Spline Mover for Ventuz

[_aTom_]

Hiho,

you need splines for your ventuz animations?
We have a simple solution and it´s included in our ventuz 4 particle system as a stand alone tool.
Ventuz 3 is also available on request.

just export a .fbx spline from a 3d tool of your choice and see your animations moving on that imported spline.

here a small demo:

For our plugins you need to copy a .dll file on your dongle, otherwise you get some warnings

We hope you like it!

Very cool Like how you can use a fbx file for curves, ai files also would be cool and if you could edit curve points in ventuz
this is example was on youtube

Works nicely, but have had no luck with my own fbx splines out of C4D.

Tried a standard Helix shape but the Splinemover is not showing anything. Any particular settings in the fbx exporter need to be set in C4d?

Regarding the video in hgoodsirs post: I am surprised that didnt come to market when echtzeitwerk developed it. And that was 3 years ago!!

Forgot to add my fbx file. Splinemover reports it is not a valid file. Exported out of C4D v13

hi peter,

you have to create a bezier splines and export it in the ASCII Format.
See screenshot from softimage.

We test it with max, maya and softimage and it works well.

i don´t know cinema4d and i hope you get it running with the right export parameters.

creative regards,
tom
