[Plugin] Animatex v1.0.6
-
Animatex v1.0.3 Released!
Now with v1.0.3 you can animate multiple faces on each of the three separate layers that can control different x,y,z speeds. Animatex now works while transitioning between scene camera animation without lag. Will make quick video soon explaining the new features so expect that soon.

Animatex v1.0.4 Released!
Animatex works with groups now!
Note: Thanks to TIG and Thomthom for helping me solve the issue on the development forum!

Thanks Rafael - from strength to strength.

Renderiza,
First off this is a very nice plugin. Question: Will it work with round objects like pipes? I would like to simulate water flowing through a pipe. Also, can I make the water flow to the left instead of the right? Probably a dumb question but I can't change the direction.
Thank You,
Paul
Edit: Figured out the second question. Make it a negative number

Thank You!!!

raineysky :: Will it work with round objects like pipes?
Hi,
The plugin will animate any face with a texture that is inside or outside of a group but it can't be nested in a group withing another group and also it is not working with face inside Component Instances at the moment.
With this in mind you can have animated textures on round objects but since the texture x,y,z coordinate are set by face and not globally like for example projected faces, it will mess the uvs coordinates if you used projected texture if that make any sense.
Now you pointed out that you are using water so it may still look decent...I might include an example of this on my upcoming video.
raineysky :: Also, can I make the water flow to the left instead of the right?
You can use negative sign to specify x,y,z to move in opposite direction. For example;
x= -1 , y= -6 , z= -10
Hope this helped...Cheers!

I corrected the message since 2nd time I read it wasn't what I wanted to mean so here is another try on that sentence...

Animatex v1.0.5 Released!
Hi, this is a small update for Animatex.
Now Animatex is an extension that you can see under Window > Preferences > Extensions. With a quick click, you can learn some info about plugin and can even turn it on and off.
Also this update attempts to fix some buttons that were not showing on some web-dialogs and also removed some that were not needed.

Cheers!

What screen recorder are you used for the videos?
-
Hi,
I used Active Presenter which is free.
Free Edition
ActivePresenter is a free screen recorder and video editor for Windows & macOS. Cut, crop, join, zoom-n-pan, speed up, slow down video...
Atomi Systems, Inc. (atomisystems.com)
I also use Frapswhich only captures viewport and ignores things like cursor, toolbars and so on. This screen capturing software reduce lag and preserve frame rate really well but its not free.
Cheers!

thx for the infos!
-
Realy Great plugin i think that the last version'll be one of the best tools for Designers
-
Hi,
Animatex is now available at Extension Warehouse!

When I was using Animatex inside SketchUp there was no lag but I guess 'ActivePresenter' screen capturing software produced some lag in the video output. If you want to screen capture without lag output then I recommend using 'Fraps'.

I installed the plugin but it is not animating... I followed all the instructions... also tried different values, components/groups/ just planes... still it is not animating.. does this require any other supporting plugin to work.?

Did you add face to 'Animatex layer' by selecting the face and clicking the green button under layer in web-dialog? If the face is inside a group you need to enter that group and select the face before pressing add 'Animatex Layer'.
Also just in case download latest internet explorer and check if plugin folder have full rights. Let me know if problem persist.
thanks for feedback!
