animated sequences import?

[Jeff Thomson]

might be interesting and dynamic if I could try feeding in an animated sequence as a chemical attribute...

could this be an option or something to explore in future? 

also I think the image import in general has issues in v0.8 as it works as expected in v.7

Hi Jeff,

This is something that can potentially be done using a new Houdini Digital Asset integration for Ready files that I have developed (It is not in a Ready release yet but you can get the HDAs on our GitHub), to get it going probably requires some familiarity with Houdini, but I can assist you with with that if you're keen? :).

With the HDAs you should be able to import an existing VTI (that you wish to apply an animated sequence of images to) into the rdyHoudini plugin, prepare the image sequence as an additional volume field in the simulation and then add the requisite houdini nodes (various Dops can do the job) to import the animated field and use it to apply whatever changes that you wish to make to the existing reagent (or parameter) values, over time. Depending what kind of data/images you want to record, you might end up wanting a Houdini-Indie license, but even without that it should be possible to extract pretty-much anything you want from Houdini, even if it takes a python script to get it done :)

That's no good about image imports not working for you at all in 0.8, maybe there's a specific image-reading lib that is required?

I realized that I haven't even got v0.8 installed, only a v0.7 from before the image loading feature was added, and a (gh-pages) trunk-source that I've only been building the 'rdy' binary under!

I was about to take a look at whether it works (for me) when built from source.. but I will have to get the GUI building again for my trunk-checkout before I can check that. Will update once I get that sorted again.

Have an ace one! : )

Dan
