Frame Warp

 
Result of a Frame Warp layout node

The Frame Warp node allows to modify cache frame playback speed for affected Entities.

 

Add node


Frame Warp 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 Warp node parameters

Name Name of the node
Active Whether the node is active or not
Frame Warp The speed ratio at which selected entities are replaying the cache frames
Frame Warp Noise

Amount of noise around the frame warp value (each entity will randomly pick a value between frameWarp - 0.5*frameWarpNoise and frameWarp + 0.5*frameWarpNoise  )

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

Frame Warp 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.

Reference Frame Index

Reference frame from which frames are warped

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
