How to rotate better

pilou

Seems the key is the button
"Capture Layer Visibility from the current view"
with good setting of the Box dialog of Normal Layers!

It's a bit tricky to have side by side Object + Layer visibility!

Managment of tracks seems not permit that ?

Pilou, I understand the relationship between the object animation and the visual effect but you are not understanding the visual effect correctly:

When you capture the layer visibility it captures the visibility state of ALL layers
Unless you want to reverse the state of visibility of a layer, you should not set the duration greater than 0
If you want to control changing the state of layers in an overlapping situation (some layers on and some off, you need to have multiple captures with a duration of zero.

Yours is working correctly with durations greater than 0 because you are not turning layers on and off at the same time.

Suggest you go look at this thread: Visual Layer. I think it covers it pretty thoroughly and Fredo states that he will allow the control of selected layers in a future release.

Missing this one: I will study that!

...the problem with the garage door (look back at image) is the relationship of the size of the panel versus the size of the arch.

the animation logic is the same for any size slat...

click to gif...
slat longer then arc segment...

translation + rotation from the same base point for each segment...

About layers!

But the new visual effect "on-Off" for layers, would make it more intuitive, because each one becomes independent from where it is positioned in the timeline and thus can be reused.

So wait and see for no headaches!

This is one thing! Have you made that with Animator ?

If yes that must be painful if there not a trick!

The other is the following objects between them!

That is this sort of result wanted!

ntxdave

Yes, it is. The only problem is that if you look at the arch of the track for the garage door, the arc is smaller. Otherwise, it is exactly what I was shooting for.

Good work Chri........

Now if you could just get it to work that way with Animator.

pilou

It's the Hell to make that one by one
and you have all luck to make imprecise moves
and some deviations like me!
Input attemps some adjusment (rotation, translation) are not easy!
Tiredness coming!

Colors at the start ribbons don't stay on them ?
You must reput them !
