Pause envelope generator
-
@camilozk
you can tether multiple Ease in-out 2D actors (using the 'complete' trigger to start the next one) as if each one were a segment. -
true. it is possible to draw a very complex envelope with multiple Ease in-out 2D actors, but then it gets again really complicated to pause the whole chain of Ease in-out 2D actors -
Hello,
I just discover the post and I also search a way to have an envelope working like the command on a lightning desk:– possibility to start/pause resume– possibility to accelerate/decelerate/go backwardEach time I give a class about Isadora, that is one of the first question when we make the first video player with automated fade, how to stop it? to go backward?I tried to do that with user actor using envelope, with duration, it can works, but not easy to use for begginers.It could be a great value to have that, easy to use in the tools, hello Mark and brave developers!jhoepffner -
this one will deal with the timing and resets itself after one pass -
Pretty clever
-
I make another proposition, with start/stop/resume/accel/decel/invert, it's a prototype, but show what I would find in a super envelope actor…
It's necessary to use the movie included (100 second 1 pixel movie). -
@m_theater hurra - this is genious - thanks for this idea - isadora life is going on
-
There's also Ease In-Out 2D which is like an envelope Generator.
Pros:
- Built-in curvature
- Pause, Resume, and Trigger inputs
- Can change two values at once (it says X and Y but you can use them for whatever)
Cons:
- Unlike an Envelope Generator, it can only have one "segment"
-
@woland - thanks a lot - this possibility is great too - however in my case i create a scene, where a satellite is circling round the moon - so I need four segments to let the object fly in a circle - I looped the envelopes by retriggering themselves - but then how can I stop the loop
- captured in the endless universe ! -

@michel - sorry for my delayed answer - the gate actor is perfect for stopping the whole process - but the envelope actor doesn't stop - so i found a solution with the pulse generator - i cannot stop and go whereever i want, but at least I can do that "behind the curtain"
- if anybody is interested how to control a satellite in universe

my proposal for your problem:
EDIT: a better version than the first I posted (pause/resume works better)

@jfg - this is perfect - thanks a lot - the communication in this community is wonderful - what a luck to be part of it - i will study your proposal for being prepared for my next fly to universe
-
It'd be great if you could share these example files on the Add-Ons page so that they can be found more easily by others in future
Best wishes,
Woland

@woland thanks for the tip - i did it
