Parent Transform
A placement meshes hang on: cable Transform into a Mesh's Parent and the mesh moves, turns and scales with it on top of its own placement. Chain them (Transform into the next Parent) for a hierarchy — a cannon on a ship swinging under a balloon, each level animated on its own. Rotate and Scale turn about the Pivot. World X/Y/Z is where Point X/Y/Z ends up after the whole chain — the spot to put a particle emitter or a rope's end that must ride along.
Inputs
| Port | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
| ParentAnother Parent Transform's Transform: this one then moves with it, its own placement on top. Empty = placed in the scene directly. | structure | — |
| Position XMoves everything hanging on this transform, in scene units (inside the parent's space when Parent is cabled). | float | 0 |
| Position YMoves everything hanging on this transform up or down, in scene units. | float | 0 |
| Position ZMoves everything hanging on this transform nearer or further, in scene units. | float | 0 |
| Rotate XTurn about X in degrees, about the Pivot — a forward or back tilt. Not clamped. | float | 0 |
| Rotate YTurn about Y in degrees, about the Pivot. Not clamped. | float | 0 |
| Rotate ZTurn about Z in degrees, about the Pivot — a sideways sway. Not clamped. | float | 0 |
| ScaleUniform scale about the Pivot (above 0). | float | 1 |
| Pivot XThe point everything turns and scales about, in the children's units: a balloon's centre, the rope hook a gondola swings from. | float | 0 |
| Pivot YPivot height, in the children's units. | float | 0 |
| Pivot ZPivot depth, in the children's units. | float | 0 |
| Point XA point of the hanging object (in its own units) to follow: World X/Y/Z says where it is in the scene after the whole chain — a muzzle for an emitter. | float | 0 |
| Point YHeight of the point to follow (World Y). | float | 0 |
| Point ZDepth of the point to follow (World Z). | float | 0 |
Outputs
