Houdini 20.5 Nodes APEX nodes

dynamicpath::LoadFromGraph

Constructs dynamic paths by evaluating Matrix4 outputs of a graph over time.

On this page
Since 20.0

This node takes a graph and uses it to construct a dynamic path. The graph has a time input port, and a set of Matrix4 outputs. dynamicpath::LoadFromGraph extracts the translations from the Matrix4 graph outputs over time to construct a dynamic path for each graph output.

The names of the output subports on the paths variadic port of this node determine the Matrix4 graph outputs to evaluate to create the dynamic paths.

Inputs

graph: ApexGraphHandle

A graph that is evaluated over time. This graph has a time input port.

parms: VariadicArg<Dict>

A variadic input of dictionaries that are combined and used as the input parameters for the graph to evaluate. The key-value pairs for the dictionary are:

  • key: parameter name (port name)

  • value: parameter value

starttime: Float

The time at which to start evaluating the graph.

life: Float

The period, in seconds, following starttime during which to evaluate the graph.

samplerate: Float

The frequency at which to evaluate the graph.

Outputs

paths: VariadicArg<ApexDynamicPath>

A variadic output of dynamic paths that are constructed from the outputs of graph.
