New Animated Title: Exploding Text

Thanks, that looks great :)

We'll take a look at it as soon as we can.

Yop there is a bug in the addon file... some initialization fails... just look à the blend file for now. I will fix it today

Yop,not really a bug, in fact you need to type some text the first time in the "text" entry to initialize the TextExplodeString Scene variable!

I need to put a try catch here !

Trendemous. that looks very great.
Thanks a lot Yann.

Arf not so tremendous... just an application of the "quick explode" effect with some tuning... as in http://cgcookie.com/blender/2011/12/02/tip-creating-quick-explosions/

The only idea was to apply it to a text and script it to make it automatic ;-)

En tout cas, ça en jette :-)

Tu rêves pas, moi j'connaissais pas blender ya quelques mois... alors si tu es motivé et que tu as du temps (c'est là que ça coince le plus souvent!!!) et bien c'est faisable... la communauté est super...

peut être le titre suivant : http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?218407-Softbody-text-problem ça à l'air bien, faut que j'étudie :-)

En effet, c'est pas mal. Vas-y, étudie......................

Et comme tu dis, là où ça coince c'est (déjà) vraiment le temps. Et c'est
pas prêt de s'arranger pour moi, au moins cette année vu que je fais
construire (et que cela durera toute l'année) ................

Hi Ian,
I would love to include the exploding text animation in the next version of OpenShot, but the attached files need a lot of work to get them into the correct format for our "Animated Titles" feature. Now that you have figured out the format, it would be great if you could adapt this animation, and re-attach he files. I would recommend starting with a similar XML file (perhaps fly in 1 line), and try and keep most of the font parameters, size parameters, etc... but then integrate your exploding script. However, this needs to be completed ASAP or we can't include it in 1.4.3. Please let me know if I can assist. Thanks!

Yann, Sorry I've been getting your name wrong. I just assumed your name was Ian from your username, and didn't connect who you really were in my mind. =) Thanks again for all your hard work!

No problem, don't care ;-).
Yes I can assist. I 'm going to find time ... the nights becomes longer in France now ;-). Perhaps, after this integration, I will write an "how to " integrate titles.
Is there a hard deadline? When?

Saturday evening for us.

Hey guys, you're rude ;-)... But let's try :-D

Yep, here is a first usable version of text explode :

tested with blender 2.62 and the bzr 1.4.3 of openshot (Animation speed stuff is added to explode animation too)

Zip file contains all the required file

Thanks for the great animation! Committed to bzr and tested. Seems to require Blender 2.61+, so I will need to remember to update the Blender version in our packaging and documentation.

I've found a bug in my explode script with ground management. If you unselect ground and after reselect, the script run into an error :

>>> bpy.data.objects['Ground'].modifiers.keys()[0] != 'Collision'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range

it comes from my 'collision' test which is wrong :

You can change at line 146

if bpy.data.objects['Ground'].modifiers.keys()[0] != 'Collision':

by
if bpy.data.objects['Ground'].modifiers.items() == []:

it works better

Yann

So you can replace the whole test by this code :

if ground=='1':
    bpy.data.objects['Ground'].hide_render = False
    bpy.data.objects['Ground'].hide = False
    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
    #selecting Text
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.data.objects['Ground']
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active.select = True
    #if bpy.data.objects['Ground'].modifiers.keys()[0] != 'Collision':
    if bpy.data.objects['Ground'].modifiers.items() == []:
        print("collision = empty")
        bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type="COLLISION")
    else:
        print("OK")
else:
    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
    #selecting Text
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active = bpy.data.objects['Ground']
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active.select = True
    bpy.ops.object.modifier_remove(modifier="Collision")
    bpy.data.objects['Ground'].hide = True
    bpy.data.objects['Ground'].hide_render = True

I made a mistake : it works with Openshot, because it uses the original blend file at each time you make a modification. And in this file, the ground is active and "collidable" at start, so my test is never made. But with the blend file you have a problem, when you start with an animation without the ground!

Sorry for the lost of time

Yann
