[Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.4a - 01 Jun 25

[fredo6]

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.

[pilou]

Idem! Seems there is blend of rotation / Object / General!

Is there a bug there?

[ntxdave]

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.

Yes same than Chris!
Rotation must be from a point outside the object, but result gives from a point inside the object!

OK - I understand. My rotations were from inside the object.

When you pick the pivot, the reference component containing the pivot is highlighted in orange. If you wish a pivot at top of model, then right click and select the option.
