Hi All,

I need to get the global transformation for the node in the scene, outside of any animation curves. In the past SDK I would use GetGlobalFromDefaultTake() method, however it is deprecated now.

The new way is to use KFbxEvaluator::GetNodeGlobalTransform(...). However, KFbxEvaluator works in context of a animation stack, and I need the global transform outside of animation context.

How do I do that? Thanks,

—Matt

Hi, Matt,
You can simply call GetNodeGlobalTransform(lNode), just let other parameters use their default value, especially the pTime, when it is equal to KTIME_INFINITE, no animstack will be taken into consideration to compute global transform.

Hope this helps.

This does help, thanks!

Do I even need to SetContext() on evaluator, or is it optional if I am evaluation with KTIME_INFINITE?

Hi, matt, if you always evaluate global transform outside of animation context, yes, you do not even need to SetContext(), but as long as you need to evaluate at any time other than KTIME_INFINITE, then you have to be aware of your current context. :)
