Here is a demonstration of how to make a knob in blender , the basic procedure , showing that its quite simple.
Not a tutorial that you could follow as such but might raise some questions that I would be happy to answer.

I plan to do some proper tutorials in an attempt at giving back to this great forum
If anyone is interested that is ? Could also do a tutorial on Photoshop to After fx as well as Illustrator to After fx for vectors.

Impulse madness!

I dont know of a tutorial , was planning to make one myself.
I will attempt to explain.

First off you want the dimensions of the knob to fit your preexisting interface. you could always render at high res and then reduce the size of the knob to fit but lets say you need them to fit.

Say you have a basic interface , in photoshop for example.
Say your interface is 894x700 (just an example)

Set you resolution to those numbers.
Open that image in blender ( Import image as planes)
Place that image , set up a camera that captures the dimensions of the interface.( dont resize the plane , model on that and if you set the correct render dimensions it will fit your interface) I am using camera in orthographic mode and you need to make sure it fits the plane to get the correct size render.

Now you model the Knob and keyframe it 128 frames for example.

You would like to catch the shadow as well in the render but not see the plane or the background so set the plane to shadow catcher. Object data -Visibility-Shadow catcher.
To get a transparent background , render properties Film-Transparent.

So, now if you would render you would get a tiny knob somewhere in the 894x700 frame.
You dont want that , so what you do is go into output properties set file format to PNG , RGBA to get the transparency in the output , click on RENDER REGION and CROP TO RENDER REGION, important !
Then you use CTRLB to select a region for the render , that way it will only render the part you have selected resulting in a smaller image but on that will fit the dimensions.

Select an output folder then hit Render animation !
Open the pngs in something like GlueIt, set rows to one , glue , save !

@Natanr Yes, I will make a proper tutorial with a voiceover and key commands shown , guess I am checking interest ?

Pimping.

My Logan String machine GUI.

Work in progress.

This is my next sample based organ, the 1965 Klavinett IE 40 Tube Organ - Extremely rare Swedish Organ.
First I need to restore the instrument , I am missing 4 notes at the moment but I think I have found the problem.
As soon as its up and running I am sampling it !
Bunch of Tubes !

Animation test .

Making a Knobstrip from Blender.

My remake of the Korg Delta , this will actually be an hardware modification.

Additions to the original synth include:

Backlit knobs and LED sliders.
18 waveform LFO with bend , sample and hold - goes to audio rate.
New ADSR with looping capabilities.
MIDI In/Out , with retriggering and filter control.
Filter Input and Envelope follower.
Epoxy Semi Transparent Side panels.
Paint job and Re-screenprint front panel.

Why not make into a plugin as well
Tricky to make a TOG synth I guess but worth a try.

Has the export issue been solved yet ?

I never had any real luck with this unless its very simple animations.
Mostly it crashes on converting the lottie file.

When moved in realtime then ? Because I have experienced that.

@Jerems134 The render area needs to be a bit larger so it does not crop the shadow that you want rendered.
You then need to work with your lighting so it does not cast an overall shadow , and thereby cause the cropped area to have the gray (shadow) color. If you have problems with that you can always just use photoshop and erase the gray area and leave the shadow.

I will show an example tomorrow

@SteveRiggs said in Credit where credit is due :

've added all of you legends into the about pages on all of the plugi

Awesome !
Congrats !

@iamlamprey No, not with the approach I was using , but I think I stumbled upon a working odd/even harmonics setup somewhere, somehow.

let me check my snippets .

Agreed !

This is needed , as it stands you cannot select a preset to save over , as soon as you click it , it loads.
You should be able to load preset 1 , select preset 3 and save over it .

@sakorada In this case if you want fancier graphics then vectors I would probably combine them.
I would use vectors to reveal the png or in other words , the png site under the vectors and as you drag vectors the png is revealed.

@musictop I think the solution for this is to have 4 sliders , 2 for synced and 2 for unsynced.

Try this.

Left and right delay times are named SyncSldr and UnSyncSldr.

const var Sync = Content.getComponent("Sync");
const var SyncSldr = Content.getComponent("SyncSldr");
const var UnSyncSldr = Content.getComponent("UnSyncSldr");
const var SyncSldr1 = Content.getComponent("SyncSldr1");
const var UnSyncSldr1 = Content.getComponent("UnSyncSldr1");
const var lftFeedback = Content.getComponent("lftFeedback");
const var RghtFeedback1 = Content.getComponent("RghtFeedback1");
const var delayMix = Content.getComponent("delayMix");
const var delOnOff = Content.getComponent("delOnOff");







const var Delay1 = Synth.getEffect("Delay1");






inline function onSyncControl(component, value)
{

	Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.TempoSync,value);
	if(value)
	{
        UnSyncSldr.showControl(false);
        UnSyncSldr1.showControl(false);
        SyncSldr.showControl(true);
        SyncSldr1.showControl(true);
        SyncSldr.changed();
        SyncSldr1.changed();

	}else{
        UnSyncSldr.showControl(true);
        UnSyncSldr1.showControl(true);
        SyncSldr.showControl(false);
        SyncSldr1.showControl(false);
        UnSyncSldr.changed();
        UnSyncSldr1.changed();
		
	}

	
};

Content.getComponent("Sync").setControlCallback(onSyncControl);




inline function onUnsyncSldrControl(component, value)
{

    if (Sync.getValue() == 0)
    {
	   // Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeLeft,value);
	    Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeRight,value);
    }
};

Content.getComponent("UnSyncSldr").setControlCallback(onUnsyncSldrControl);



inline function onUnsyncSldr1Control(component, value)
{

    if (Sync.getValue() == 0)
    {
	    Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeLeft,value);
	   // Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeRight,value);
    }
};

Content.getComponent("UnSyncSldr1").setControlCallback(onUnsyncSldr1Control);

{
	if (Sync.getValue() == 1)
    {
	    //Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeLeft,value);
	    Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeRight,value);
    }
};

Content.getComponent("SyncSldr").setControlCallback(onSyncSldrControl);


inline function onSyncSldr1Control(component, value)
{
	if (Sync.getValue() == 1)
    {
	    Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeLeft,value);
	    //Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.DelayTimeRight,value);
    }
};

Content.getComponent("SyncSldr1").setControlCallback(onSyncSldr1Control);



inline function onlftFeedbackControl(component, value)
{
	Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.FeedbackLeft, value);
};

Content.getComponent("lftFeedback").setControlCallback(onlftFeedbackControl);




inline function onRghtFeedback1Control(component, value)
{
	Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.FeedbackRight, value);
};

Content.getComponent("RghtFeedback1").setControlCallback(onRghtFeedback1Control);




inline function ondelayMixControl(component, value)
{
	Delay1.setAttribute(Delay1.Mix, value);
};

Content.getComponent("delayMix").setControlCallback(ondelayMixControl);


inline function ondelOnOffControl(component, value)

	Delay1.setBypassed(1- value );
};

Content.getComponent("delOnOff").setControlCallback(ondelOnOffControl);

@Lindon said in Scriptnode Compressor. Gain reduction panel?:

ny one work out how to show the realtime gain reduction from either the Compressor FX or the scriptnode version??
Clearly I dont know what I'm doing here...

Here is one for the Compressor FX .
