Coincidentally, this issue has not been noticed until last week by one of my testers. It is possible to make the date/time animatable by following these steps:
1. open
Omxrendersettings.res (in
[cinema folder]/plugins/Maxwellres/description) in notepad
2. find this:
Code:
DATETIME MX_ENV_DATETIME
{
COMPACT_MODE;
TIME_CONTROL;
DATE_CONTROL;
TIME_NOW;
DATE_TODAY;
}
3. add in 'ANIM MIX' like this:
Code:
DATETIME MX_ENV_DATETIME
{
ANIM MIX;
COMPACT_MODE;
TIME_CONTROL;
DATE_CONTROL;
TIME_NOW;
DATE_TODAY;
}
However, it looks like the Cinema date/time control used here does not interpolate between key frames, so it doesn't help much - you will have to key each individual frame. An alternative in the V2 plugin would be to use a light with a sun expression in the scene and animate that - the plugin will use it to locate the sun, rather than using the date/time specified in the Scene object. This feature will be added to the 1.x plugin in the next update.
