    Trying to figure out how to do the water spray

    Why don't you composite it using Natron or other similar software?

      New Release: Animator - v1.0v - 13 Jun 16

      Maintenance and small evolutions

      • Reworked the Movement engine to make it more contextual. This answers some valid requests by Pilou and Dave. See video below
      • Objects concerned by a movement are highlighted when mouse-over in the timeline. I still need to illustrate the movement itself
      • Possible assignment of color to a Clip element. This may help to distinguish them.
      • Bug fixing, in particular when creating new films and for random cases where the offset of transaltion was 'unset'
      • Cosmetic changes

      Note for the video:

      • The Rubiks cube is actualling 'orbiting' around the small cube. Orbiting means Rotation by a point which is attached to another object (versus absolute pivot).
      • It can however move by itself individually (the small jump)
      • The inside of the Rubiks cube is also animated
      • That why, in the second part of the video, the second instance only shows the movements within the Rubiks cube.

        Some good enhancements. I am playing with these a little and having a point of reference for rotating (orbiting another object) will turn out to be valuable. Already playing with that a little.

        In particular, I like the ability to hover a sequence and get some visual feedback on which objects the sequence is attached to is REALLY valuable (IMO). I also like that I can color code a sequence so I can easily identify all of the sequences that belong to a given object visually. I think this will be another tool that can be used a lot.

        Here is good example. I have 2 panels of the garage door that I have animated. By color coding each panel, I can easily see which sequences belong to which panel.

          About Orbiting, for the time being:

          • when you have clicked to select the pivot, you should click-right and choose the reference object if this is not the one taken by Animator or if you wish an absolute pivot.
          • The reference object for pivot is highlighted in Orange.

          I'll make the GUI more explicit in a next version.

                              It is my understanding that only the Pro version can be used with Animator. We will have to wait and see when they post the link today.

                                        I have been rebuilding my Pendulum animation (preparing for Twilight Render) and I have not seen a problem. I thought I did once but went back and redid my sequence and all worked well for me.

                                          Rotation must be from a point outside the object, but result gives from a point inside the object! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
