Animation Editor: Pose 2D Node Tutorial – Arma Reforger
A Pose 2D Node is primarily used for when you want to map a animation with a pose in each frame to different ranges, such as Aim Spaces or Look At animations. This node is a bit more complicated than most others, but once you have created one, it will be easier for you.
Tables
Each Pose 2D Node has an assorted table for the animation. It looks like this:
Y(-90): X(-90) = 0, X(0) = 1, X(90) = 2
Y(0): X(-90) = 3, X(0) = 4, X(90) = 5
Y(90): X(-90) = 6, X(0) = 7, X(90) = 8
To properly illustrate this, see this table:
| X | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -90 | 0 | 90 | ||
| Y | -90 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| 0 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
| 90 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
The numbers inside of the circles are the frame numbers in the pose animation, that correspond to a specific set of variable values.
Frame 0 is only played when both X and Y is -90, which is shown in the first line in the table shown before:
Y(-90): X(-90) = 0, X(0) = 1, X(90) = 2
Y(0): X(-90) = 3, X(0) = 4, X(90) = 5
Y(90): X(-90) = 6, X(0) = 7, X(90) = 8
Similarly, frame 5 is only played when X is at 90 and Y is at 0, shown here:
Y(-90): X(-90) = 0, X(0) = 1, X(90) = 2
Y(0): X(-90) = 3, X(0) = 4, X(90) = 5
Y(90): X(-90) = 6, X(0) = 7, X(90) = 8
If the variables are in any number in between these (eg, Y: -45, X: 45) , the poses will be blended.
Tips and Tricks
These tables are not limited to 3 by 3 ranges, but rather, you could have any combination of animations and strange variable values, shown below:
Y(-125): X(-60) = 0, X(0) = 1, X(88) = 2, X(155) = 3
Y(5): X(-150) = 4, X(5) = 5,
Y(29): X(-90) = 6, X(0) = 7, X(90) = 8
The only key rule to all of these is that you have to go from the smallest number to the highest number in both directions.The values in any direction must be higher than the previous, e.g (-60, 0, 88, 155) in X and (-125, 5, 29) in Y.
