pairBlend

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

This is a node for blending two input attributes to produce an output attribute. It has input/output types of rotate and translate so that linear and angular attributes can be driven without unitConversion nodes. setKeyframe, setDrivenKey and the constraint commands understand pairBlend nodes and will automatically create them when needed.

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.

rotInterpolation (ri)	enum	0
Determines if rotation is calculated by linearly interpolating between Euler rotation values, or spherically interplating between quaternion values.
rotateMode (rm)	enum	0
Allows output rotation to be set to only input 1, only input 2, or the blended value
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
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.
