Hi there. Is it possible to get the transformation matrix of an object in time?
I mena if I'm at frame 20 and I want to get the transformation matrix at frame 10, how could I do that?

Thanks for help. :P

Bye

If it's for a command or exporter, use an MFnDagNode and get an MDagPath from it (MFnDagNode::getPath). the inclusiveMatrix() function of MDagPath will then return the world space matrix. Just use MAnimControl or MGlobal::viewFrame() to set the appropriate time.

If it's for a custom node then adda a matrix attr to your node and connect it to the worldMatrix attribute of the transform you want to query.
