Playing Back Voxel Movies in Voxel Scenes

In Foxel, you can enhance your Voxel Scenes by adding and playing back Voxel Movies. This is achieved through the use of Reference objects, which allow you to integrate your animations seamlessly into your scenes.

Steps to Add and Play Back a Voxel Movie

  1. Create a Voxel Movie: Start by creating your Voxel Movie, ensuring it contains the frames you want to use.

  2. Open Voxel Scene: Navigate to the Voxel Scene where you want to incorporate the Voxel Movie.

  3. Open Voxel Movie Tab on Assets Panel: Access the Assets Panel and select the Voxel Movie tab to view your available movies.

  4. Drag and Drop Movie onto Scene View: Drag your Voxel Movie from the Asset Panel and drop it into the Scene View. This action creates a Movie Reference object and assigns the selected movie to it.

Setting Up Playback

Once you have added the Movie Reference to your Voxel Scene, you can control the playback of the animation:

  • Set Displayed Frame: In the Inspector, you can set the displayed frame of the Movie Reference to determine which frame is currently visible in the scene.

  • Playback Animation: To play back the animation, create a channel for the frame property of the Movie Reference. You can then set keyframes to control the displayed frame over time, allowing for dynamic playback of your Voxel Movie within the scene.

    For detailed instructions on creating channels and setting keyframes, refer to the Keyframe Animation section.


By following these steps, you can effectively integrate Voxel Movies into your Voxel Scenes, adding depth and interactivity to your voxel projects.
