class blendersynth.blender.other_objects.Empty(obj=None, name=None, **kwargs)[source]
animate_path(frames=(0, 250), fracs=(0, 1))

Animate object along path.

Parameters:

  • frames (tuple) – tuple of keyframes to animate at - length N

  • fracs (tuple) – tuple of fractions along path to animate at - length N

property axes: ndarray

Return 3x3 rotation matrix (normalized) to represent axes

classmethod create(location=None, rotation=None, scale=None, radius=1.0, name=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create and return a new Empty instance.

follow_path(path, zero=True, animate=True, frames=(0, 250), fracs=(0, 1))

Follow path, with optional animation setting.

Parameters:

  • path (Curve) – Curve object
