Lottie vector animation

[lalalandsynth]

You can get some nice looking stuff with combining png overlays on top of Vectors . That obviously means that you can use "large" png , scalable static images that will not take that much space.

@Christoph-Hart Been trying out Keyshape and its very promising but I am always having a problem with the rLottie crashing on larger more involved animations .

This is obviously quite large so I tried to do this one part at a time , still just crashes.

Any chance of having a look at that or is there another way of bringing in vector animations?

@lalalandsynth Effectively this animation is less than 134000 characters long :)

But honestly, something like that can be done in Hise with a paintRoutine (or several)
It's not really easy but doable

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk Yes, this is extremely large but it also crashes on much simpler ones.
I also exported just parts of it but still crashed.

@ustk said in Lottie vector animation:

In Keyshape ...it easy ;)

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth If it crashes with smaller animations, it's maybe because some processes are not Hise friendly.
I know nothing of Lottie files, but I remember that some processes (like shading, transparency or something I don't imagine...) can lead to some incompatibilities.
Don't ask, that's all I know :)

So maybe you should begin with fewer processes and bring them one by one so you know what is incompatible (and tell us :) )

@ustk Will do , I am experimenting :)

This does not work.

This Works. https://lottiefiles.com/share/Nk5rGv

So one these shapes below work , but not multiple so either it cannot handle larger files or it has a problem with them overlapping ? Trying two of them next

Ok tried two and it crashes , I have seen much more elaborate animations in HISE that work.
So this works

But this does not , only a small addition.

Tried this to check if it was the overlap, that does not seem to be the issue .
Conclusion so far . One shape works , as soon as I add another , non overlapping , the rLottie app crashes when I copy the json into it.

Certainly this is a much more complex animation then I am making but this works ?

@lalalandsynth Anyone been using this with any luck ?

Setting this up again with the needed apps , After FX - Bodymovin for exporting from After FX as Rlottie and Overlord to import into After FX from Illustrator.

The Rlottie converter crashes a LOT , It seem to have to do with the file size of the Json , would it be possible to know what are the limits , if there are limits to the file size. It hard to do any animation and not knowing if it will convert or not.

@lalalandsynth I've seen that some time ago and it seems very cool, but the pricing is a deal-breaker...

[lalalandsynth]

Yes, agreed .
Have you used any Lottie stuff so far ?

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth Nope, I make my vectors using Hise paths, but I might improve them with Lottie in the future...
