Converts all faces in the parent mesh to triangular faces

Example .dfx

Method #

This node converts all faces of the connected mesh to triangular faces.

Attributes

These properties control the core behaviours of the node.

Parameter	Details
Primitive Type	Control how the parent geometry is triangulated. Triangles : Split all n-gons or quads into triangles. Triangles + Quads : Split all n-gons into triangles, quads are unchanged.

Time

The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.

Parameter	Details
Duration	Control the duration of the node’s time segment. Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration. Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time	The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)	The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)	The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled	Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.

Name	Description	Typical Input
Generated Weightmap	Add a weightmap to vary the strength of the deformer across the surface.	Generate Weightmap
Transform Modifiers	Apply the transforms of another node to this node.	Null
Target Node	Modifiy the rotations of the node to always direct the z axis towards the input.	Null
Local Transform Override	Apply the transforms of another node to this node, relative to its parent.	Null
