Teleport
This node can be used to visually clean up a scene by hiding the lines between nodes. In order to attach more than
one node to the Teleport node, click Add > Add Pass Input. Then, in the Node Graph, you can drag a line from any
node to connect it. When inputs are not shown, each connected node will appear on the Teleport node as an output
arrow.
Control (UI) Default Value Function
name output Sets the name for each input.
Show inputs disabled When enabled, the connector between this node and the inputs
are not shown
TimeOffset
In Katana the current time used in parameter evaluation is a property that flows up the graph and is referenced as a
frame in parameter expression. This node modifies that time in upstream nodes. Common uses are to offset or lock
data loaded from an upstream input.
Control (UI) Default Value Function
inputFrame 1 Sets the value of frame in input nodes. This can be an
expression, for example frame + 10.
Transform3D
Adds transform attributes to Scene Graph locations allowing you to control 3D objects in the Viewer.
NOTE: Manipulates the xform attribute and is used by the AttributeEditor node.
