Detailed Description

Represents an element in the scene graph.

A scene graph is a tree of FbxNode objects. The tree management services are self contained in this class.

Note:
The FBX SDK does not test the validity of the constructed scene graph. It is the responsibility of the caller to make sure that it does not generate cyclic graphs in a node hierarchy.

Besides the tree management, this class defines all the properties required to describe the position of the object in the scene. This information include the basic Translation, Rotation and Scaling properties and the more advanced options for pivots, limits, and IK joints attributes such the stiffness and dampening.

When it is first created, the FbxNode object is "empty" (i.e: it is an object without any graphical representation that only contains the position information). In this state, it can be used to represent parents in the node tree structure but not much more. The normal use of this type of objects is to add them an attribute that will specialize the node (see the "Node Attribute Management" section).

The node attribute is an object in itself and is connected to the the FbxNode. This also means that the same node attribute can be shared among multiple nodes. FbxCamera, FbxLight, FbxMesh, etc... are all node attributes and they all derive from the base class FbxNodeAttribute.

Node Target Management

The FbxNode class allows the client to set a "follow" target node.

This target forces the node to re-align itself so it points to the target. By default, the node uses its X axis as the aiming constraint. A rotation offset can be added to change this behavior. While the default relative orientation to the target (the X axis) is sufficient for the FBX cameras (with a (0,0,0) rotation vector, they are aiming along the X axis), this rotation offset becomes particularly useful with the lights objects because their default orientation (when they have a 0,0,0 rotation vector) is to point along the -Y axis and they need to be adjusted with a 90-degree offset on the Z axis.

The FbxNode class also permits the use of node to define an Up-vector. By default, the node's up vector points towards the Up node. If the Up node is not specified, then the node's Up vector points towards the Y axis. Here too, a rotation offset can be added to change the default behavior.

Of course, these offsets can be applied to anything, not only the cameras and lights.

Note:
Objects in the FBX SDK are always created in the right handed, Y-Up system and need to be adjusted for any other axis system by explicitly convert them (the class FbxAxisSystem can help in that process).

Transformation propagation

This set of functions provides direct access to the transformation propagations settings of the FbxNode.

These settings determine how transformations must be applied when evaluating a node's transformation matrix. The possible values are:

  • eInheritRrSs : Scaling of parent is applied in the child world after the local child rotation.
  • eInheritRSrs : Scaling of parent is applied in the parent world.
  • eInheritRrs : Scaling of parent does not affect the scaling of children.

Pivot Management

Pivots are used to specify translation, rotation and scaling centers in coordinates relative to a node's origin.A node has two pivot contexts defined by the EPivotSet enumeration. The node's animation data can be converted from one pivot context to the other. Each context can be set to be either active or passive (reference). By default the two pivot contexts are passive. They need to be active to be processed during the evaluation of the node final transformation matrix. In its passive state, a pivot context can still be accessed to retrieve its content for any other required purpose. Each pivot context stores values (as FbxVector4) for:
     - Rotation offset (Roff)
     - Rotation pivot (Rp)
     - Pre-rotation (Rpre)
     - Post-rotation (Rpost)
     - Scaling offset (Soff)
     - Scaling pivot (Sp)
     - Geometric translation (Gt)
     - Geometric rotation (Gr)
     - Geometric scaling (Gs)
 
 These values combine in the matrix form to compute the World transform of the node 
 using the formula:

    World = ParentWorld * T * Roff * Rp * Rpre * R * Rpost * Rp-1 * Soff * Sp * S * Sp-1
The geometric transformation (Gt * Gr * Gs) is applied only to the node attribute and after the node transformations. This transformation is not inherited across the node hierarchy.
Note:
Please refer to the FBX SDK programmers guide for more details.

