It's just recooking the whole graph. Just remove "interpolate between input frames" checkbox on your timeblend1 node (at 1:33), and it will work the same way

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

THERE IS A CHECKBOX FOR THIS ON TIMEBLEND?! Why didn't you tell me sooner xapkohheh, why?! Great tip, thanks!

[@PawelGrzelak]

holy shiet I always interpreted that checkbox in different way!

[@user-bq1vx7eq9e]

WHAAT 😂😂

[@StephaneSOUBIRAN]

​@@PawelGrzelak​........Me too, what the fuck !! LOL ..... i don't understand how it is working !? (because no ID attrib, vertex number changing...)

[@vladyslavlavrenov9167]

LOL

[@massimobaita7178]

Thank You very much, Tim!

[@PawelGrzelak]

Very interesting trick Tim. Did you try using performance monitor to check if lop retime in fact evaluates the whole tree?

[@antoniopepe]

i like the scene retime it the end all at once . great

[@CGImagine]

Great! Thanks for sharing!

thank you !

It's just evaluating sub frames. U can set the timeline to play fractions of frames to see this. So no actual geometry interpolation is happening.

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

Which is exactly what i’m describing it does in the video…

[@user-sl309jd90]

Thank you for sharing this!! Very curious to know how it works and why it doesn't work sometimes 🤔

[@TimvanHelsdingen]

If this works like how I think it works, it's because If you filechache it out it doesn't have the intermediate frames anymore, so it doesn't have anything to evaluate before the cache. This is still super useful though, I was using in a scene where im blending curves, then doing things with the curves after (sweeping, etc) and I needed a global retime on my scene. This made this a LOT easier, as I didn't need to start nesting timeblends inbetween all my graphs, i could just retime it like this :)

Woahhh 😮

Noiceeeee!!!!
