trueBlue wrote: 21 Dec 2021, 19:48 Unless I am missing something, I do not believe your D3D Render has Synchronization from Workspace to Model
The only Synchronization I see is the Special Mesh Processing
Code: Select all
	if(specialMeshes) {
		var msdone = Space.CurrentScene() + "/ms_flags_object";
		var matrix = System.CreateDO("Math Package/Matrix Float Data")
		Node.Value(msdone, "Matrix") = matrix;
		tSBridge.SynchronizeObject(msdone);
	}

"Combines modelspace and workspace animations into one D3D workspace render sequence. Can also
be used to bake workspace animations to modelspace animation via the autokey setting in modelspace
and for rendering command script based animations."
If modelspace doesn't update from workspace then the second half of this is not true. You would not be able bake workspace animations to modelspace.

Like I said there is no Synchronization from Workspace to Model in your D3D Render
However, when Rendering to File or Preview, Model's animated objects do update in Model and Workspace animated objects update in Workspace
Render to File renders both
I confirmed this with your current version as well
If you want Model to update Workspace animated objects, then you would need to add
tSBridge.SynchronizeObject(Space.CurrentScene());

Even then, it would not work with Special Mesh Processing because that process selects the ms_flags_object.RsObj

So far, what I am finding, is, the python script process is what makes trueSpace unstable for me
I have to close Model and exit trueSpace
I have been testing a simple 60 frame Metaball Model & Workspace animation

I have changed the assigned python script with the ms_flags_object to not select

.
This still works with my Metaball and so far, makes trueSpace a little more stable
Is it necessary to select the ms_flags_object?

I don't think it's needed. I thought that the object had to be selected to run it's script, but did some tests and play seems to run all the scripts in the scene no matter what is selected.

Cool, that will stop the object widget from flashing and the Model's Info panel from constantly updating.
What does trueSpace.Stop() do?

For me, simply opening Model's Script Editor and Closing it, causes Workspace to become unstable
Unstable meaning, using Workspace's toolbars are sluggish!

Some observations with the Protect Workspace's protect Matrix
Actually, this happens when you switch to Model and then back to Workspace
Spotlights, Projector lights, and Camera's Meshes get messed up
If you check protect Matrix before switching to Model, close Model, and Restore Protect Workspace, it fixes the meshes
Or you can set a Matrix Keyframe at the Start Frame for the above items before switching to Model
After closing Model, setting the Start Frame, fixes the meshes

Setting the protect Matrix causes trueSpace to crash after closing Model when using the D3D Render, especially when using Special Mesh Processing
Here is a scene with a script that will set a matrix Keyframe for all selected objects
Lights are animated in Workspace and the Cube in Model

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 24 Dec 2021, 20:44

I mention that on the web page for protect workspace,
"A keyframe can also be used to protect workspace matrix values from modelspace changes
A keyframe can also be used to protect workspace light angle and camera fov values from modelspace changes"
I almost always have the name and matrix options disabled when I use it.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 24 Dec 2021, 21:51

I have yet to see any Matrix changes to Workspace objects from Model besides the Spotlights, Projector lights, and Cameras
I suspect it may have to do with the Widgets
Why do you not protect Names?

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 25 Dec 2021, 02:37

I name my scene items so there is no automatic and incompatible names between workspace and model. So there is no ",#" or ", #" at the end of the names that needs to be protected.

@Clinton
There is an issue with your Key Interpolation panel's Target Track

: Key Interpoltion panel Target Track Reset.png (5.99 KiB) Viewed 2058 times

1) When you Reset the Target Track attribute, the combo control is blank and does not restore the missing Default value Track00
2) The Target Track attribute's combo control does not get populated with the Clip's TrackID
3) Record key issues
If the Clip is not on the Start Frame, it sets a keyframe at 0.000
The below image was captured in FCurve, after using Record on several selected keys

: Record Interpolation type Flat.png (2.47 KiB) Viewed 2057 times

Although, when the Target Track is blank, setting Interpolation still works

Seems to me, that is relies on the selected Clip and does not matter if it is on Track00 or whatever Track

I found the tS Commands for setting Interpolation types

Code: Select all

//	tS Interpolation Commands
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('ConstantMax')
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('ConstantMin')
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('Flat')
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('Custom')
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('Linear')
RsAnimKeying.Interpolation('Bezier')

//RsAnimKeying.BezierTangentAngle(-17.96)
//RsAnimKeying.BezierSharpness(0.33)

Looks like it's incomplete. There's even a "selectTargetTrack" command node that has no code in it. I'll check it out and get back to you.

