Feature Request - Better Timing
« on: August 19, 2014, 10:06:36 AM »
I bring a few efffects from Nutcracker into LSP, it works great.  I have one request and/or a way you can possibly do it now is to get better timing.  So say you want an effect 5.4 seconds long, right now you can't it can only be 5 or 6 seconds, hoping to get a little better timing if possible.

Thanks

You can create an animation sequence that is 5.4 seconds long inputting the value of 5.4 when you select the file open then 'New animation sequence'.

What version of Nutcracker are you running? This option is in the latest version 3.4.11.

I'm running 3.4.11  When I try the period I get an invalid character popup, only allows me to put round number in.

That needs to be reported as an error.

I just tried it using 10.5 seconds in that box and I guess the second box is not working yet.

I was hoping for Sean to also give us a beginning and ending time for exporting a sequence/model as well.

I just fixed this in release 3.4.12

3.4.11   Aug 19, 2014
   -ENH (sean) 4th Open option of Nuctacrker, "New Animation Sequence", now allows fractional times. Before
      only values like "10,11,15" were allowed. Now "10.123,11.32123,15.2"
