Trilinear

The Trilinear node lets you warp your 3D geometry object as a whole by using trilinear interpolation from the object’s bounding box to the given destination box. For example, you can use this node to create animated object deformations, such as the squash of a bouncing ball.

Inputs and Controls

Connection Type	Connection Name	Function
Input	unnamed	The 3D geometry object you want to warp. If you want to warp several objects together, you can also connect a MergeGeo node here.

Control (UI)	Knob (Scripting)	Default Value	Function
Trilinear Tab
display	display	unchanged	Adjust the display characteristics of the 3D object. These settings don’t affect the render output of the scene; these are for display purposes only in the 3D Viewer. • off - hides the 3D geometry object. • wireframe - displays only the outlines of the object’s geometry. • solid - displays all geometry with a solid color. • solid +wireframe - displays the geometry as solid color with the object’s geometry outlines. • textured - displays only the surface texture. • textured +wireframe - displays the wireframe plus the surface texture. • unchanged - doesn't change the object's display mode. The Viewer can override this setting.
selectable	selectable	enabled	When enabled, you can make selections as normal in the Viewer. When disabled, points cannot be selected or changed.
render	render_mode	unchanged	Sets how the object will render. This control is independent from the display selection, but has the same settings.
reset shape to input	reset_shape	N/A	Cancels your changes and resets the input to its original shape.
copy	copy_shape	N/A	Copies the current positions of the bounding box corners (p0-p7) into a temporary buffer.
paste	paste_shape	N/A	Pastes previously copied positions of the bounding box corners (p0-p7).
set key	set_key_shape	N/A	Sets keys for the positions of all the bounding box corners (p0-p7) on the current frame. This is the same as selecting Setkey from the animation menu next to each of the controls.
delete key	del_key_shape	N/A	Deletes the keys on the positions of all the bounding box corners (p0-p7) on the current frame.
delete anim	del_anim_shape	N/A	Deletes the keys on the positions of all the bounding box corners (p0-p7) on all frames.
p0 xyz	p0	-0.5, -0.5, -0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p0 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p1 xyz	p1	-0.5, 0.5, -0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p1 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p2 xyz	p2	0.5, 0.5, -0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p2 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p3 xyz	p3	0.5, -0.5, -0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p3 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p4 xyz	p4	-0.5, -0.5, 0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p4 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p5 xyz	p5	-0.5, 0.5, 0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p5 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p6 xyz	p6	0.5, 0.5, 0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p6 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
p7 xyz	p7	0.5, -0.5, 0.5	The x, y, and z coordinates for the p7 corner of the bounding box. You can also adjust these by dragging the corner in the Viewer.
Source box Tab
use incoming bounding box	src_use_bbox	enabled	By default, the node warps the bounding box of the input object. If you'd rather warp a custom bounding box, uncheck this and use the controls below to define the custom box.
reset source box to input	reset_src_shape	N/A	Cancels any changes you've made to the custom bounding box and resets it to the original settings taken from the input. This control is only available if you have unchecked useincomingboundingbox.
box	src_color	red	The color of the custom bounding box in the 3D Viewer. This control is only available if you have unchecked useincomingboundingbox.
src0 xyz	src0	-0.5, -0.5, -0.5	Sets the x, y, and z coordinates for one of the two custom bounding box corners you can adjust.
src1 xyz	src1	0.5, 0.5, 0.5	Sets the x, y, and z coordinates for one of the two custom bounding box corners you can adjust.
