Snapshot Animator (Beta)

Paid Plugins Snapshot Animator (Beta)

Just couple of small improvements in this version:
  • Toggle buttons to select/deselect all items in the track settings. See below:

  • Automatic mapping in library import (tries to find matching atom to mapping selections so the user doesn't have to select). It's bit faster to import if there is only one or two person atoms in the scene. Example below, these were automatically added when opening the import dialog:

In this version:

  • include all atoms for snapshots. Making it possible to animate every atom. Select the atom in the snapshot settings menu to include it into snapshot.
  • Created some basic loop animations in the library. Provided as separate var file so it can be updated separately. Just copy the McKlinton.AnimPack.1.var to Addon folder and SnapshotAnimator should load the animations to the library.
In this version:
  • Playmode in timeline (play once, loop, ping-pong)
  • Solo/mute tracks
  • Repeat count for track keyframes. Select a number how many times track keyframes are repeated within the track.
  • Improved VR mode. Supporting taking/applying snapshots and playing animations. Timeline usage (dragging elements) NOT supported.
  • Keyframe interpolation selection. The user can select if interpolation mode is either Linear or EaseInOut
  • Relocation of animation (E.g. move persons related to animation to different location in our scene)
Fixed package path issue
Changes in this version.

  • Fixed issue with animating triggers in multiple tracks.
  • Improvements in UI
    • Dark color theme
    • Button trigger area fixed
    • Close buttons for panels the user can open
  • Implemented timeline zoom and scroll. Now mouse wheel can be used for zooming.
    • Tick marks to visualize the current zoom level.
    • Scrolling implemented by adding a drag feature. Click and hold on the track area and drag to scroll left and right.
  • For content creators: Possibility to transfer animations to free plugin (Mcklinton Anim Player). Will be published as a separate free plugin. Exporting is now possible by using "Bake for Anim Player" button in Snapshot Animator plugin UI.
  • Library paging when all the library animations can't fit in one page. (Also supports directories, but not yet possible to manage on UI. You can also organize library item files in the Windows file explorer in folder ./Custom/PluginData/McKlinton/library. Directories under library should be shown as folders in the SnapshotAnimator UI.
Changes in this version

  • Animation library for re-using animations in other scenes. Simple make an animation and add it to the library and it will available throughout the different scene files. When importing, choose target person to retarget. Please note that animation might not look the same when using different characters (especially if the persons have different heights than in animation).
  • Animating player viewport camera and triggers in timeline. Check the "controls" menu in timeline to toggle on/off.
  • Optimizations when using timeline. Works now much faster.

    Ps. I dropped zoom and scroll from this release, it is bit more complex than I thought. Maybe will make it in the next version.
  • Support for multitrack.
  • Support for multiple animations.
  • Support for saving/loading animations, snapshots and timelines to/from scene file.
  • Support for triggering animations.
