Frame Offset

 
Result of a Frame Offset layout node

The Frame Offset node allows to modify the cache frame used for the affected Entities.

 

Add node


Frame Offset node in the Layout Graph Edition panel

Node parameters

Parameters are accessible in the Attribute Editor panel by selecting the node in the Layout Graph Edition panel:


Frame Offset node parameters

Name Name of the node
Active Whether the node is active or not
Frame Offset Number of frames to offset for the affected entities
Frame Offset Noise

Amount of noise around the frame offset value (each entity will randomly pick a value between frameOffset - 0.5*frameOffsetNoise and frameOffset + 0.5*frameOffsetNoise )

Performance might be affected depending on this value. Check the Layout Editor Performances page for more information.

Frame Offset Noise Step

Step value for the noise parameter. For instance, for a noise of 4 and a step of 0.5, noise values will only be -2 / -1.5 / -0.5 / 0 / 0.5 /1.5 /2. Limiting the number of different noise values allows better performances (it needs to load less input frames)

Performance might be affected depending on this value. Check the Layout Editor Performances page for more information.

Random Seed Random seed to use to pick a noise value per entity. Changing this parameter will change the distribution of noise on the entities
