The so-called "drawn" animations are used to create complex and beautiful animations. Drawn animation consists of frames, each of which differs a bit from the other one. Plugin integrates any number of still frames located in one graphical file. At run-time plugin displays these images in sequence creating lively and beautiful animation.

Plugin settings:

Name Description
Image Image with frameset.
Image size The original dimensions of this image. Read-only settings.
Frame size Height and width settings of one frame of the animation in the image, as well as size of object on scene.
Total frames Total number of frames calculated based on image and frame sizes'. Read-only setting.
Current frame The setting is responsible for the frame that is shown now. Shots are looped, so you can specify any frame, even negative. For example, if there is only 10 frames of the animation: if you specify 24, a real 4th frame is shown, and if you specify -3 - 7th. This parameter can be animated.
Frames order The setting defines in which order to represent the frameset. This option can be changed only if image frames stand in 2 or more columns and in 2 or more rows. In cases when there is only one column or one row of frames, the value is determined automatically. There are 4 options:
  • Horizontal – frames follow each other horizontally. This order is selected by default, if the height of the image does not allow to fit in 2 rows of frames.
  • Vertical – frames follow each other vertically. This order is selected by default, if the width of the frame does not allow to fit in 2 column of frames.
  • From left to right, from top to bottom – if the frames are arranged in several rows and columns, the first to be used are horizontal frames, and as soon as it reaches the last frame in a row, it moves down to the next line.
  • From top to bottom, from left to right – if the frames are arranged in several rows and columns, the first to be used are vertical frames, and as soon as it reaches the last frame in a column, it moves right to the next row.
Retina This setting allows you to enable high definition mode for corresponding screens, and the physical size of an object will be reduced by 4 times. This setting is available only if the image size and the frame size are even (divided by 2 without remainder).
