transform (property)
Usage
member(whichCastmember).node(whichNode).transform
member(whichCastmember).node(whichNode).transform.transform\
Property
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).bonesPlayer.\
bone[boneID].transform
member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).bonesPlayer.\
bone[boneID].transform.transformProperty
Description
3D property and command; allows you to get or set the transform associated with a particular
node or a specific bone within a model using the
bonesPlayer modifier. As a command,
transform provides access to the various commands and properties of the transform object. A
node can be a camera, group, light or model object.
For node objects, this property defaults to the identity transform. A node’s transform defines the
position, rotation and scale of the node relative to is parent object. If a node’s parent is the World
group object, then the
transform property of the node has the same value as is returned by the
getWorldTransform() command.
