[Solved] KeyFrame UV

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I am new to MOBU.. very new and have what I believe will be an easy question.

So I have a texture that I would like to animate base on U and V.

Things I don't know how to do are, set Keyframes, change the translation of U and V, and how to navigate to the translate node.

What I have so far

##Navigate to texture Files##
Texts = FBSystem().Scene.Textures
for Text in Texts:
 if Text.Name == "AnimateTexture":
 print Text.Name

Thats pretty simple.. I know. So where is this translate node located its not "Text.Translation" because that crashes MOBU.

Okay thats all for now.

Thanks

****EDIT****

I have figured out how to move the UV coord and how to set a Key

Texts = FBSystem().Scene.Textures
for Text in Texts:
    if Text.Name == "AnimateTexture":
        Text.Translation = FBVector2d(0,5) #set number for U and V
        Text.Translation.Key()#then key

But how do I have the code move to a certain point in time(frame)? Lets say I need a key on frame 1 and 20.

You can step the transport control forward in time and set a key

from pyfbsdk import *

player = FBPlayerControl()

Texts = FBSystem().Scene.Textures
for Text in Texts:
    if Text.Name == "AnimateTexture":
        for frame in :
            player.Goto( FBTime(0,0,0,frame) )
            Text.Translation = FBVector3d(frame,5,0) #set number for U and V ## I had to use a 3D vector, not sure why
            Text.Translation.Key()#then key
     
    
    
"""
Or you can access the FBFCurve object of the texture and set keys at arbitrary time without 
stepping the transport control forward. You can set keys on a specific curve, saving more space.

from pyfbsdk import *

Texts = FBSystem().Scene.Textures
for Text in Texts:
    if Text.Name == "AnimateTexture":
        Text.Translation.SetAnimated(True)#make translation animatable so it has an animation node
        tAnimNode  = Text.Translation.GetAnimationNode() # this is the translation animation node
        tuAnimNode =  # this is the U coord, which is called x... 
        
        tuAnimNode.FCurve.EditBegin() # the docs say to use this to allow key addition to a curve
        for frame in :
            tuAnimNode.KeyAdd(FBTime(0,0,0,frame),frame) # the time and the value  
        tuAnimNode.FCurve.EditEnd()

Thanks! That worked like a charm. This mobu Python is slowly starting to make sense.