"if object has multiple animation tracks the script will default to the last one added and the record button on first press will open the panel to give the option of changing the target track. Afterwards the record button will record keyframes until the object selection changes or the tracks change name or number of tracks changes. All this is needed because there is no way to read which track is active."

So it's not exactly broken, but super awkward and not intuitive to use. Needs some work...

I'll assume you are referring to Record
I find it easier to not use Record at all

In FCurve, setting the Type using the IT toolbar on selected keys is much easier!
Really sucks that there is no way to select Tracks and Clips in the FCurve aspect, so I made a script that switches from Story to FCurve then back to Story

: Key Interpolation panel.png (5.9 KiB) Viewed 2034 times

.
Been testing Record using the Flat type...
What I notice is the first key always set to tS Bezier type, so you have to Record twice to get it to set to Flat
From there on it works as expected
This is true when adding a new Track too, to get the Track Type to populate
What I notice is you have to make sure which Track is selected in the Anim Editor and the Target Track
Also, when adding a new Track, it looks like the Time should be at the last frame in the previous Track before using Record

Steps to remove Tracks in the Key Interpolation panel
Delete the track in the Anim Editor and select Track00
Set Time to the last key in Track00, press Record

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 27 Jan 2022, 16:01

You could just have 2 anim views open. One with fcurve and one with story. The manual says clips are for mixing separate actions, so it sounds like they should overlap in most cases.

This is the new keyframe interpolation tool. It uses a simpler technique so it doesn't rely on track selection anymore.
The panel opens floating now, because the zoom buttons require it.
Before positioning an object all the keys need to be selected first before setting a new keyframe.
It works by
0. all keys are selected using the button or the anim view context menu
1. position the object
2. press record button
3. a key will be set
4. the selection is inverted to select the new key
5. the interpolation is set on the key
6. automatic select all keys in preparation to create the next key

This weird sequence is needed because if you move an object then run any select command the object will move to it's animated position. Clear selection, select all, invert selection all have the same effect of moving it out of place.

The zoom buttons work with the active animation view. There is no clear selection button because it's easy to just click to deselect in the anim view.
The attached installer does not run automatically. Press "Install" after loading in the link editor.

If you use tS's Select All, it sets all channels
Is that still possible?

The set interpolation hasn't changed so you can still set it per channel in the FCurve view, or all channels at once if selected in the DopeSheet view.

The new key is recorded at the current time on the active track.

Your zoom to all script doesn't take you back to where you were before. It switches between zoom to all keys and zoom to the entire timeline. I think it would work better as simple zoom to whole timeline instead of the toggle action.
I think I can add a "GetViewAspect" to the plugin code. If so you can reduce those 3 buttons down to just 1 button.

Your zoom to all script doesn't take you back to where you were before. It switches between zoom to all keys and zoom to the entire timeline

tS Anim view's, Zoom To Fit All actually zooms to the selected Clip's Start to End, horizontally

I think I can add a "GetViewAspect" to the plugin code. If so you can reduce those 3 buttons down to just 1 button

I do not think this will be necessary with your new version, but Zoom to Timeline sounds good

There is no clear selection button because it's easy to just click to deselect in the anim view

Maybe. If the check is too early in the process it will stop creation of keyframes on objects that haven't been animated yet.

I might be adding some more to the rsx plugin. The SDK seems to show more to the AnimMng node than we can see. Might be able to get rid of the requirement for all keys selected before setting a new key in the script.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 02 Feb 2022, 19:49

How about this for the record script?

