I want to name the animation period in Blender.
For example, I would like to name it “Walking” for frames 1 to 10 and “Idle” for frames 11 to 20.
I want to set this in Blender instead of Puzzle.
Is there a way to output the animation period naming from Blender to Verge3d?

Hi,
I don’t believe that’s possible as of now. As far as I know, you’re only allowed one animation per object.

I only need one animation.

I would like to implement a mechanism in Javascript that switches processing according to the name of the current period.
So I need to name the period.

I tried using Timeline’s Marker, but it didn’t output.
I tried to change the string of the Text object over time, but Blender didn’t have that feature.

The Developer Reference contains a class called StringKeyframeTrack.
https://www.soft8soft.com/docs/api/en/animation/tracks/StringKeyframeTrack.html
I thought that StringKeyframeTrack might be able to name the animation period.
How can I output StringKeyframeTrack data from Blender?

I wrote the title “Naming animation period”,
but it’s okay if I can embed the string in the keyframe on the Blender side and get the time and string in Javascript.

I tried to create a Custom Propety for a string, but Blender couldn’t add a Keyframe to the String’s Custom Property.

Hi,

you cannot name animation ranges in Blender unfortunately.

But you can still play back ranges with Puzzles or JavaScript.

I got it. I wanted to finish the setting in Blender without using Puzzle, but I think of other ways.
