Binding properties of two different layers in Ventuz

Post by kberraho » 13 May 2016, 20:57

How to bind properties of two different layers in Ventuz?

Example :
Layer1 one has an animation inside
Layer2 one has an animation inside

Objective : Trigger one animation in one layer using the other animation in the other layer?

Thanks in advance.

hi,

expose the animation control (begin / next etc.) of animation2.
bind an event in animation 1. fire the event when its needed.
expose the output of the event node.

switch to logic desktop of ventuz.
choose both layhers and bind the output of the event to the controls of animation2 at layher2.

cheers
sven

Ok, triggering is solved.

But, how to bind a layer property-node to an animation in another layer? It's only possible with main-animation?
My workaround is binding it first to a value-node, this value-node then to animation.
And for my brain I miss the visualization of logical connections between layers (menues not found yet?)

Mhh... I'm old and stupid and I love the workflow of V4 :D
Nevertheless V5 is nice in performance and new features.
Thanks, Stephan

Hi Stephan,

do you have a small example scene? I don't really get your question ;)

Well you can get the "layer interconnections" visible by just clicking on a "layer" (not the pencil). You will see in the Content Editor: "Layer Level" in orange.
If you have bound properties between layers, you will see the "bindings"... same goes for the content nodes, which are bound to the Layers. If you bound a Mover to any of the Layer Properties... e.g. "Layout -> percentage -> X" and you click the layer level, you will see the bindings, node, and even the "layer" as a node...

Hope that helps a bit :)

Have a look here:
i bound the X of the 2D Layer to a Mover, bound the X from the 3D Layer to the X of the 2D Layer..
in the Contentarea you see the bindings...

Hi Christian & Dennis,

firstly, thanks for spending your time, and sorry for late response.
Can't really connect the layer properties Dennis. Maybe the reason is version 5.00.02, did'nt updated yet :roll:

I will check it again and sign up later.

Danke, Stephan

See my simple example, the problem concerns only to animation-binding.
I'm sure it's my fault, but where is the logical/thinking error?