Code: Select all

	if(!Node.ConExists(Node.FirstSelected(), "AnimTrack")) {
		Node.Value(System.ThisOwner() + "/setInterpolation", "newKey") = false
		System.Alert("Set a Keyframe first")
		params.SetTerminationFlag()
		return
	}

Seems better than an error.

I looked for hours in the SDK for AnimMng and could not find anything

I notice that there is no interactive way to adjust the Left and Right angles on Custom Beziers

clintonman · Post by **clintonman** » 03 Feb 2022, 05:44

I set the record to do a normal key if nothing exists yet. Probably good idea to add alert if interpolation isn't set to trueSpace default and to bypass all the code if interpolation is default.

Code: Select all

	if(!Node.ConExists(Node.FirstSelected(), "AnimTrack")) {
		RsAnim.SetKeyFrame('', RsTime.CurrentTime());
		params.SetTerminationFlag();
		return;
	}

Custom Bezier handles - ctrl drag on the handles changes them individually

This is what I have in the panel after adding more functions to the plugin code. I think I'll rename it from KeyInterp to "Animation Utilities" or move all those buttons into a separate thing, I don't know.
Clear Selection is because you were right about deselect not always being available. If you have keys selected and the view is zoomed in then you can't just click to deselect.
Zoom to Fit Selection+ will zoom so that there is space top, bottom, left and right for easier selection and so the curve handles are not cut off at the ends.
Time to Center sets the time to the center of the view.
Zoom Time zooms horizontally in time and Zoom Curve zooms vertically in the curve view. These would work much better via mouse actions but that's a no go.
Zoom to Fit All+ doesn't do anything yet. It will zoom to the active clip start and end range with space around like the Zoom to Selection+.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 03 Feb 2022, 14:19

Sweet, cannot wait to try it!

I was thinking yesterday, how nice it would be to have a little bit of padding around the Zoom to Selection
Ctrl + Drag on the Custom Bezier handles works much better for Angles, thanks
Is there a shortcut for the Sharpness Left & Right?

While working on the animation plugin I discovered that truePause makes the Status Message work better. You can spam the status without skipping values.

This is what I did
replaced the Clear Status pause node with a truePause node from the Activities Base library
renamed the "truePause" to "Clear Status"
renamed the "pauseTime" connector to "Period"

You can test with the TestStatusMessage before and after to see the change. Press the button a bunch of times before the 2 second clear delay.

Almost done with all the functions.
Added bitmap controls for zooming and panning the anim view and for setting the sharpness and angle values.
Zoom to Fit All+ still doesn't do anything

Your new version is great, Clinton!

I am getting an error with the Select All button
ERR Source object: Error: Unspecified script error Line: 1, Char: 23 Script text: RsAnim.SelectAll('')

Pan and Zoom
Is there a way to set the Anim View, -100 100 | -50 50?
The above is trueSpace's Default settings

Thanks, those changes sound doable. I noticed that the RsAnim functions sometimes fail when the Anim view isn't active, so I'll add a check for it.

Just noticed that the Clear Selection button requires that an Anim View be active whereas the Select All does not

You might want to change the Alert message

The first sentence is misleading because your script actually creates a keyframe with Interpolation (trueSpace's Bezier)

Is the Default Type necessary? It seems to be the same as Bezier

The trueSpace default varies depending on how the previous or next keyframe interpolation is set. I forget the details, but default is not just bezier. It could be linear or stepped or whatever. I guess I can change the first sentence to say something like, "Interpolation type will be automatically set by trueSpace" or "Interpolation type will be determined by trueSpace".
So if you only create one type of interpolation while animating you don't need these scripts at all, unless the flat interpolation option is needed.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 07 Feb 2022, 18:13

Sounds better
I am just confused by the new Default Interpolation that does not exist in trueSpace
The best I can tell, trueSpace always creates a Bezier with the Sharpness set @ 0.33 and 0.33
If you want a different Interpolation Type, you have to select the Keyframes and change it via trueSpace's context menu
On the other hand, setting a Custom Bezier can have mixed results with the Angles

Your scripts however allow a user to Record/Set whatever Interpolation Type chosen in your UI
Something trueSpace cannot do

You can see it if you create a few keyframes by normal truespace record then make them all linear. Now when you create new keys by normal truespace record they will be linear, not bezier.

