Vue F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 30 6:52 am)
Subject: noob question-animate properties?
In reference manual (page 506) is a flickering lights animation tutorial. Maybe that help too.

Quote - Just change the flare intensity at a non zero time, and it will animate.
That's what I assumed at first but I can't get it to work.
The only things I seem to be able to keyframe are Orientation, Color and Softness.

I had a look at that tutorial. I'm able to animate to Color because that's one of the properties mentioned above that it allows me to.But anything else won't.
Maybe I'm missing something.
-Thanks.

Change the light intensity will do the job. The Flare it self cant be animated.Mazak

Thanks. That's not the effect I was after though.
It seems peculiar that I can't animate any property, after all, it's all just data.
Oh well.
At any rate, if I have to I suppose I can do it frame by frame which may take a while but it might work. :)
-Thanks.
True, Mazak - im watching a render that has another 15 hours on it - (51 lights - 40 of which have flares)
the flares show up as its being rendered.

i think if you change the intensity of the flares frame by frame (or several frames apart), it will then animate - but there are no actual settings to animate it. Now that you brought it up, i wish there was - that would be neat =D
maybe a thought for Vue's development team =D
Rarer than a hairy egg and madder than a box of frogs....

Yeah, I agree, I'm dumbfounded as to why I can't animate all data. It's just data. It's just a matter of the programmers giving us the option to animate it, not a big coding issue. I don't get it.
If they want us to have as much creative control as possible, and thus get more use out of the program, I'd say they should take a very serious look at it. Else, honestly, I can't believe it.
In the meantime I can do it old school stop motion style I guess., hehe.
-Thanks all.

Is it possible to animate any property of an object?
I'd like to animate the 'Flare Intensity' of a light object.
Preferably, any property, like with C4D.
I've only been with vue for a couple days but I'd like to use it on a current project.
-Thanks.
