Perform hierarchical transformation The jit.anim.node object represents a transformation (position, orientation and scale) in 3D space. OpenGL objects bind to a jit.anim.node and receive position, rotate, and scale attributes. In addition, parent-child relationships can be established in a hierarchical transformation structure, where child jit.anim.node objects are transformed relative to their parents. Cycling '74 Jitter messages in TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE bind objects or position/rotate/scale messages TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE Output the current transform coordinates Output the current world transform coordinates, which is a concatenation of the local transform with the parent transform. Scale along axis Scale the node along each axis by the amount provided. Move the node Move the node along the axis provided, relative to the space indicated by movemode. Reset the transformation Reset the local transformation attributes to their default values (position = 0 0 0, rotatexyz = 0 0 0, and scale = 1 1 1) Rotate along axis Rotate the node along each axis by the amount provided, relative to the space indicated by turnmode. Concatenate (multiply) the current transform with the passed in 4x4 matrix Concatenate (multiply) the current transform with the passed in 4x4 matrix. Local transform attributes are updated after the operation. See the anim_grow listing TEXT_HERE Retrieve the world-space position from passed in local coordinates Retrieve the world-space position from passed in local coordinates. The local coordinates are relative to the current world-space transform. Retrieve the world-space quaternion from passed in local quaternion Retrieve the world-space quaternion from passed in local quaternion. The returned quaternion is the product of to the current world-space quaternion and the local quaternion. See the anim_move listing TEXT_HERE See the anim_reset listing TEXT_HERE See the bang listing TEXT_HERE See the anim_turn listing TEXT_HERE Retrieve the local-space position from passed in world coordinates Retrieve the local-space position from passed in world coordinates. The local coordinates are relative to the current world-space transform. Retrieve the local quaternion from passed in world-space quaternion Retrieve the local quaternion from passed in world quaternion. The returned quaternion is the product of to the current inverse world-space quaternion and the world quaternion. Adjust the node anchor (pivot) position Adjust the node anchor (pivot) position (default = 0 0 0). This is the position around which the node will rotate. Parent anim_node name TEXT_HERE Set both turnmode and movemode Set both turnmode and movemode attributes (default = parent). transform relative to local axis TEXT_HERE transform relative to parent axis TEXT_HERE transform relative to world axis TEXT_HERE Enable automatic updates from draw context Enable automatic updates from draw context (default = 1). Orientation (by direction) One way to set the orientation. The node will orient so that it's local Z axis will align with the axis provided. (default = 0 0 1) Inherit position flag Enable inheriting of position values from the parent node (default = 1). Inherit rotation flag Enable inheriting of rotation values from the parent node (default = 1). Inherit scale flag Enable inheriting of scale values from the parent node (default = 1). Retrieve the inverse world transform Retrieve the inverse world transform Force node to remain pointed at lookat value Force the node to remain pointed at the lookat value, ignoring orientation messages and attributes (default = 0). Zero out translations in specified plane Cause translation values of the specified plane to be set to zero for move message (default = 0). TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Orientation (point-at) One way to set the orientation. The node will orient so that it's local Z points to the 3D position provided. (default = 0 0 0) Determines which space the move message will affect the position of this node. Determines which space the move message will affect the position of this node (default = parent). move relative to local axis TEXT_HERE Move relative to parent axis TEXT_HERE Move relative to world axis TEXT_HERE Instance name The instance name. Ob3ds can set their anim attribute to this value to bind to this node. Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Specifies a position in 3D space that will be concatenated with the local position to derive the world position. (default = 0 0 0) Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Specifies a quaternion orientation that will be concatenated with the local orientation to derive the world orientation. (default = 0 0 0 1) Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Specifies an angle-axis orientation that will be concatenated with the local orientation to derive the world orientation. (default = 0 0 0 1) Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Set by the node named by the anim attribute. Specifies a scale value that will be concatenated with the local scale to derive the world scale. (default = 1 1 1) Position Specifies a position in 3D space. This position is relative to the position provided by the parent node. (default = 0 0 0) Quaternion orientation Specifies a quaternion orientation in 3D space. This orientation is relative to the orientation provided by the parent node. (default = 0 0 0 1) Angle-axis orientation Specifies an angle-axis orientation in 3D space. This orientation is relative to the orientation provided by the parent node. (default = 0 0 0 1) Set the axis order of rotatexyz Set the order rotations are applied for the rotatexyz attribute (default = auto). E.G. if set to xyz, the object is first rotated around its X axis, then Y, and finally Z. The default of auto implements yzx ordering. To replicate Max 5, use zyx. If an ob3d is bound, this will override the rotate_order inherited from its jit.gl.render context. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Euler orientation Specifies an Euler orientation in 3D space. This orientation is relative to the orientation provided by the parent node. (default = 0 0 0) Local scaling factor The local 3D scaling factor in the form x y z (default = 1. 1. 1.)

Additional attributes are provided for advanced control when a jit.anim.node is bound to a jit.gl.camera.
