I'm new to Anim8or, and this forum. I posted a script "animated_waves.a8s" yesterday.
In my waves script there is a time field to allow moving waves to be animated.
I was wondering if there is a way to automate the animation. What I have read on the forum so far indicates I cannot get the frame number or scene time passed to the script. There was a post on animating a flame, which involved having numbered flame image files which a script read in.
Would a possibility be to write a script that saved a series of wave objects as a sequence of .stl files? Is this idea sound, but a different file format would be better?
Has anything like this been done before that I could crib from? I.e. where a form changes as a function of time or frame number?
Any guidance / recommendations?
Thanks,
John
