Gustavo,
just finished watching your video... brilliant, exactly what I need!
Thanks so much!!
Stephen,
why 3D in this case: customer wants to have some shiny reflective gold
material on the rings, and I want to keep the door open to flexibility
making the rings actual 3D objects.
I was going to start in After Effects, which I am anyway, because there
will be some text parts as well, but now that I have seen Gustavo's
plugin, I think I won't be faster in AE.
I also just feel comfortable inside SI already, that's also worth
something.
Anyway, out of interest: how would you go by this in AE? Procedurally, I
mean.
Plan B was to create one ring, animate it, distribute all the rings, and
shift around the anim curves.
But I think Motion Tools are the fastest approach, since I can also
spare recreating the many rings there are and use the polygon islands
approach on the existing mesh object I already have.
Thanks again!!
Gustavo: I hope you did put your plugin in the 'what use is ICE really'
thread, for the Bifröst devs to consider!
O Autodesk, where are you going...?

Betreff: Re: ICE trigger animation?
I do 2D animations also in Si because it has better animation tools
than say... AE or Animestudio or toon boom... And I am no fan of flash.
Also you can get some really cool 2D effects or even some cool hybrid
effects much easier. You can even have isometric design quite easily,
which is another 2d animating program would be difficult.
These ICE compounds are great! I wish I knew them from before.
I must admit it sometimes was cumbersome to animate hundreds of sprites
sometimes.

Subject: Re: ICE trigger animation?
Just one question... Why are you using a 3D App to do a 2D animation?
It just seems to me that you are using a Lamborghini engine to drive a
Volkswagen.
No disrespect to you or any of the car companies mentioned. I'm just
trying to understand your plan. It would be so simple to do in
something
like AfterEffects. I'm sure it could be done in ICE, but that would be
just
an example of learning ICE through a simple animation example.

Hi,
never learned ICE thoroughly enough to know this:
What I'd like to do is some kind of simple 2D motion graphics video
intro - an ornament pattern of rings of different sizes appears by the
effect of scaling up each single ring from 0 to 100%, and with a
'swiping' motion from left to right on the screen. Left rings appear
first, right ones last. Position of the rings always remains the same.
The ring's pattern has to look a certain way in the end (it's an
ornament).
Should I use a pointcloud to attach the ring objects to? How would I
do this?
Second, I'd like to trigger the ring's scaling animations by a null
that is 'flying by' in some way.
Is it possible to trigger animation clips by the proximity of another
object?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Eugen
