Stop Motion Animation controllers? - SteveDeeGreen - 09-21-2024
Hi,
I was looking around to see if there was a way to set frame rates on controllers to be on 2s when the scene is on 1s - e.g. 12fps vs 24fps?
I noticed there is a tyRateOfChangeController, but not sure if that's what I'm looking for?
I was playing with some toon rendering and had duplicate meshes boiling an outline on 2s using a noise modifier, and also offsetting the texture map with a noise controller
(Maybe something with the tymesher might work better for the mesh?)
The reason I don't just set the scene to 12fps is it's common to keep the camera on 1s.
Thanks,
Steve

tyRateOfChange wouldn't be the right solution, no. That's just a controller to have a value change at a constant rate over time.
You could use a tyMesher and then animate the reference frame in a stepped manner, I suppose, to simulate posterizing the time.
I don't really see this as something I would personally add a dedicated controller for, since it's so niche.

Cheers, no worries - yeah, I think the Tymesher would be the approach I'd take + a stepped phase on materials/shader offsets
That also sparked the idea of using the simulation retimer in TyFlow itself but stepped to every x frame without having to pop it through a TyMesher
Thanks again!
