Detailed Description

The animation layer is a collection of animation curve nodes.

Its purpose is to store a variable number of FbxAnimCurveNode. The class provides different states flags (bool properties), an animatable weight, and the blending mode flag to indicate how the data on this layer is interacting with the data of the other layers during the evaluation.

BlendMode bypass functions.

This section provides methods to bypass the current layer blend mode by data type.When the state is true, the evaluators that are processing the layer will need to consider that, for the given data type, the blend mode is forced to be Overwrite. If the state is left to its default false value, then the layer blend mode applies.
Remarks:
This section only supports the basic types defined in the fbxtypes.h header file.

void SetBlendModeBypass (EFbxType pType, bool pState)
 Set the bypass flag for the given data type.
bool GetBlendModeBypass (EFbxType pType)
 Get the current state of the bypass flag for the given data type.

CurveNode Management

FbxAnimCurveNodeCreateCurveNode (FbxProperty &pProperty)
 Create a FbxAnimCurveNode based on the property data type.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum EBlendMode
Enumerator:
eBlendAdditive 
eBlendOverride 

The layer "adds" its animation to layers that precede it in the stack and affect the same attributes.

eBlendOverridePassthrough 

The layer "overrides" the animation of any layer that shares the same attributes and precedes it in the stack.

This mode is like the eOverride but the Weight value influence how much animation from the preceding layers is allowed to pass-through. When using this mode with a Weight of 100.0, this layer is completely opaque and it masks any animation from the preceding layers for the same attribute. If the Weight is 50.0, half of this layer animation is mixed with half of the animation of the preceding layers for the same attribute.

Definition at line 138 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

Enumerator:
eRotationByLayer 
eRotationByChannel 

Rotation values are weighted per layer and the result rotation curves are calculated using concatenated quaternion values.

Rotation values are weighted per component and the result rotation curves are calculated by adding each independent Euler XYZ value.

Definition at line 153 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

Enumerator:
eScaleMultiply 
eScaleAdditive 

Independent XYZ scale values per layer are calculated using the layer weight value as an exponent, and result scale curves are calculated by multiplying each independent XYZ scale value.

Result scale curves are calculated by adding each independent XYZ value.

Member Function Documentation

void Reset ( )

Reset this object properties to their default value.

void SetBlendModeBypass ( EFbxType  pType,
bool  pState 
)

Set the bypass flag for the given data type.

Parameters:
pTypeThe fbxType identifier.
pStateThe new state of the bypass flag.
Remarks:
If pType is eFbxTypeCount, then pState is applied to all the data types.
bool GetBlendModeBypass ( EFbxType  pType)

Get the current state of the bypass flag for the given data type.

Parameters:
pTypeThe fbxType identifier.
Returns:
The current state of the flag for a valid pType value and false in any other case.
FbxAnimCurveNode* CreateCurveNode ( FbxProperty pProperty)

Create a FbxAnimCurveNode based on the property data type.

Parameters:
pPropertyThe property that the created FbxAnimCurveNode will be connected to.
Returns:
Pointer to the created FbxAnimCurveNode, or NULL if an error occurred.
Remarks:
This function will fail if the property FbxPropertyAttr::eAnimatable flag is not set.
This function sets the eAnimated flag of the property.
The newly created FbxAnimCurveNode is automatically connected to both this object and the property.
virtual void ConstructProperties ( bool  pForceSet) [protected, virtual]

Optional property constructor override, automatically called by default constructor.

Parameters:
pForceSetIf the property value must be set regardless of default value.
Remarks:
If your object have properties, they must be initialized in this function.

Reimplemented from FbxObject.

Member Data Documentation

This property stores the weight factor.

The weight factor is the percentage of influence this layer has during the evaluation.

Default value is 100.0

Definition at line 47 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the mute state.

The mute state indicates that this layer should be excluded from the evaluation.

Default value is false

Definition at line 54 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the solo state.

The solo state indicates that this layer is the only one that should be processed during the evaluation.

Default value is false

Definition at line 62 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the lock state.

The lock state indicates that this layer has been "locked" from editing operations and should no longer receive keyframes.

Default value is false

Definition at line 70 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the display color.

This color can be used by applications if they display a graphical representation of the layer. The FBX SDK does not use it but guarantees that the value is saved to the FBX file and retrieved from it.

Default value is (0.8, 0.8, 0.8)

Definition at line 79 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the blend mode.

The blend mode is used to specify how this layer influences the animation evaluation. See the BlendMode enumeration for the description of the modes.

Default value is eModeAdditive

Definition at line 87 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the rotation accumulation mode.

This option indicates how the rotation curves on this layer combine with any preceding layers that share the same attributes. See the RotationAccumulationMode enumeration for the description of the modes.

Default value is eRotationByLayer

Definition at line 96 of file fbxanimlayer.h.

This property stores the scale accumulation mode.

This option indicates how the scale curves on this layer combine with any preceding layers that share the same attributes. See the ScaleAccumulationMode enumeration for the description of the modes.

Default value is eScaleMultiply

Definition at line 105 of file fbxanimlayer.h.
