Houdini 22.0 Nodes APEX nodes

graph::AddTime

Adds a time or frame input to a rig graph.

On this page
Since 22.0

Adds a time_input (or frame_input when frame is on) property to the rig, letting you feed time into the rig through an input of your own name. The input is a float so subframe values are preserved.

A rig can have only one time and one frame input. If one already exists, a new one won’t be created.

Inputs

*graph: ApexGraphHandle

The graph to add the time/frame input to.

name: String

The name of the promoted time/frame input. Defaults to time.

frame: Bool

When on, sets the input to frame_input (as a frame) instead of time_input. The input is a float either way so subframe values are preserved.

tags: StringArray

Tags to assign to the created node.

Outputs

*graph: ApexGraphHandle

The updated graph with the time/frame input added.

portid: ApexPortID

The float output port of the promoted time/frame node, ready to wire into the rig.
