Love This plugin, its gamechanging. Would it be possible to add an option to switch bools? like to make some clothes undress, to check or uncheck detach. At the moment i do it with an animationpattern, but it would be way more compfi if i could do this right in the plugin.

 

[Acid Bubbles]

@Mopze I knoooow I'm hopefully waiting for Meshed to provide some way to invoke the triggers UI (crossed fingers) but I'll probably try and provide a built-in solution, as this is by far the most crucial missing feature!

Acid Bubbles updated Timeline with a new update entry:

Timeline v2.1.0

- Improved mocap import (closer to the original animation but longer to generate, snap to specific times, also check rotation)
- Keyframe reduction for float params (e.g. for LFE's face mocap)
- Greatly reduce the amount of time to process modifications on large animations (by an exponential factor)
- Make the reduce technique configurable
- Fix dope sheet not resizing after animation length change

Just out of curiosity @Acid Bubbles , you know if it would be possible to use the last version and get the animations saved with an old release of the plugin ? I'm trying to finish my scene started like... forever ago. And I was using the old version of the plugin not packed as a var... that would be really cool if I could convert it to tweak it a bit with your new release.

( I'd also prefer to release something with up to date resources )

 

[Acid Bubbles]

All my plugins are always fully backward compatible, so no problem! You can edit the json directly, or delete the old version of time-line, rescan add-on folder and open the scene. It'll force upgrade and you can then save again.

 

[hazmhox]

Yeap indeed ! I think I made an error when pasting the initial path of the plugin, I just successfully changed the plugin to the last version.
I didn't know about the automated conversion if the old version is gone, I'm gonna try that to see if it works better.
Thank you very much !

Ok, this looks super impressive. Im curious, can you animate the animation duration? eg make it speed up/slow down over time?

 

[Acid Bubbles]

You can change the speed, there is a series of storables you can interact with using plugins and triggers, including speed!

 

[fishcakes]

Thats cool. Thanks. Im going to give this a good look over this evening.

 

[fishcakes]

Been playing with this a while. Very good work! Im someone with a background in 3d animation ( mostly in videogames ) so this is a welcome way to animate in VaM.

A couple of things:-

• Changing an animations name seems to cause problems. It doesn't update the anim name in the drop down list. If I reorder the animations, this fixes the names.
• When sequencing the animations and choosing either random or a group ( eg anim/* ) it would be great if it could choose the same animation again. As it stands, if I want to randomly choose between just two anims, it will only ever play them one after the other. I have to add a third for it to be random, but even then it will never play the same anim twice in a row. Be nice to allow for this as an option.

I appreciate this is a WIP - but figured you are open to feedback?

 

[Acid Bubbles]

Thank you, I do appreciate feedback! And for the bug I'm aware, usually I try to fix it immediately but I may be unable to work on this for a few days, sorry! But I definitely will fix this. Thanks for the suggestion to, I'll consider it!
