Thanks Yuri,

It if not for publication, can I email the link to you separately please?

Which email should I use?

Thanks

Aha, ok I think I worked it out with this puzzle fixed combo.

The camera doesn’t jump forward anymore when I click on the html button or the cube, which I also set to play the same camera move.

Onto setting each animation sequence to play with each camera now :)

Hi Yuri,

Some progress indeed, however I am wondering how to get around this issue.

Please take a look at this explanation demo:

https://cdn.soft8soft.com/AROAJSY2GOEHMOFUVPIOE:3e2fade9b1/applications/camera%20animated%20test/camera%20animated%20test.html

I hoped I could just jump from one section of the blender timeline to another with corresponding cameras set (in blender) for each sequence on the timeline and then add menu buttons in verge to simply jump to each animated camera movements on the blender timeline using the clone animation puzzle as suggested.

This test (link above) worked ok with the cameras that only had 2 key frames of movement. However as soon as I add more keyframes for new positions for the camera, the movements get skewed after the first run through during playback in the verge model.

In this demo you can see cameras 1,2 and 3 are all as expected and if I click on the same button half way through the camera move, the view snaps back to the first keyframe position of that camera and plays out to the second key camera position.

However, with camera 4. On first click it all appears to run through ok as the camera moves in a circle around the set. However, if I click the menu button for it again and interrupt the play to begin it again, the camera is now displaced and becomes increasingly so as the animation plays out.

What am I doing wrong please? Screen shot below and blender file attached.

Also, if I set certain animation sequences to happen at different times on the timeline, is it not possible to only have those animations occur if I tell that part of the timeline to play, otherwise I want the animations to remain static? Does the blender timeline always play from start to finish regardless or can I control this more please?

Many thanks Yuri. I am an imminent Licensee I promise, this is a great tool

best,

Jas

Ok thanks Yuri.

I must be missing something though, because I have different cameras set to markers at different times on the timeline. When I use clone animation I cannot get consistent jumps using html buttons from one section of played time to the other, despite setting active camera and look at camera target empty for each.

I am using standard blender cameras and empties as their targets, but have not parented them in blender as am setting that in verge with set active camera and look at puzzles.

I saw someone else say you have to parent an animated camera to an empty to make work properly. Is this true?

Is there a preferred method as feel like I am over complicating this? I expected using the clone animation with click operations to simply jump to each set time sequence if set with appropriate camera and target for each? I tried if not operations too turn off the other sequences if playing, but camera never resets to start of next clicked sequence?

Many thanks,

Jas

Ok, so I tried the on event method with body and document and while I can get it to jump to another camera, it always reverts back to the multiple tweening cameras which continue jumping to one after the other on a loop.

Using animation stop and pause also have no effect on the multiple camera tweens, whether I place them in a procedure or not.

I just don’t understand why, when using the timer puzzle with multiple tween camera puzzles, it only plays between the first two cameras? If the timer puzzle played the whole list, then the problem would be solved easily.

Am I missing something (apart from a useful brain ) as to why the timer doesn’t allow multiple tween cameras please as shown in my previous screen grab?

Many thanks again, I’m starting to feel like a pain, but am so close to finishing this now I promise

Jas

Ok, I’ve got it now, thanks.

Here is how to do it if any use to anyone else in future.

Thanks again.

Hi Yuri,

Apologies to bug you on this, but wondered if I am close with this solution please.

See screen grab of the puzzle I think will solve my issues above if I can just finish it off.

If I use the event “when clicked” I can set the “if missed” option to stop the multiple camera tweening.

However, I cannot work out how to assign an html button id named “play-world” in my html file and turn it into an object that I can slot into the “when clicked” puzzle at the top.

You can see the html puzzles I have had a play with (attached), but no combination seems to make the “when clicked” command work when I click on the html button in the viewer.

I tried using the other Html “on event of ‘click'”, but it does not have the “if” missed option, because there is no “if missed option” like the Event “when clicked” option. Unless there is a workaround for this too?

Any suggestion how I can make my html id into an object recognised in the “when clicked” and I think I am there.

Many thanks,

Jas

Thanks Mikhail,

For some reason I was assuming there was a turn off all other annotations puzzle function that might have been easier than creating a list for the 16 annotations I am making and implementing on every annotation action by removing each relevant from the list.

Not so bad once I have made the list to re-use.

Thanks for letting me know this is the way to go.

I’ve attached a screen grab with it now working if of any use to anyone else in the future.

Best wishes,

Jas