The application of the pivots is performed by calling the method ConvertPivotAnimation(). Typically, you set-up the eDestinationPivot context to match what your system can directly support and leave at (0,0,0) the attributes that are not supported by your system. When the values of a specific attribute in the two contexts (source and destination) are identical, the system considers that no adjustment is required because the attribute is directly supported in the destination world.Below is an example of code that shows how the pivot information could be setup before calling ConvertPivotAnimation().

eWireFrame 

Geometries displayed in wire frame.

eFlatShading 

Solid geometries rendered faceted - using the system light.

The current geometric rotation (the 4th component of the FbxVector4 is always 1).
void SetGeometricScaling ( EPivotSet  pPivotSet,
FbxVector4  pVector 
)

Set geometric scaling The geometric scaling is a local scaling that is applied to a node attribute only.

This scaling is applied to the node attribute after the node transformations. This scaling is not inherited across the node hierarchy.

Parameters:
pPivotSetSpecify which pivot set to modify.
pVectorThe X,Y and Z scale values (the 4th component of the FbxVector4 is ignored).
FbxVector4 GetGeometricScaling ( EPivotSet  pPivotSet) const

Get geometric scaling.

Parameters:
pPivotSetSpecify which pivot set to query.
Returns:
The current geometric scaling (the 4th component of the FbxVector4 is always 1).
void ResetPivotSet ( FbxNode::EPivotSet  pPivotSet)

Reset a pivot set to the default pivot context.

If the node has a geometry, reset the geometry's pivot to the identity matrix.

Parameters:
pPivotSetPivot set to reset.
Remarks:
The default pivot context is a context with all the vector attributes set to (0,0,0) except the GeometricScaling attribute that is reset to (1,1,1).
FBX_DEPRECATED void ConvertPivotAnimation ( EPivotSet  pConversionTarget,
double  pFrameRate,
bool  pKeyReduce = true 
)

Recursively convert the animation data according to pivot settings.

This method is still available for legacy reasons. Its use is limited to the processing of very old data coming from FBX v5 files and should not be used in any other case. Instead call the ConvertPivotAnimationRecursive().

Parameters:
pConversionTargetIf set to EPivotSet::eDestinationPivot, convert animation data from the EPivotSet::eSourcePivot pivot context to the EPivotSet::eDestinationPivot pivot context. Otherwise, the conversion is computed the other way around.
pFrameRateResampling frame rate in frames per second.
pKeyReduceApply or skip key reducing filter.
Remarks:
Due to the intrinsic properties of the mathematical operations performed, sometimes, it is necessary to resample animation curves to maintain the accurate conversion. When this resampling is required, the method will use the pFrameRate value to specify the number of samples. To avoid a huge number of keys in the animation curves, a constant key reducer filter (FbxKFCurveFilterConstantKeyReducer) is automatically applied to all the affected curves to remove as much consecutive keys that have the same value. This filter is private and its settings cannot be changed. It is possible that, after the filtering pass, the animations curves do not contain keys anymore. This is a normal result and does not affect the overall results.
void ConvertPivotAnimationRecursive ( const char *  pAnimStackName,
EPivotSet  pConversionTarget,
double  pFrameRate,
bool  pKeyReduce = true 
)

This version is an improved version of the ConvertPivotAnimation().

It fully supports all the attributes defined in the pivot sets and can process animation data defined on different animation stack.

