time value in scripts

time value in scripts

Postby ello » Thursday, 31.January 2013, 19:05

hi there, can someone point me to how i can access the time inside subdivision op? i'd like to apply some sine function to the Smooth value.
Generally i found that time is not available directly in many ops. in transform ops i can just type "time" and it works...

thanks for any input to this.
cheers,

hi ello

mesh operators are not animatable, it's why time is inaccesible.

When a parameter can be animated there is a * before. you can see also the animation script text box on bottom

thank you. so, is it generally impossible to change the Smooth value by time?

mmm, it depend of the mesh.

Maybe you can use morph between two mesh operators, with the second one smoothed, and use a marching cube to render the transition morphing.

maybe others way to fake it but don't see for now...

ok. thank you for your input :) maybe i can fake it by using displacement
