Animating a UI?

DekeDeke Posts: 1,631

I guess there isn't a dedicated Animation forum anymore, so I'll post this here.  Has anyone animated a user interface in Daz 4.8? I have the Shuttlestar model and it really begs for a cool animated UI on all those sleek monitor panels.  Any how-to ideas?

    Have you tried either of these products? 

    Animated Textures Script for DAZ Studio

    or

    Animated Textures Plug In for DAZ Studio

    The second one is only for DAZ Studio 3. I remembered them from my wish list.

     

    I don't really know of any other way to do it without them, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

    Thanks for that suggestion. INteresting product.  Their sample video has a Lone Ranger scene and I take it they made the screen image an emitter somehow to cast light on the boy watching.  This product would render an animated UI into the scene, but the real question is how to create that UI in the first place. My current thinking is to copy UI screens into a scene in After Effects, but rendering as part of a scene with interactive lights would be nice.
