feat(#520): node-anim CLI authoring + curve-editor TRS tracks + Bezier bake - #948
Conversation
Closes the two remaining scope items from issue #520 (Slice C): CLI authoring (src/CLIPipeline.cpp cmdNodeAnim): qtmesh nodeanim <file> --add <node>:<position|rotation|scale> --keyframes "0:0,0,0;1:5,0,0" [--clip NAME] [--length S] -o out - Rotation values are Euler degrees (composed per-axis XYZ → normalised quat). - Multiple --add/--keyframes on the same node/time MERGE into one keyframe (each channel overrides its own component; untouched channels keep the node's current TRS) — position + rotation on one node round-trips. - Exports via sceneExporter so glTF is native + FBX/.mesh get the .nodeanim.json sidecar. --add imports via importer() (entity-named node so --add <node> resolves); --list (glTF/glb) imports via sceneImporter (retains the aiScene → reliable node-clip reconstruction the flag-less re-read missed on rigged multi-anim files). Verified: author→list→decode (tx→5, 90°Y quat). Curve editor node TRS support (NodeAnimationManager + AnimationCurveEditor.qml): - New NodeAnimationManager Q_INVOKABLEs mirroring the bone curve API: nodeChannels / nodeChannelValuesAt / setNodeKeyframeValue(+Preview). Rotation channels recompose+normalise the quaternion; edits call _keyFrameDataChanged() (the interpolation-cache gotcha) and push SetNodeKeyframeCommand (undoable). - AnimationCurveEditor branches on AnimationControlController.selectedIsNodeClip: when a node clip is selected it sources rows from NodeAnimationManager and routes value reads/writes through the node methods, reusing the same CurveEditModel Bezier/linear/stepped + tangent math as bones. Bone path unchanged when not a node clip. Sentry scene.anim.node.curve. smoke 54/54, combined round-trip 10/10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The curve editor let users author Bezier tangents on node-transform clip curves, but playback stayed LINEAR — Ogre's NodeAnimationTrack only interpolates linearly between keyframes, so the Bezier shape has to be baked into dense keyframes that trace the curve. Bone tracks already did this via ResampleCurveCommand; node clips did not. - ResampleCurveCommand (+ DecimateTrackCommand, used by the adaptive bake modes' baseline pre-decimate) gain a (default false → bone path byte-for-byte unchanged). When true, resolveTrack resolves the track from the SceneManager-owned Ogre::Animation (getAnimation(clip) → node track by associated-node name) instead of the skeleton. Sampling via CurveEditModel, dense keyframe insert, snapshot/restore for undo, _keyFrameDataChanged() and rotation renormalisation are all track-type-agnostic and reused as-is. - NodeAnimationManager::resampleNodeCurveSegment / resampleAllNodeSegments mirror the bone resample API, push the node-capable command (single undo macro for the all-segments bake), emit keyframesChanged, breadcrumb scene.anim.node.curve. - AnimationCurveEditor Bake dropdown branches on isNodeClip → the node resample methods with (clip, node). Tangent keys line up: the editor writes node tangents under (nodeName, clipName, nodeName), and the command reads the same triple. - Matches the bone path exactly: tangent DRAG only updates the side-table (no auto-densify); baking is the explicit Bake-dropdown action for both. smoke 54/54, combined round-trip 10/10.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to Batch baking can trigger repeated full curve-editor reloads for each segment, which may cause noticeable UI slowdown on larger node animations. This is a bounded risk suitable for explicit owner awareness or follow-up, but it does not currently require blocking the merge. Possibly related issues

Preserve every channel's source curve during node baking
When a node track has multiple active channels, this call runs once per channel and each invocation rewrites the entire shared NodeAnimationTrack. The first invocation replaces the original anchors with baked frames while filling the other channels using Ogre interpolation; subsequent invocations then sample those already-replaced values instead of the other channels' authored CurveEditModel curves. Consequently only the first active channel is faithfully baked, while later translation, rotation, or scale curves lose their authored tangents. Bake all active channels from one immutable track snapshot (or resample them together) before replacing the track.

Invalidate the node track on command undo and redo
When a curve value edit is undone or subsequently redone, SetNodeKeyframeCommand writes the saved TRS directly but never calls _keyFrameDataChanged(). The invalidation below runs only during the initial setNodeKeyframeValue() call, not when QUndoStack later invokes the command, so Ogre can continue playing the cached edited interpolation after Ctrl+Z even though the keyframe data was restored. Move the cache invalidation into both SetNodeKeyframeCommand::undo() and redo() (or otherwise run it for every command application).

Restore the full quaternion before committing a drag
When dragging any rw/rx/ry/rz curve on a non-identity rotation, normalizing after each scalar write changes the other three components too. On release, QML attempts to restore only the dragged component before pushing the undoable command, so normalization cannot reconstruct the original quaternion; the committed value can differ from the live preview, and undo restores this altered intermediate quaternion rather than the pre-drag rotation. Capture and restore the complete original quaternion/TRS for preview commits instead of reversing one normalized component.

- Around line 11348-11388: Validate each --add value is consumed by a following
--keyframes option; report an error for any remaining pendingAddSpec after
argument parsing instead of silently dropping it. Parse --length with
conversion-status validation and reject non-numeric values, preserving the
existing valid-length behavior. Update the nodeanim argument parsing and
validation around pendingAddSpec, adds, and clipLength.
- Around line 11488-11525: The pending keyframe merge currently distinguishes
times that NodeAnimationManager::addKeyframe treats as the same, allowing a
later complete TRS to overwrite earlier channel updates. Before writing each
entry in the merged-keyframe loop, coalesce times using the manager’s pairwise 1
ms epsilon comparison, merging channel values into the accumulated TRS while
preserving existing behavior for distinct times; do not use fixed-width
quantization or buckets.

…ag, CLI validation Addresses CodeRabbit/Codex findings on PR #948: - Node keyframe undo/redo cache (P1): addKeyframe now calls _keyFrameDataChanged() (covers SetNodeKeyframeCommand::redo, which routes through it) and undo() calls it after restoring the prior TRS — so Ctrl+Z is honoured on playback instead of replaying the cached edited interpolation. - Rotation drag commit (P2): setNodeKeyframeValuePreview normalises the quaternion each event, so reverting one component on release couldn't reconstruct the pre-drag rotation. Snapshot the FULL pre-drag TRS at drag start (nodeKeyframeTRS) and restore it whole (restoreNodeKeyframeTRS) before the undoable commit — undo now restores the true pre-drag quaternion. - Combined time+value drag preview (Major): the node keyframe hasn't moved during the drag (the move is committed on release), so preview against the CURRENT time (dragOriginalKeyTime), not the intended new time — the 1ms match no longer fails and the live preview stops freezing. - CLI --add validation (Minor): a trailing --add with no --keyframes now errors (was silently dropped / misreported); --length rejects non-numeric/≤0. - CLI keyframe coalescing (Minor): the pending (node,time) map now merges times within the manager's 1ms epsilon, so two spec times the manager would merge can't drop a channel. smoke 54/54, combined round-trip 10/10; CLI error paths verified.
