Freeze scale transform on a parent object with animated child (MAYA MEL/Python script) -


i have hierarchy of objects animation on translation , rotation, scale xyz equal , static not 1. when freeze scale on parent mesh it's children's animation goes wild. there way prevent happening?

i have found workaround, it's not perfect yet. let's have simple setup this: parentobject=>childobject

  1. i put childobject in group "childobjectgroup"
  2. parent childobjectgroup world , 0 out it's transforms excluding scale.
  3. bake childobject's trasformations world don't need group anymore. (found script that)
  4. freeze scale transforms on parentobject , childobject
  5. reparent them back

it works simple hierarchies that, not sure how apply more complicated ones deep tree , several brunches. i'm missing , there simple solution that.

any time change scale of parent node, translation it's children going change - @ least, if you're measuring in world space units. so, moving 10 units under parent scaled 0.5 move 5 world space units (for example).

i'm pretty sure rotations should fine since scale doesn't change how rotation around pivot works; however, if you're rotating pivot not in center of object , have non-uniform scaling (xyz not equal) rotation inside of squashed space feel more oval circle.

if that's not problem, main thing worry translation positions - need world space positions of each object @ each key, 'fix' scale, go through keys , set world space position again (i use xform command since can query , set position world space values). so, steps outlined best bet...

if have non-uniform scales though, may not able rotations work out in way gives same results (just depending on positions/pivots , consecutive descendant positions/pivots). if parent's scale isn't hurting , isn't supposed keyed/animated, might ok lock , hide without adverse effects.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
