Movable Billboards

 

Hi,

I've been recently been playing around with the idea of having a moving elevator on a trigger with a person inside for my Aximmetry project and was wondering whether there was a way to make billboards movable on a trigger similar to the elevator?

Hi,

It is possible to move the billboards or have an elevator effect.

Here are some simple ideas if you are using Virtual Camera:

If you are using tracked Camera, then you will probably want to edit the Camera compound like here in the last comment:

But instead of connecting a tracker to the billboard transformation, you will probably want to set up something like this:

Hi,

Aximmetry 2025.2.0 BETA has just been released.

In this new version, Aximmetry Cameras are now affected by the transformation of the actor they are attached to. This means the camera can move together with any animated object.
For example, you can achieve this by placing the Aximmetry Camera under the object in the Outliner:
