Adding a progress bar to an animation

[S Kolo]

An easter egg I thought I'd share (as it took me a bit to get my head around).

For context - This is for the Temporal Controller and handy for exporting out to individual images that can be stacked to form an animation.

I toyed for a while and eventually figured out how to add a Progress Bar at the bottom

This is part of the Copyright label decoration

Setup a copyright label (footer)

Create an expression

Use

And paste the following

concat ('Progress: ',

repeat('▓', floor(@frame_number * 30 / (@total_frame_count - 1))),

repeat('░', 30 - floor(@frame_number * 30 / (@total_frame_count - 1))),

' ', round(@frame_number * 100 / (@total_frame_count - 1)), '%')

This sets a background character of ░ and then uses the ▓ character to show progress. The bar is 30 characters long. You could vary this length if desired (within reason).

Its quite cool I think.

Cheers,

Shaun

That's clever Shaun! Really cool.