Parameters:
pAnimStackNameThe name of animation stack on which the conversion will take place. If equals an empty string, the first animation stack will be used. If equals NULL, convert the animation on all the animation stacks at once.
pConversionTargetIf set to EPivotSet::eDestinationPivot, convert animation data from the EPivotSet::eSourcePivot pivot context to the EPivotSet::eDestinationPivot pivot context. Otherwise, the conversion is computed the other way around.
pFrameRateResampling frame rate in frames per second.
pKeyReduceApply or skip key reducing filter.
Remarks:
Due to the intrinsic properties of the mathematical operations performed, sometimes, it is necessary to resample animation curves to maintain the accurate conversion. When this resampling is required, the method will use the pFrameRate value to specify the number of samples. To avoid a huge number of keys in the animation curves, a constant key reducer filter (FbxKFCurveFilterConstantKeyReducer) is automatically applied to all the affected curves to remove as much consecutive keys that have the same value. This filter is private and its settings cannot be changed. It is possible that, after the filtering pass, the animations curves do not contain keys anymore. This is a normal result and does not affect the overall results.
Note:
Altough it is possible to call this method several times with a different AnimStack name, users must be aware that some pivot computation can irreversibly modify the geometric nodes with a cumulative effect of the GeometricTranslation, GeometricRotation and GeometricScaling which will produce undesirable results. It is recommended to call ConvertPivotAnimationRecursive with pAnimStackName = NULL and let the method convert the animation on all the Anim stacks at once. In the case when there are no geometric nodes in the scene tree, specifying the animation stack is safe and somewhat faster.
void ResetPivotSetAndConvertAnimation ( double  pFrameRate = 30.0,
bool  pKeyReduce = false,
bool  pToNodeCenter = true,
bool  pForceResetLimits = false 
)

Reset all the pivot sets to the default pivot context and convert the animation.

Parameters:
pFrameRateResampling frame rate in frames per second.
pKeyReduceApply or skip key reducing filter.
pToNodeCenter,:Reset pivots to node center if true, or retain pivot places if false.
pForceResetLimitsIf true, this flag will reset all the Translation, Rotation and Scaling limits and clears the enabled flags.
Remarks:
The resulting animation will be visually equivalent and all the pivots will be cleared. The conversion is performed on all animation stacks.
Will recursively convert the animation of all the children nodes.
The pForceResetLimits flag has a destructive behavior and should be used only in very limited cases where the values of the limits are not required after the call to this method.
Currently, this function just works under RSrs inherit type if pToNodeCenter is set to false.

This property contains the visibility information of the node.

The assumed behavior of this property is to affect the visibility of the node, all the nodes attributes connected to it as well as all its descendants. This property can be animated.

To access this property do: Visibility.Get(). To set this property do: Visibility.Set(FbxDouble).

Default value is 1.

Remarks:
  • This property holds values ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 where the value 0.0 means a totally invisible object, the value 1.0, a full visible object and anything inbetween, a percentage degree of visibility.
  • Since not all the applications may support a degree of visibility, it is agreed that a value of 0.0 means invisible and anything else means visible.

Definition at line 1254 of file fbxnode.h.

This property contains the visibility inheritance flag that allow applications to modify the Visibility property interpretation.

By default, this value is set to true because it is assumed (as explained in the Visibility property description) that the node visibility is inherited from its parent. In other words, applications should always process the Visibility property of the node and, depending on its value, decide whether or not the node has to be displayed. After this first assessment, check the node VisibilityInheritance flag. If its value is set to false then move to the next object, else use the parent's Visibility value and modify this node display state by performing the logical AND operation between this node Visibility property and its parent's.

To access this property do: VisibilityInheritance.Get(). To set this property do: VisibilityInheritance.Set(FbxBool).

Default value is true.

Remarks:
This property is non-animatable and is not used inside the FBX SDK but it is guaranteed to exist in FBX files with version 7.2 and above.

This property contains the show information of the node.

As opposed to the Visibility property, this one cannot be animated. The assumed behavior of this property is to represent the show/hide state of all the nodes attributes connected to this node only.

To access this property do: Show.Get(). To set this property do: Show.Set(FbxBool).

Default value is true.

Remarks:
  • Because node attributes can be shared by multiple nodes (instances), the FBX SDK provides an utility function FbxScene::SyncShowPropertyForInstance() to propagates the same Show value across all the nodes referencing the node attribute. The applied logic is that as soon as one of these nodes has the Show property set to false, all will be set to false (basically it is an AND operation on all the Show flags).
  • Depending on the support of the Show and Visibility properties that applications will implement, there may be conflicts with these two states. In this case, it is suggested that the Visibility property always overrides the Show.
