TransferShapeAnimationAcrossGenOp

Introduced

5.0

Description

Transfers the shape animation from the specified object to the output geometry connected to the specified generator operator. This command takes care of transferring all the shape animation information contained in the mixer to the destination object.

Note: The shapekey cluster properties should have been transferred previously using TransferClusterPropertiesAcrossGenOp.

Scripting Syntax

TransferShapeAnimationAcrossGenOp( Operator, Object )

Parameters

Examples

/*
   This example transfers shape animation across generator operators.
