Location Type or Attribute Type Description
xform.<group> The xform attribute contains a sub-group
for every transform in the order these
transforms are applied. A sub-group with
the name interactive contains the
transform used for manipulation in the
Viewer.
An object can have only one interactive
group. If another transform is added (using
a Transform3D node for example), the
previous interactive group automatically
gets renamed.
The group can be any arbitrary name, but
uses the conventions: occurrence of
’interactive’ to receive transformations for
the Viewer, ’constraintN’ for any number of
constraints, or ’groupN’ for the default
group of regular transforms created by
Transform3D nodes.
This supports an arbitrary list of transform
commands, similar to RScale and Rtranslate
in PRMan.
The name prefix (translate, rotate, scale,
matrix, origin) is how Katana determines
how to use each xform child attribute it
finds.
Note: Transform commands can be
grouped together in sub-groups, or they
can be declared without sub-groups, for
example xform.rotateX instead of
xform.<group>.rotateX.
xform.<group>.translate
(not inherited)
double3 Translation on the xyz axes.
