How to use Blend Transforms node in Oraphim

Type ID: motion.transform.blend
Category: Transform

What this node does

The Blend Transforms node is registered in Oraphim's Transform category and performs the graph operation represented by its sockets and controls below.

The current Oraphim runtime registers 6 sockets and 2 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are A, B, Factor; its main outputs are Transform, Factor, Valid. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
A	in_a	Matrix
B	in_b	Matrix
Factor	in_factor	Float

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Transform	out_matrix	Matrix
Factor	out_factor	Float
Valid	out_valid	Bool

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Factor	factor	Float	Blend	0.5
Mode	mode	String	Blend	TRS

How to use it

1. Add Blend Transforms from node search. Use motion.transform.blend when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Matrix source to A. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Factor, Mode first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Transform (Matrix) into a compatible downstream node, viewer, or output path.
5. Preview a representative frame, change one input/control at a time, and save/reopen reusable graphs to verify persistence.

Practical example

Create a small test graph with Blend Transforms. Feed a compatible source into A. Change Factor away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Transform to a compatible downstream stage so the result is visible. Keeping this test graph small makes socket-type, context, and parameter mistakes easier to diagnose before the node is used in a production graph.

Troubleshooting

• If a connection is rejected, compare the exact socket data types in the tables above; Oraphim graph connections are typed.
• If the result looks unchanged, confirm this node is on the active path to the viewer/output and that the expected graph/resource is selected.
• If a control is unavailable, check required inputs and whether the property belongs to an internal or mode-dependent group.
• If a saved graph behaves differently later, reopen it and verify node identity, connections, and edited property values before rendering.
