The definition script box is ticked - and when I run the game and try to press x to skip the cutscene, after quitting (without using esc to skip the cutscene), I get:12:33:26.239:Engine Version: 5.0.6 (Build 1197 from Build date: Jun 25 2018)12:33:26.239:Time needed for preloading game: 14 msec12:33:26.239:No config.ini in /Users/laurentgehin/Library/Application Support/VisionaireStudio/STM0006_0219//config.ini12:33:26.275:Initializing graphics interface.

Interesting, though that's way too much documentary for me to watch.The popping camera he mentioned, you can do that easily with the shader toolkit camera functions. You should also be able to easily pan, zoom, rotate & follow too - you may need to code a safeguard in to prevent the camera from being able to pan past the scene background; unless Simon already sorted that out?Lip sync is easy too as Simon implemented support for Rhubarb Lip Sync which uses the hanna-barbera mouth shape system, which compromises of mouth shapes A-H & X for the idle mouth shape. You can also create custom tsv lip sync files manually if you want & assign animation frame numbers instead of the mouth shape letters in case you want to add special gestures or mood based talking animations.I too would really like to see an internal sprite part/bone rigging animation system. If VS had one built in then it would be perfect - I doubt it would be anything as complex as Spine with mesh warping & all that, but even a basic bone rigging & keyframe animation system with the ability to swap out sprite parts at run time would likely be more than enough, I think? Here's hoping it gets implemented at some point. In the meantime, maybe Simon could look into implementing actual support for DragonBones models for people that don't have the money to purchase Spine - I don't have that kind of money either.

Hi Simon, please check out Broken Age, and the 2d characters as well as the dynamic camera that behaves more like a traditional cartoon/film. Compare that with Pillars of the Earth, and you'll realize how dynamic and freeflowing Broken Age is compared to the very static looking Daedalic's camera and scene movement.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f41P6fDl9jsToday I tried to import the sample character of the Blender COA tools add-on found here:https://github.com/ndee85/coa_toolsThe sample blend file is stip.blend in the sample file directory. I couldn't get it to work. I tried Collada (old original Blender exporter), but things are missing. I tried the newer Godot Engine collada exporter for Blender, but nothing shows up. (get the new Collada exporter here: https://godotengine.org/download/windows)Basically, I just want to be able to import flat animated cut-out characters with multiple animations, similar to Broken Age, and preferably have things such as lip sync done more or less automatically (this last thing is probably not possible, but I can deal with that in Blender if need be). Having better camera control would be nice too. I wasn't aware of the shader toolkit, and will investigate further - but a quick glance tells me that every camera move must be coded. Ideally Visionaire would allow for real controllable 2d animateable camera objects. It would be nice if the camera could work in layers for parallax effects. Again, check out Broken Age.The other thing I'd say Visionaire would truly benefit from, is an animation timeline to animate and tween anything (characters, background items, objects, cameras, and so on) and fire events, similar to Godot's animation timeline, or Unity's timeline - even simple rigged 2d characters. But now I am dreaming, I suppose.

You are using custom shaders for the shadows? Can you post the script/screenshots please?We use a shader to control a character called SHADOW that follow the main character just to simulate his own shadow. Here is the code:local pos  function setCharacterShadow()  if Characters["shadow"].Scene:getName() ~= game.CurrentCharacter.Scene:getName() then Characters["shadow"].Scene = game.CurrentCharacter.Scene end  if game.CurrentScene:getName() == game.CurrentCharacter.Scene:getName() and game.CurrentScene:getName() == Characters["shadow"].Scene:getName() then   pos = game.CurrentCharacter.Position   Characters["shadow"].Position = { x = pos.x, y = (pos.y - 10) }  end end  registerEventHandler("mainLoop", "setCharacterShadow")And then Call Script "Shadow" to activate itWe try to make a clear new game with the same character that isn't visible in our adventure ( without shadow) and everything is ok...

at least a snippet how to bind the "ready ones" e.g. from shadertoolkit10 to single Objects would be nice.I found an old example but it did not work in V5. On the hole screen they work well.https://wiki.visionaire-tracker.net/wiki/Compiled_Index_of_Lua_Scripts_for_Visionaire_Studio#Shader_Toolkit_FunctionsWhat i tried so far:local eff="ripple1" -- effect name-- the following lines are to make sure the shader is compiled, -- a shader is mini program, that needs to be compiled to use itshaderAddEffect(eff)shaderRemoveEffect(eff)-- this is a standard setting, the shader has a variable that is called strength, we set that to 1shader_effects[eff].num.strength=1-- also for any animation inside the shader, it needs the time, -- so we bind the variable time in the shader to our timebind(eff, "time", field("shader_iTime"))shaderSetOptions({{shader = shader_effects[eff].num(), comp_dst=5, comp_src=4 }}, 1)-- simplest thing of them, set the object "target_object" to the effect channel 1Scenes.stadtpark_see.Objects.gfx_see_wasser.ShaderSet = 1andlocal eff = "ripple1"local obj = "gfx_see_wasser"shaderRemoveEffect(eff)shaderAddEffect(eff)bind(eff, "time", field("getTime()*0.001"))shader_effects[eff] = { shader = Shaders[eff].Compiled }Objects[obj].ShaderSet = shader_effects[eff].num.num has anybody a working example?
