vrmesh proxy animate current frame

[tinuz]

Hi,

What would be superhandy is if we could plug an animation curve into the vrmesh (currentframe?) that would tell the vrmesh which frame from the .vrmesh sequence to display at a certain frame in the timeline.
We would use this mostly for offsetting, reversing and holding a frame.
If this is already possible please let me know!
thnx..

this is more or less the same as what i've requested here: http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbu...sh-hold-frames

Hi,

The comment from Vlado is still true. This feature is a bit hard to implement, because of the Motion Blur support in the VRMeshes.
We're thinking what could be done, but it won't be implement any time soon.

Can I ask why do you need this feature?

I needed it because I needed to freeze a realflow simulation for a couple of frames, and then continue with the simulation.
i did this on the realflow bin files by connecting a custom attribute 'frame' into the current frame of the realflow mesh source.
but yeah the reason for using vrmeshes was motion blur..
but again, it's not a showstopper
thanks anyway!
