TimeWarp
surface node
Retimes the input to a different time range.
See also: Trail, Cache, TimeShift, TimeBlend
The TimeWarp SOP makes it straight forward to extract a time range from the input and map it to a new timerange in the output. This can be used to select clips of animation or, with the cycle option, generate walk cycles.
Note that if the animation is only defined on integer frame values (for example, a stream of .bgeos read from the File SOP), it may be necessary to first use the TimeBlend SOP to create the interpolation subframes.
Parameters
|
Input Range |
The frame range to extract from the input. Note that this can be fractional. |
|
Output Range |
The frame range to scale the input range to. When the current frame is the first value in the output range, the input will be cooked at the first value in the input range. |
|
Pre Extend |
The rule for evaluating frames that occur before the output range. Hold will clamp to the output range, Extend will linearly extend the input range, and Cycle will repeat the input range. |
|
Post Extend |
The rule for evaluating frames that occur after the output range. Hold will clamp to the output range, Extend will linearly extend the input range, and Cycle will repeat the input range. |
