How to create a Video texture animation

Home / Page / How to create a Video texture animation

Description

Creating a video texture animation was complicated in current DELTAGEN versions and not supported for Stellar:

  1. Make sure nothing is selected in the Scene tree
  2. Go to Animation menu > Create animation
  3. Choose “Video texture” as type
  4. Open the Animations list window
  5. Drop the object with the video texture from the Scene tree into the timeline target field
  6. In the Timeline window set a key
  7. Change the state of the video texture e.g. play it now and set another key or click “Append key”
  8. Change the state of the video texture again e.g. pause it now and set another key or click “Append key”
    –> When playing the timeline of the animation the state of the video texture adjusts as set before at each key

 

Solution

With DELTAGEN 2018x it will be possible to create a video texture animation in Stellar and the workflow has been simplified:

  1. Select the Scene tree object with the video texture
  2. Right click on it
  3. In the Context menu choose “Create animation”
  4. Select “Video texture” as type
  5. Click “Create”
    –> In the Animation list  the Video texture got assigned as target automatically
  6. In the Timeline window set a key
  7. Change the state of the video texture e.g. play it now and set another key or click “Append key”
  8. Change the state of the video texture again e.g. pause it now and set another key or click “Append key”
    –> When playing the animation the state of the video texture adjusts as set before at each key
