NullLayer

A null layer is used as a transform parent for other layers. It does not render anything on its own.

NullLayer interface

A null layer is used as a transform parent for other layers. It does not render anything on its own.

Signature:

interface NullLayer extends LayerMixin

Extends: LayerMixin

Remarks

When a null layer is a transform parent of another layer, that child layer inherits the null layer's transform.

Note: the Creator UI refers to the null layer as a null object.

Example

const controller = scene.createNullLayer({ name: "Controller" });

controller.rotation.addKeyframes([
  { frame: 0, value: 0 },
  { frame: 60, value: 360 },
]);
