Stefan,

All right now that's clearer. What you're trying is to do each object one after the other so it's not on the keys or on the parameters that you need to iterate.

sels = xsi.Selection
goodSel = []

# Get all the objects that have an Fcurve to anymate any of their pos
for sel in sels:
	if sel.NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
       	for oFCurveAnimatedParam in oFCurveAnimatedParams:
               	if "pos" in oFCurveAnimatedParam.Name:
				goodSel.append(oFCurveAnimatedParam)

# Now offset them each after the other - Assuming you have only one pos param animated per object
for i in range(len(goodSel)):
	oFCurve = goodSel[i].Source
	oRange = oFCurve.GetKeysBetween(oIn, oOut)
	oFCurve.OffsetKeys(oRange, oTimeOffset * i)	



Hope it helps!

Hi Nicolas,
The reason why I would like to isolate different SRT's is to give the
user some flexibility when using my plugin.

Here is how it works now.

1.) You create 100 cubes and place them as a grid (think tiles in a bathroom)
2.) You set a keyframe in rotation at frame 1 (on all of them)
3.) You rotate them in X 360 degrees and set that keyframe on frame 5
4.) you select them in the order that you want them to offset the animation
5.) you run the script (or in my case they have a menu and a GUI with options)

could look like this
http://sanders3d.googlepages.com/tiles.mov

Now I would like the user to be able to chose if he/she wants to do
the offset only on rotation, scaling, translation or visibility (those
four are the most common ones you use in this type of animation).

Anyhow, perhaps that will clear up what I want to do :)

regards
stefan

Stefan,

I'm not sure what you're trying to do but if you're trying to to
gradually offset each key of the fCurve (so that the offset is getting
more and more intense, like your first script seems to imply by -
"oFCurve.OffsetKeys(oRange, oTimeOffset * i" ), here's something you
should look into:

xsi.Selection(i).NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
        for oObj in oFCurveAnimatedParams:
                if "pos" in oObj.Name:
                        oFCurve = oObj.Source
                        oRange = oFCurve.GetKeysBetween(oIn, oOut)
                        # Get all keys of the fcurve and offset them
                        oKeys = oFCurve.Keys
                        for i in range(len(oKeys)):
                                # To offset them more and more
                                oKeys(i).Time.Value = oTimeOffset * i
                                # To offset them all the same value
                                #oKeys(i).Time.Value = oTimeOffset


Is this what you're looking for?

ok... this:
------
for i in range(oSel):
      oFAP =  xsi.Selection(i).NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
      for oObj in oFAP:
              xsi.LogMessage(oObj)

gives me the name of the object and the posy, posz etc.

This gives me nothing
------
for i in range(oSel):
      oFAP =  xsi.Selection(i).NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
      for oObj in oFAP:

                      xsi.LogMessage("yes")

This gives me a callback of 'X' 'Y' 'Z'

Anyone has any ideas?? :)

Hi Nicolas,

kind of lame that I didn't see that at first :)

However, I'm still stuck, perhaps my method should be revamped.
Because the function siFCurveSource gives you a boolean number if a
animation curve exists or not. And it still would do a offset on all
of the keyframes from the function OffsetKeys

hmm... I might need to rethink it from the start I think.

Stephan,

It's not "siFCurveSource" that you need to check to see if it's pos or
rot or else, it's "oObj".

in your script do this:

#--- start of python script

import win32com.client
from win32com.client import constants as c

xsi = Application

oIn = 1
oOut = 100
oTimeOffset = 2

oSel = xsi.Selection.Count

for i in range(oSel):
        oFCurveAnimatedParams =
xsi.Selection(i).NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
        for oObj in oFCurveAnimatedParams:
                if "pos" in oObj.Name: # THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR I THINK
                        oFCurve = oObj.Source
                        oRange = oFCurve.GetKeysBetween(oIn, oOut)
                        oFCurve.OffsetKeys(oRange, oTimeOffset * i)

#--- end of python script

Hi All,

I'm working (again) on this offset plugin. Thanks to André I now have
a much faster plugin using the xsi model. Though, now I would like to
filter out what's being selected or offset. The working base code I
have now is:

( can also be downloaded at http://sanders3d.googlepages.com/ )

#--- start of python script

import win32com.client
from win32com.client import constants as c

xsi = Application

oIn = 1
oOut = 100
oTimeOffset = 2

oSel = xsi.Selection.Count

for i in range(oSel):
      oFCurveAnimatedParams =
xsi.Selection(i).NodeAnimatedParameters(c.siFCurveSource)
      for oObj in oFCurveAnimatedParams:
              oFCurve = oObj.Source
              oRange = oFCurve.GetKeysBetween(oIn, oOut)
              oFCurve.OffsetKeys(oRange, oTimeOffset * i)

#--- end of python script

I would like to filter the "siFCurveSource" to only select
translation, rotation, etc. I've tried to look in the SDK docs if
something like "siFCurveSource.posx" or anything like that exists.
I don't know... learning as I go at least :) Anyone up for making any pointers?

regards
stefan andersson
