[Plugin] Animator - v4.5a - 22 Jul 25
-
Hi Fredo6,
I generated two animations this week, after the update to v2.9a, and they both came out perfectly.
However when I send them Via WeTransfer, DropBox etc for others to view they are experiencing errors or corrupted files and the videos become unwatchable. The videos are still absolutely fine on my machines though.This has only happened since the update, is there anything else I need to do to correct this? Do you know why this could be happening?
Thank you.
-
Strange. Last update did not touch the video part.
Did you generate with NO rendering or with a rendering software?
What is the format of the video?
-
Just a standard video, no Vray etc.
File formats in .mov & mp4Thanks

What happens if you download your video posted on DropBox onto your own computer. Would they be corrupted too?
-
I just tried transferring the file, via DropBox, from my PC to my Imac and it downloaded and played fine.
I'm not too sure what's happening when I send the file over to a client. I've been using WeTransfer previously for other animations and it's been no problem.Your extension is absolutely fantastic by the way, please don't think that this issue has any effect on how I continue to use Animator. It's probably just one of those things but I had to bring it to your attention just in case you had a solution.
One thing I would like to ask is about the sizing or dimension of the viewport before I start processing, is there a rule of thumb for optimal size, i.e 1920 or 1200 etc...
Thanks again.

A great way to begin the new year**!** THANK YOU.
Really nice features and interface/easy-to-understand controls.
Should satisfy long awaited needs. The demo is well explained.
Could Scenes be generated? Export to movie formats or images (jpg, gif, etc.)?

What do you mean 'generated'?
-
Have scenes created at specified intervals along the camera path (eg., at 10% intervals or intervals at a specified distance).

Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for creating such ingenius tool, now I would like to ask if there is any way to make it render at cloud, it would be a game changer for me as a low spec pc user. Thanks

Unfortunately, this is not under control from Animator. It could be done by the rendering software if it interfaces to Animator (via a dedicated API). In a next release, I will try to improve the rendering time for VRay 5, because there are new features.

Thanks Fredo, amazing work.
Just one thing, will you be re-implementing the aspect ratio buttons.
I miss just hitting 16:9 and changing one value..
Bit lazy I know..
Cheers.

I am still experimenting with this excellent plugin - many thanks.
For animating camera I can only see two real options - Tracking object or rotating around object.
Is it possible, or will be possible, to have camera follow a path? Two options would be useful, either looking ahead, or turning left/right up/down.In a post from Treadshot A1, Dec 29 2016 earlier version, he mentions camera path option of bezier.
Has that option now gone.
Best wishes -

Camera Path is on my plan. It's a little bit longer than planned actually.

Has that option now gone.Not sure what it is... and probably not related to Animator.

Hi, thanks for the plugin! Is it compatible with Vray 5.10.01 (latest as of 03/09/2021)? All I'm getting is a black screen for each frame.

Normally, it is compatible with VRay 5. I did not test V5.1 however.
Could you try to press the button Test Image before you launch the video generation. And also open the Ruby the console.
