Just get it in the GitHub: https://github.com/JacquesLucke/animation-nodes =]
I can say you already can have lots of fun with it!
Jacques is very kind on sharing and developing this addon!

@Jacques
super duper nice…thanks…

Really nice addon! So much possibilities!
Thank you!

Jacques_Lucke · October 10, 2014, 4:03pm

thanks lenain34

@electronicpulse
hm. that confuses me…
can you open the console in Blender and make a Picture? (click in the top Header on Window -> Toogle System Console)

Looch · October 10, 2014, 4:04pm

okay, it was my version! it works on 2.72 stable and now i’m getting the new development version =)

Jacques_Lucke · October 10, 2014, 4:06pm

okay fine

Do that!

Just following your recommandations on how to create your own nodes, I did two simple ones (only few lines of code), for testing (‘distance between objects’ and a ‘simple if condition’). It worked like out of the box ! So not only this addon help us animating things but also immensely simplify the coding. I see it as a great begginer’s door to programmation.

Jacques_Lucke · October 11, 2014, 5:06am

Hey Nikos_,
it’s great that you ‘tested’ my small ‘how to make nodes’ document Well done!
Do you want to share your code?

Looch · October 11, 2014, 5:39am

I’d love it if it could be mixed up with shader nodes, but maybe instead of going so complicated you could make a node that outputs an attribute that can be called from the shader nodes, so for instance with the audio output since it goes from 0 to 1 it could be represented as black to white (gray scale) and that could be inputted to a mix node and make a shader change color with a mix based on the output that music is giving you… heheheh

Jacques_Lucke · October 11, 2014, 5:50am

I’d love to have this functionality too. And we will get it soon. I just can’t do everything at the same time. I also work a lot on speed improvements and this always needs some time.

I promise that you will get the ability to change material settings with these nodes

Nikos1 · October 11, 2014, 6:50am

Do you want to share your code?

Sure, but it’s not much of a code ! :o

Distance between two objects
A > B Condition

Jacques_Lucke · October 11, 2014, 6:58am

the less code the better. Thanks

I started with the material output node. So far it already works, but it still needs a few changes

Is it just me or is it not possible to have two custom node categories registered at the same time (using nodeitems_utils). I’m working on an experimental nodes system called “FLOW”.

Jacques_Lucke · October 11, 2014, 7:07am

I have sverchok and Animation nodes installed. So I have to custom node categories… no Problem

What is different in this node System “FLOW”?

zeffii · October 11, 2014, 7:20am

Nothing to show yet, just started last night It will be based on numpy from the ground up, have OSC + ChucK support, it will probably abuse the particle system. OK i’ll look carefully at the differences between how we register the custom tree.

Jacques_Lucke · October 11, 2014, 7:26am

sounds great. have fun hehe
