What library can I use animation

in Contributed Library Questions • 9 months ago

I want to do a little demo with animation in Processing. I would like to show a typical construction facility..For example, a fork lift gathering barrels and placing them on a conveyor belt and another animated robot grabs the object dropped by the fork lift and takes it elsewhere...Is there a library that is good for animations like this? I know about the Ani Library but it doesn't seem to be capable of doing the animation I mentioned above...Any ideas or tips on what I can do?

https://github.com/ekeneijeoma/ijeomamotion might be an option.
http://www.lagers.org.uk/s4p/index.html is another, I wonder if they can be used together...

Yep, Hermes has a animation package for sprite-sheet style animations (either from a set of images or generated on the fly) that can be used independently of the rest of the library.

You can download here: http://rdlester.github.com/hermes/downloads/hermes.zip

I haven't had a chance to write a tutorial yet, but take a look at the PlatformExplorer example for a sprite-sheet effect and BulletCurtain example for generative animation; both are included with the library. The javadocs for the animation package are going to be helpful for you as well.

There's two things that are a little tricky. You'll want to import hermes.animation.* and hermes.Hermes. Then, you'll need to call `Hermes.setPApplet(this)` at the beginning of your sketch. Once you've done that, using the animation classes should be straightforward.

Let me know if you use it, and if you encounter any issues.
