Detailed Description

A QVertexBlendAnimation class implements vertex-blend morphing animation to a target QGeometryRenderer . The QVertexBlendAnimation sets the correct QAttributes from the morph targets to the target geometry and calculates interpolator for the current position. Unlike with QMorphingAnimation , where the blending is controller with blend weights, the blending occurs between sequential morph targets. The actual blending between the attributes must be implemented in the material. Qt3DAnimation::QMorphPhongMaterial implements material with morphing support for phong lighting model. The blending happens between 2 attributes - ‘base’ and ‘target’. The names for the base and target attributes are taken from the morph target names, where the base attribute retains the name it already has and the target attribute name gets ‘Target’ appended to the name. The interpolator can be set as a QParameter to the used material. All morph targets in the animation should contain the attributes with same names as those in the base geometry.

class PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation([parent=None])

param parent

PySide2.QtCore.QObject

Construct a new QVertexBlendAnimation with parent .

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.addMorphTarget(target)

Parameters

target – PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QMorphTarget

Add new morph target at the end of the animation.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.interpolator()

Return type

float

Holds the interpolator between base and target attributes.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.interpolatorChanged(interpolator)

Parameters

interpolator – float

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.morphTargetList()

Return type

Return morph target list.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.removeMorphTarget(target)

Parameters

target – PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QMorphTarget

Remove morph target from the animation.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.setMorphTargets(targets)

Parameters

targets –

Set morph targets to animation. Old targets are cleared.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.setTarget(target)

Parameters

target – PySide2.Qt3DRender.QGeometryRenderer

Holds the target QGeometryRenderer the morphing animation is applied to.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.setTargetName(name)

Parameters

name – str

Holds the name of the target geometry. This is a convenience property making it easier to match the target geometry to the morphing animation. The name is usually same as the name of the parent entity of the target QGeometryRenderer, but does not have to be.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.setTargetPositions(targetPositions)

Parameters

targetPositions –

Holds the position values of the morph target. Each position in the list specifies the position of the corresponding morph target with the same index. The values must be in an ascending order. Values can be positive or negative and do not have any predefined unit.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.target()

Return type

PySide2.Qt3DRender.QGeometryRenderer

Holds the target QGeometryRenderer the morphing animation is applied to.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.targetChanged(target)

Parameters

target – PySide2.Qt3DRender.QGeometryRenderer

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.targetName()

Return type

str

Holds the name of the target geometry. This is a convenience property making it easier to match the target geometry to the morphing animation. The name is usually same as the name of the parent entity of the target QGeometryRenderer, but does not have to be.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.targetNameChanged(name)

Parameters

name – str

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.targetPositions()

Return type

Holds the position values of the morph target. Each position in the list specifies the position of the corresponding morph target with the same index. The values must be in an ascending order. Values can be positive or negative and do not have any predefined unit.

PySide2.Qt3DAnimation.QVertexBlendAnimation.targetPositionsChanged(targetPositions)

Parameters

targetPositions –
