Hello everyone,
I have created the following displays in Cinema 4D for Iclone 8.
In Cinema 4D it is possible to program the display values to fluctuate between a minimum and maximum value. Is it possible to program something like that in Iclone 8? I have the PopcornFX tool, which contains something like that, but not everything I need.
Many greetings
Peter
It would indeed be nice to have but currently there is no straightforward option to do so. There is a digital display in the Market Place, but that requires animating the changing of values (it has a built-in Performance for each number change), so it is kind of a hassle. I needed a variety of dynamic displays and because I knew the timing I created them as videos using After Effects.
RL has just opened a thread for wishful plugins so something like that might be nice if it could be done in Python.
Not shure if i understand correctly what you want to achieve. Cant you record a video eg with OBS, scale it properly then use it as diffuse map on a small plane. At least you could simulate a counter this way.
PopcornFX has a timer that dynamically updates with the position of the timeline. So, 1 second in it would show 00:00:01, at 2 seconds it would show 00:00:00:02, etc.
That’s what the OP is after, I believe, but more general purpose.
Yes, that would also have been my alternative. But it’s not ideal for me. I would then record the video in C4D and import it accordingly.
I have PopcornFX. But there is only this one option. What is missing, for example, is a counter that counts down from 100% to 0%. Or a display that fluctuates between two predefined values.
Actually, something like this should be very easy to solve using Python. You can also download the files directly. I have already tried that. Download the file and simply import it into Iclon. But I didn’t succeed.
Best regards

Set a key for each value from 100 to 0 or 0 to 100 on the timeline, then loop it. I can imagine that may work.
I could certainly do that too. But it seems very time-consuming and outdated to me. Especially as I think it should be easy to implement with Python. Unfortunately, I have no experience of how to implement a Python script in Iclone so that it works. The language itself is not that difficult.
Best regards
Peter
