Hi there! I’m trying to create an animation in which a door will open from one scene to the next. I’ve created the dynamic component - door works fine. When I go to create my scenes, the thumbnail in the scenes window shows the door in its different states but when I play the animation the door doesn’t move.
I’ve literally spent all day with copilot trying to get this to work. Could anyone help me please?
Many thanks
It won’t work like you expect. Dynamic component states aren’t saved with scenes. A scene thumbnail shows an image of the scene at the time it was created.
Thanks for the quick response Anssi. Is there a plugin or work around that you could suggest?
Many thanks
There is the Animator extension by Fredo6.
For something like showing a door opening in an animation it’s simple enough to make copies of the door in each position you want and give each copy its own tag. Then choose the appropriate tag to show for each scene and hide the rest.
This doesn’t use very many scenes but should give you the idea.
This is the method using tags. If you want a smooth opening just create a lot more copies and tags.
Thank you Dave
