Sample Clip and Sample Frame
Sample Clip
Sample Clip plays one named clip and outputs a local pose. Set Clip to a name from the graph's clip mapping.
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Loop | Repeat the clip; enabled by default. |
| PlaybackSpeed | Playback multiplier. Zero pauses; negative speeds are clamped to zero. |
| RootMotionAmount | Multiplier for the clip's constant root motion. Zero disables it. |
In Start restarts playback. When this pin is unconnected, the clip starts automatically. In Loop and In Speed override the corresponding properties.
Out Pose connects to blending nodes or Pose Result. Out On Started triggers when In Start is triggered and when playback loops. Out On Finished triggers when a non-looping clip reaches its end. A non-looping clip then holds its final pose.
To fade the clip's influence, change Pose Result's In Target Weight. Starting or stopping a fade is separate from restarting playback.
Sample Frame
Sample Frame samples a fixed position in Clip. NormalizedSamplePosition and In Normalized Sample Position use the range 0 to 1. In Absolute Sample Position, when connected, takes precedence and specifies time in seconds. Positions are clamped to the clip's range.
This node does not advance with time or sample animation events. It is useful for pose selection and aim offsets.
Rest Pose
Rest Pose outputs the skeleton's bind/rest pose through Out Pose. Use it as a neutral pose or explicit fallback.
