Triggering File In CHOP from FBX

Hey Everyone,

I’ve created a little animated sequence in C4D that i want to trigger in TD.

I Imported everything over with the FBX ok, and now im just struggling to control the CHOPs that control the animation.

Touch created a File in CHOP to a .bchan file that has all my keyframes in, however i have so far been unable to hold on the first frame and play on a trigger, as file in has no way of bringing in a frame index as far as I can see…

Any help much appreachiated! :smiley:

Cheers,
Sam

Realised this can easily be done with keys in Animation COMPs… so if i could find a way to convert the ‘file in’ CHOPs into keyframes i might be onto something… :mrgreen:

Gonna follow up this post with the solution, guessing that Sam = Sam who I sent this to. It’s a component that you plug a file in CHOP into, set your rate and click the little button to get the length (or enter it manually) then pulse the cue parameter whenever you want.

op('playBackComp').par.Cue.pulse()
