What is the recordAttr command used for?

I read the help but i don't understand why you would need to "record" an attribute? so help out folks ... thanks

thanks

if you want toi record for example you manipulating the camera during playback as a motion capture.

Why would i need to do something like that?

Is this thing strictly for motion capture enviornment use only?

Because your in hurry, no actualli its quite usefull for that hand shaky feel. Soem quick retimg (like music scratching etc) Or you can use joystick or whatever as motion capture. Hell even your etric violin if you care to. Lego robot is one particularly nice tool for posing.

do this make a sphere keep it selected swithc tool to move and run:

playbackOptions -min 0 -max 200 -ps 1;
recordAttr -at "tx" -at "ty" -at "tz";
play -record;

then quickly move to move the ball.

wait till time ends, replay see the object moving like you moved it! Useful or not. How the hell should i know what you use it for i find it useful for certain things.

(tip: put a pause at start so you can position yourself).

any idea why when i swap out all the t* attributes for r* it still locks me off from rotating the object?

[joojaa]

because theres linear to rotation conversion thats going on here and the filter routine is slightly broken in its default state.

Make a indirect record, whene you leverage a network to resolve the value.
