Basically, I want to freeze and unfreeze a scene that contains some vertex animated meshes.

So I can go loop stopping all meshes with animations, but later, I am not sure how to restore their state and resume them exactly from the frame I freezed.

I can detect which animator and animatornode was running. But:

* How to detect if the animator was playing or was stopped?
The vertex and other animators have a nice _isPlaying flag, but it is private and therefore not exposed to us.

* How to resume from the exact stopped frame state?
The only usefull property I could use is its “absolute time”. But is it really reliable to setting it back via “animator.time=oldtime” or “animator.update(time)”.

Am I missing something?

Did you find an answer to this?  I’m stuck on this too.

use something like

//durationValue (between 0 and max duration)
VertexAnimationState(myAnimator.activeState).reset(getTimer()+ durationValue);
VertexAnimator(myAnimator).update(durationValue);

Many vars/methods are “accessible” using namespace “arcane”.

Sweet!  Thanks!
