hi all.

i have a funny problem.

1. i get some geometry from DOP, with DOPimport SOP node.
2. i use “Create points for representing objects”
3. i need to retime cache, but TimeBlend don't work with “Orient” attribute (also “TimeBlendParticles” don't work with)
4. I need to import “orient” point attribute, but i can't use it as … variable value.

I mean i can use $VX $VY $VZ velocity, i can use $CEX(YZ), $MAPU, $MAPV
e.t.c..

How i can get $ORIENT ? How look right name for orient variable ?
$ORIENT0(123) don't work..

orient is a quaternion, you can interpolate it in VOPs with Spherical Linear Interp node
essentially you can build your own blend node in VOPs inside timeblend, which blends all attributes you need

The Attribute Create SOP can be used to create variables for existing attributes. Consider appending an Attribute Create SOP with the “Name” parameter set to “orient”, the “Size” parameter set to 4, and the “Write Values” toggle turned off.

tante and derrick, thanks ! It works now.
