Nutcracker: First addon !
« on: March 17, 2012, »
I am pleased to announce a new tool for the Nutcracker, not written by me.

Emmanuel has created a windows based tool that will create a Vixen profile for you based on the animations created by nutcracker

Not only has he done this in just a few days, he is now working on a profile that will show your animations in 3d in Vixen.

I only had to point him to a web site talking about world coordinates, perspective, viewpoint, physical coordinates.

The video is showing is latest, unreleased version. He figured out the 3D to 2D stuff in 1 day.

Wow, my first Nutcracker addon

Great Job Emmanuel!

Emmanuel, you are a man of few words but heavy impact.
The above youtube video shows Emmanuel's plugin for Vixen that allows you to see a 3D view of Nutcracker animations.

Emmanuel has made a dll addon for Vixen. With this addon you will be able to get a 3D preview of the vir file you just inserted into Vixen. I believe you put his dll file into your Vixen plugin/output directory?

Emmanuel, did i get the directions right?

1) go to your web page,  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, then click on 3D RGB Tree Preview Plugin.
2) unzip the file and then copy files to the plugin/output directory
3) do something else and then you get preview capability

i guess, u can tell i am fuzzy about Vixen


again, great job Emmanuel!

Hi,

On the site there is also a video of how to use the plugin an the 2 additional Addins.
  • Tree Profile Addin - will create the name and numbers for all your string and pixels.
  • Routine Loader AddIn - The standard Vixen Routine dialog cannot keep up with the amount of data the Nutcracker effects creates. I have created an Addin to help load the routines (*.vir files).
  • 3D Tree Preview Plugin - Tool to generate a 3D Cone Shape to model Mega Trees.


The Addins dll's will go into the Addins Folder and the 3D preview into Plugins/Output Folder.

Enjoy, and please let me know if you have any questions/suggestions.
