Hi,
I'm currently having an issue with objects that I want to make appear during my animation. Some faces/edges are visible before the Apparition even begins. I assume it's due to a conflict with the boundaries that are nearly overlapping object limit. Is there a way to push boundaries beyond the object edges to prevent this from happening ?
Thanks

You would need to send me a model showing the problem. Difficult otherwise to understand what is going on.

Is it Libfredo that needs updating?

I found the solution in case anyone else has this problem:

This happened to me when I tried to make adjustments to the existing movements, for some reason the entire video would not play. I had to open up a backup file and add new movements instead of editing the existing ones.

I know this isn't a real solution, since I should be able to edit my existing movements, seems that my SU file is corrupt? And this is the only way around it.

Is your file too big for you to share so that others could look at it for you?

Hi there!

When dealing with kinematics, it's very useful to be able to graphically manage speeds instead of positions (slope of positions law)
I see that a lot of non-linear laws are availables during a movement, but as far I understand, it's only useful between 2 keyframes.
When dealing with more keyframes within a same general movement, I didn't manage to have some smooth transitions...

Here is a simple case:
Let's say we want to animate a car, constant speed (100km/h) between KF#1 and KF#2.
Then it decelerates between KF#2 and KF#3 so that it reaches another constant speed (50km/h) from KF#3 up to KF#4.
I didn't manage smooth transitions without generating some weird stuff...
Is there some kind of tricks using available non-linear laws?

Thanks!

Not possible at the moment, even between models.

Not Really.

All data for the animation is stored within the model and objects (as attributes).

So a Save-As or Save-Copy-As will keep the data, but there is no way to transfer the animation data between files. The reason is that all the references (i.e. entity ID) would be different.

Is there a particular situation where such a data transfer would make sense?

Yes there is, create a ready-to-use pre-animated objects (just like a Twinmotion for instance):
=> wind turbines, cars (with consistent wheel rotation), animated crane/excavator....

Thanks (your plugin is awesome!)

DUH! 😄

Also, set the thread to 10, not 512.

THIS!! what a difference in time! thanks a lot!

Hi Rich; thanks for your hint. But it does not run like your suggest. The triangles cannot be moved. At least on my surface. They light up red yes; but cannot be moved. I suspect I have somewhere else unintentionally changed a parameter in the main settings. Because I have already created several animations with clips that do not have such a timeline bar because the length of the clip is selected via the "duration" function.
