My theory: Could we create "code based" scenes?

Plopilpy · 01-16-2021, 02:32 PM

I've always wondered this. Since 3DMM uses the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V shortcut for copy/pasting, could we actually grab the data from that and paste it elsewhere? The data doesn't actually get sent to the clipboard, it just works within 3DMM. However what if we could then REVERSE this process to be able to import entire scenes as code blocks?

I was just wondering if this was possible.

Short answer: Yes.

Using 3dmmAP2, you can actually animate a scene. Aaron Haynes used it to animate sweeps and other things. As 3dmmAP2 regurgitates keystrokes in an interval that you set, it is capable of hijacking the "mouse" and animating a scene, and, theoretically, doing the same over and over again with other objects in a scene.

It doesn't make sense to do this for more than a single object, but it also isn't impossible.
