A Shakey Question "warper Node"

[user_deleted]

Hey all

I am pretty sure there may be a "RTFM" coming on this one....

But!

I am working with shakes warp node, what I want to know is.. with a brief explanation of what I am doing first..

I am setting a series of warps, each warp shape needs to be held for say 12 frames then jump to a different warp shape.

What I am doing is setting a key frame on frame 01 then the same key on frame 12, then on frame 13 i will adjust the warp to a new shape set a key on frame 13 and on frame 24 will set the same key again.. and so on

the issue I am having is that there seems to be some minor interpolation going on between keys on 1 and 12 and so on...

now this is not happening in all cases, so I am thinking that there needs to be a clear order in the way the keys and warper setting are applied so I am confident that this solves my problem.. which I have worked out..

however the real question is... because there is no access to roto shapes / warp roto shapes in the curve editor I was hoping there is a way of setting the interpolation of the roto shapes / warp roto shapes to "step" / "hold"

I hope I am being dumb and this is right in front of me...

I have just had a look at roto shape and there is "retimeShape" button in the timing turn down which looks like instead of the default "JSpline(1,1@1,100@100)" in the dialog I could put "step" to set up held rotos over frames... am I right in thinking this???

But

I dont seem to be able to find a similar thing in the warper node...

pretty tough thing to cover haha. it is hard to get a full understanding as to what you are doing, but i am pretty sure i understand a weee bit of it. when you want to jump from one shape warping onto the next, the best method to use is multiple warp nodes one after another.

other than that, i will have to read this topic when i am awake haha, then i might be able to give you a much clearer answer
