Animation and Alcscripting....

[andylegate]

or should we call it prp-alcscripting now??? heheh

Just wanted to comment here: As to the scripting to just have something moving all the time, IE Birds circling, gears turning, etc, piece O cake! Thanks guys!

Now, on to my keypad......WOOF! That's a LOT of scripting I have to do as it's 9 buttons.....wow.....BUT:

I have to admit this will STILL be a LOT easier than doing it all with Python like we were trying to do before.

Thanks guys!!!

probably "prpscripting" would be better now

(or "PuPRPScripting" )

I've been working on for the past couple of months a script for Blender that would convert a bezier path to a set of IPO curves.

That I think is what you're wanting isn't it?

The code is incomplete and is still a work in progress, but it kinda works as is.

The idea is to make it even easier to have constantly moving objects than just using the "I" key and selecting LOC/ROT

If you do use my script, can ya let me know how it goes for you?

Suggestions, comments and opinions are quite welcome, just follow the link above.

If it works practically, it may be an idea to combine the script into pyprp itself.
Would that be ok with you?

I'm ok with that, there is just of couple of things,

I havn't got to putting in banking, that will come later after just straight locations

Also I plan on releasing this to the Blender community in general as its a missing feature of Blender that should be standard


When this script is finished it will host many many applications from a flock of flying birds that bank to simulating a binary star system eg imagine Teledahn scope puzzle but with 2 stars to focus on
