How to use Layer Transform Animator node in Oraphim

Type ID: motion.transform.layer
Category: Transform

What this node does

The Layer Transform Animator 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 4 sockets and 6 properties for this node. Its main registered inputs are Layer, Progress; its main outputs are Layer, Transform. The tables below are generated from the runtime registry rather than a handwritten approximation.

Inputs

Socket	Key	Type
Layer	in_layer	Object
Progress	in_progress	Float

Outputs

Socket	Key	Type
Layer	out_layer	Object
Transform	out_transform	Transform

Controls

Control	Key	Type	Group	Registry default
Space	space	String	Target	0.0
Stagger Frames	staggerFrames	Float	Timing	8.0
Position	affectPosition	Bool	Channels	1.0
Scale	affectScale	Bool	Channels	1.0
Rotation	affectRotation	Bool	Channels	1.0
Opacity	affectOpacity	Bool	Channels	1.0

How to use it

1. Add Layer Transform Animator from node search. Use motion.transform.layer when you need the exact registry entry.
2. Connect a compatible Object source to Layer. Add the other inputs only when the operation needs them.
3. Start with the registry defaults and adjust Space, Stagger Frames, Position first so you can see the node's effect in isolation.
4. Route Layer (Object) 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 Layer Transform Animator. Feed a compatible source into Layer. Change Space away from its registry default and compare the result. Connect Layer 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.
