0cm Input translate z 2
inRotate2 (ir2)	double3

weight (w)	double	1.0
Weight between inputs 1 and 2. Weight 0 = all input 1; weight 1 = all input 2; weight 1.5 = half of each.
rotateOrder (ro)	enum	0
This attribute lets us know the order in which rx, ry, and rz are applied from the driven object so that we can output rotation values appropriately.
translateXMode (txm)	enum	0
Allows output translate x to be set to only input 1, only input 2, or the blended value
translateYMode (tym)	enum	0
Allows output translate y to be set to only input 1, only input 2, or the blended value
translateZMode (tzm)	enum	0
Allows output translate z to be set to only input 1, only input 2, or the blended value
rotateMode (rm)	enum	0
Allows output rotation to be set to only input 1, only input 2, or the blended value
rotInterpolation (ri)	enum	0
Determines if rotation is calculated by linearly interpolating between Euler rotation values, or spherically interplating between quaternion values.
outTranslate (ot)	double3
Output translation
outTranslateX (otx) distance (double) 0.0cm Output translate x
outTranslateY (oty) distance (double) 0.0cm Output translate y
outTranslateZ (otz) distance (double) 0.0cm Output translate z
outRotate (or)	double3
Output rotation
outRotateX (orx) angle (double) 0.0deg Output rotate x
outRotateY (ory) angle (double) 0.0deg Output rotate y
outRotateZ (orz) angle (double) 0.0deg Output rotate z
