I can’t edit my current animation anymore. I use Rhino 8 and Bongo 2. Also I can’t open the keyframe editor. How can I get back the red keyframe marks at the timeline?
Also if start with a fresh empty scene: I add a simple object, enable animation and move the object. If I move the slider than I see the animated movement, but no keyframes at the time line.
Now I have found that deactivating → activating the timeline brings back the red markers. Now only the problem with the keyframe editor remains. I get no access to the parameter anymore.
You’re fast! The issue is open here. A lot of the UI tools Bongo relies on in Rhino have changed over the last version and something must have broken. We’ll hopefully have it sorted soon
No, unfortunately it’s a big complex scene with V-Ray 6 setup and I afraid, if I jump back to Rhino 7 and VfR5 I could get problems with the version backward jump. I want to keep Rhino7|VfR5. But if nothing helps I will go back, right.
I found a workaround. I copy the object from a Rhino 8 task to a Rhino 7 task (per Ctrl-C) and delete them at R8. At R7 I setup the animation. And later I copy the animated objects back to R8 (per Ctrl-V). During the paste operation I will be ask to keep or overwrite the V-Ray materials. So, I can keep the V-Ray setup without any change. Quick and easy workaround.
I haven’t. In the meantime if you undock the timeline and resize it the timeline should start updating properly and the keyframes appear. I think with the UI work on Rhino 8 something behind the scenes broke this.
The big problem is the missing parameters in the keyframe editor. I made the mistake of using Rhino 8 for production work thinking it was final, but now such an essential problem is not solved?
This seems to be a problem in Rhino 8.3 with other plug-ins as well, not just Bongo.
This UI problem has been worked on during the last week and I have the latest Rhino 8 from this morning installed, with the latest fixes, and the Bongo UI shows up in that build.
The build I was testing is the version that will become Rhino 8.5, perhaps this fix will make it into 8.4, lets see. If you’d like to try it I can send you a link to the build tomorrow. There was still some small UI fixes I wanted in before I share the build.
No, at rhino_en-us_8.4.24016.19001 it’s still not working. I don’t understand why missing parts of the UI are not immediately fixed. How should the user work, if parts of the UI are missing? Same problem for the V-Ray plugin.
