I am pleased to present the New version of Motion Node 1.3. I have made many changes to existing nodes, now they have become more flexible. And added new nodes.

I created all the node documentation with examples of how to use them.

I have set up a discord server to better organize all the materials that I release. There you can ask questions about the work of the node or request training material.

What's next

Now I want to focus on video tutorials. After that, I will continue to develop the nodes.

Change log

Grid Cloner – fixed the number of points when generating along the Z axis. Now when vertex Z is equal to 1, a regular grid is formed. Previously, in this case, it always generated 2 grids, regardless of how many vertexes you selected.

Time Offset – Now it's based on seconds rather than frames. The value that controls the speed instead of 0.0005 became 0.5. This is more convenient considering the size of the node itself.

I removed the option of random speed and starting positions, now the fields is instead. This allows you to use not only a random node, but also a noise node and attributes. And although this requires more nodes, it is much more flexible to use.

Linear/Box/Sphere Fields – As with time offsets, I removed the random option, now instead there are general fields where you can connect noise, random and attributes

Cube Subdivider – renamed the outputs and checkboxes to make it more intuitive. There is also an option to replace instances with another object.

Recursive Subdivider – now it works in any projection, can be included in the repeat zone and connected in series. Based on this lesson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W5uhH248Rk

Delay node – I added fields for naming attributes, this is necessary when they are used in 1 branch, otherwise they replaced each other. Fixed a bug where if you apply a delay to positions and set the attenuation to 0.2, then the position of all objects shifted by the same value.

Curve Deformer –added menu axis

Along a Curve – Added a drop-down menu for modes, 1 curve, all curves and on each curve. The latter mode means that there is only 1 instance per curve. Tilt has been fixed, now you can read them from the curve and set them with your manually. Added Align options

Trim curve loop has been reorganized. Now it does not include speed and you need to connect it separately.

Tracer – added menu with a selection of object conversions to points

Get position – Renamed to Get Data, in the future this node will be used to collect and calculate various data. Now the node issues position, replacing the bundle sample index+position node+index node. And gives out the dimensions of the Bounding Box.

Simple UV – Redesigned, now you need to connect the selection according to the normal to create a seam.

Select Edge – added a drop-down menu to select the mode.

Select Outside/Indise – I swapped the outputs, now the node allocates correctly relative to the names.I swapped the outputs, now the node allocates correctly relative to the names.