Not for me!
Following your steps, select the last frame created in FCurve to see what type it is
For me the previous keyframe has no Sharpness and the last frame created does

Roger that, I'll change it for 2 different messages based on whether the key is added after the last key. If after the last keyframe then say default trueSpace Bezier will be created. If anywhere else it will say what I mentioned before.

Fix "Select All" button error when Anim view isn't active
Fix "Select All" and "Clear Selection" button error when selected object has no animation.
Tried to add "Bezier" specific interpolation message but it was too difficult and only shows if some keys are selected.
Message says
"All keyframes must be selected to use the chosen interpolation type. Interpolation type will be determined by trueSpace."

If some but no all keys are selected it will say bezier message if current time is after the last keyframe time.
"All keyframes must be selected to use the chosen interpolation type. The trueSpace default Bezier interpolation will be used."

Added a rest button for the curve view value ranges.

Discovered that RsAnim.SelectAll command will create an empty animation clip if the object is not already animated. Added a check to prevent that from happening and to prevent errors if the selected object cannot be animated.

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 08 Feb 2022, 02:53

Seems to be working great, thanks!
Looks like you can remove the default type

Code: Select all

//	if(Node.Value(owner, "interpType") == "default" || !AllKeysAreSelected()) {
	if(!AllKeysAreSelected()) {
		RsAnim.SetKeyFrame('', RsTime.CurrentTime());
		params.SetTerminationFlag();
		return;
	}

Also, I have capitalized the Interpolation Types to match trueSpace

Why?

trueBlue · Post by **trueBlue** » 08 Feb 2022, 14:37

Like I said, I am not understanding why you are introducing another Default Interpolation which is the same as a Bezier
I see now after reading your website:

If all keys are not selected, the record buttons will behave the same as the default tS record button, but will give a warning message if the interpolation type is not set to "default".

Here is another example why adding the Default type is not a very good idea:
From your UI, set the Type to Default and Sharpness to 0.40
Press the Set Interpolation button or (Record button (without any keyframes selected so you do not get the Alert))
You should see that the Sharpness is not being set to 0.40
In your setInterpolation script, you are only setting the defined Sharpness with Bezier and there is nothing for Default
Sorry, just not understanding...

No problem, I think I see what you're saying.

The script/plugin does not do anything that tS can't do on it's own. So ignore/pretend the script doesn't exist.

The Sharpness 0.33 = 0.33 does not show in the anim view ui unless you have a keyframe selected. You can't set it's value and then use that value later on other keyframes. It always sets to 0.33 on new keys.
If you set keyframes at 10 then 20 then 30 you will always get bezier with sharpness 0.33
if you set those keys to linear and add a keyframe at 40 it will be bezier. If you add a key at 0 or between 10 and 30 it will be linear. Between 30 and 40 will create a bezier keyframe. So tS by default does not always make bezier keyframes.

Back to the scripts.
When using the Set Interpolation button, it only works on selected keys. It does not set the ui value.
When you create a new key with the script record button it will create the keyframe, select it and then change it's interpolation to the set values in the script. It can't set the values without first selecting the keyframe and it can't set the anim view ui sharpness to be used later.

Ah now I see, thank you for showing me!
tS by default does not always make Bezier keyframes

I think it would be clearer if Default was renamed to Current
Default, to me anyway, suggest trueSpace's default keyframe which is Bezier

I see what you mean. Default is variable, not a single set value as expected by the word. Current has no meaning for me so I'm leaning toward the word "Automatic" or 2 words "trueSpace Controlled".

They don't close when rmb is used. LMB acts the same as all the other buttons. So I'm not seeing what you describe.
