Title: Importing Animation Keyframe Values from File
Post by: Piimon on January 04, 2010, 06:08:51 AM
I would like to import single values from a text file as keyframes into Terragen2.

For example, I would like to change the Cloud density of a cloud layer over time where the keyframe values are read from a text file.

On every animation button there is that "import animation file" option but how does this work in detail. Is there even a possibility to import data straight from plain txt file or does it always have to be a .chan file?

The .chan format is an xml format and as such is a .txt format.
You could right your own from scratch.

Thanks for the quick reply. Found help from an old thread ( http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=782.0 (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=782.0) )

(didn't realize that one can open .tgd files with textedit and with a bam a whole new world opened to me, :) )
