The TryGetBoneTransformAnimation method attempts to retrieve the world-space transform of a specified bone after animation processing but before any physics or procedural bone modifications are applied. This method is useful for obtaining the animated position and orientation of a bone at a specific point in the animation pipeline.
To use this method, you need to pass a reference to a Bone object and an uninitialized Transform object. The method will attempt to populate the Transform with the bone's world-space transform. The method returns a boolean indicating whether the operation was successful.
// Example usage of TryGetBoneTransformAnimation
SkinnedModelRenderer renderer = new SkinnedModelRenderer();
BoneCollection.Bone bone = renderer.GetBone("BoneName");
Transform boneTransform;
bool success = renderer.TryGetBoneTransformAnimation(ref bone, out boneTransform);
if (success)
{
// Use boneTransform here
// For example, print the position
Vector3 position = boneTransform.Position;
// Do something with the position
}
else
{
// Handle the case where the transform could not be retrieved
}
