Description

This class is used to access node parameters in a character skeleton or scene object. Retrievable parameters include name, ID, parent node, list of child nodes, and more. Update to get the world-transform of the bone node for the current point in time.

Class Methods

RLPy.RINode.GetChildren(self, bWithSameCustomID = False)

Get children of the node.

Parameters

bWithSameCustomID[IN] is child need to have the same custom ID - bool

Returns

Child nodes - list 

1 # Get root bone
2 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
3 avatar = avatar_list[0]
4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
6 
7 # Get root bone children node list
8 children_node_list = root_bone.GetChildren()
9 print(children_node_list)

RLPy.RINode.GetDataBlock(self, strId)

Provide node to get data block.

Experimental API

Parameters

strId[IN] DataBlock Id - string

Returns

data block - RLPy. RDataBlock 

1 # No example

RLPy.RINode.GetID(self)

Get unique id of the node.

Returns

node id - int 

1 # Get root bone
2 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
3 avatar = avatar_list[0]
4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
6 
7 # Get root bone node ID
8 node_id = root_bone.GetID()
9 print(node_id)

RLPy.RINode.GetName(self)

4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
6 
7 # Get root bone node name
8 node_name = root_bone.GetName()
9 print(node_name)

RLPy.RINode.GetParent(self)

Get parent of the node.

Returns

Parent node. It will return null while the node is root - RLPy. RINode 

1 # Get root bone
2 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
3 avatar = avatar_list[0]
4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
6 
7 # Get root bone parent node
8 parent_node = root_bone.GetParent()
9 print(parent_node)

RLPy.RINode.LocalToWorld(self, kLocalMatrix)

Transforms matrix from local space into world space.

Experimental API

Parameters

kWorldMatrix[IN] local space matrix

Returns

RMatrix4 world space matrix - RLPy.RMatrix4f 

1 # Transfer root bone local transform matrix to world transform matrix
2 local_transform = root_bone.LocalTransform()
3 local_matrix = local_transform.Matrix()     
4 local_to_world = bone.LocalToWorld(local_matrix)
5 
6 print(local_to_world)

RLPy.RINode.LocalTransform(self)

Transform relative to the parent transform.

Returns

Transform - RLPy.RTransformf 

1 # Get root bone
2 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
3 avatar = avatar_list[0]
4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
6 
7 # Get root bone local transform
8 local_transform = root_bone.LocalTransform()
9 print(local_transform)

RLPy.RINode.RemoveDataBlock(self, strId)

Remove data block from node.

Experimental API

Parameters

strId[IN] DataBlock Id - string

Returns

RLPy.RStatus.Success - Succeed
RLPy.RStatus.Failure - Fail
1 # No example

RLPy.RINode.SetDataBlock(self, strId, spDataBlock)

Provide node to store data through data block.

Experimental API

Parameters

strId[IN] DataBlock Id - string
spDataBlock[IN] Store data - RLPy.RDataBlock

Returns

RLPy.RStatus.Success - Succeed
RLPy.RStatus.Failure - Fail
1 # No example

RLPy.RINode.Update(self)

In iClone's 3D animation world, it works based on adding keys, so when you add a key, you need to call Update function when you need to update the key value to the object.

Experimental API 

 1 # Get root bone
 2 avatar_list = RLPy.RScene.GetAvatars()
 3 avatar = avatar_list[0]
 4 skeleton_component = avatar.GetSkeletonComponent()
 5 root_bone = skeleton_component.GetRootBone()
 6 
 7 # Get root bone child node world transform rotation x-axis value
 8 motion_bones = skeleton_component.GetMotionBones()
 9 child = motion_bones[1]
10 child_world = child.WorldTransform()
11 child_rot_x = child_world.R().x
12 
13 # Set float control rotation x-axis value
14 RLPy.RGlobal.SetTime(RLPy.RTime(0))
15 animation_clip = skeleton_component.GetClip(0)
16 root_control = animation_clip.GetControl("Layer", root_bone)
17 data_block = root_control.GetDataBlock()
18 float_control_rotate_x = data_block.GetControl("Rotation/RotationX")
19 float_control_rotate_x.SetValue(RLPy.RGlobal.GetTime(), math.radians(60))
20 
21 # Update root bone with float control
22 root_bone.Update()
23 
24 # Get root bone child node world transform rotation x-axis value after updated
25 new_child_world = child.WorldTransform()
26 after_update_child_rot_x = new_child_world.R().x
