Motion Design

 

Hello there,

been trying to do a very simple thing. Put a text actor from motion design plugin, in front of of my Aximmetry_AR_Tracked_Camera (Yes, it's in front of the camera, not at 0.0.0). 

Yet, no luck trying to see my actor ! Same with any of Motion Design actor... 

Is there anything else I should do to make it work ?

Thank you very much

Regards

Hi again, I'll just assume it's not possible in 2024.3.0 ? Should I try the new 2025 ?

Hi,

Are you unable to locate the Motion Design actor even when using the Free camera?:

You can also try locating the Motion Design actor by using the Simulate Camera in Live Sync. More on Simulate Camera here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/obtaining-graphics-and-virtual-assets/creating-content-for-aximmetry-de/interactive-editing-with-live-sync/#free-camera-of-unreal-editor

Warmest regards,

Hello Eifert, alright, it wasn't working in editor mode (when doing play, but ok with simulate), but it's working in composer ! Thank you !

Last little question, I can't put 2D/3D shapes. It's not such a big issue, but I guess it's related to aximmetryAR Tag or something ?

Hi,

2D and 3D shapes likely need the AximmetryAR tag. Do these objects have Actor/Tags field where you can add such a tag?

Hi,

Are you sure? For instance, in Motion Design's example map, there should be a tag for Symbols.
Sometimes, objects are in the subcomponents, and you need to select the correct subcomponent at the top of the Details panel (although this was not the case here):
Motion Design

If you still cannot find it, could you please send some screenshots of what you see in the Unreal Editor?

Warmest regards,

Yes I'm sure, I'm talking 2d/3D shapes from motion design. Motion Design

Kind regards

Hi,

Indeed, it is not visible there. For some reason, they thought it was a good idea to hide the Actor category for these objects.
Nevertheless, you can still access it through the Property Matrix:
Motion Design

Note that the Property Matrix window also works with multiple selected objects, allowing you to add tags to several objects simultaneously:
Motion Design

Additionally, for some reason, when you click the plus "+" sign to add a new tag, the search results are not updated. You will need to type "tag" again into the search.

Warmest regards,
