  • 1.  Keyframing Texture coordinates

    I know we can't do this currently, but I am curious if any devs here can speak as to whether or not such a feature is planned for XPression?

    It would be nice to have any numeric value key-frameable, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    There is a work around for almost everything you could want to keyframe, though - use a dummy object (an empty group, for example), and use visual logic to tie it's animatable values to the things you want to animate. In this case you could do "DummyGroup.PosX" linked to "MyMaterial.Layer1.Texture.TextureCoords.Position.X"

    Then you are free to animate the DummyGroup's position any way you want, and the texture coords will follow.

    Texture coordinates are keyframeable in current versions of XPression.
    They are selectable in the Set Keyframe dialog as shown below.

    Well, I feel a little stupid. I remember discovering this some months ago when we first got 7, and being really happy about it. Then I was away from XPression for over a month, and completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me...
