Omino Lua After Effects Plugin

This plugin is available for prerelease use and feedback. (I hate to say “testing” but that too.) It’s solid enough. More info and download HERE.

Omino Suite, Experimental

Updated
The first link of the downloads page has been working for our tireless testers on Mac and Win8, AECC.

Thanks everyone who gave great data!

~~There’s been recurring requests for the After Effects plug-in omino snake to be available on Windows.~~

We have an experimental build of all the omino plugins, in a zip file for both Mac and Win, on the first link of the downloads page. So far however the testing matrix is sparse… let me know if you try these out, success or failure. Many thanks!

MAC WIN7 WIN8 AECS5 10.x tested ? ? AECS6 11.x tested tested ? AECC 12.x tested tested tested (future) tested tested ?

Table above is for my local testing. HOWever, we’ve received user reports of omino snake failing to load on AECC (12.x) and AECS6 (11.x).
Any further notes from the field are eagerly solicited! Many thanks in advance for your help.

AE: omino_python Updated!

Omino Plug-in Suite has been updated!

Most importantly… it installs correctly for AE CS6. (*yawn*. Sorry for the delay.)

Put most excitingly, scripts for omino_python now let you name the parameters. Earlier versions just named parameters like “float 0” and “color 2”. Now, each script can define the names of the parameters it uses.

Before:

Which is a bit overwhelming. Most of those parameters don’t do anything.

But now, by including a second callback ompy_params(d), you can show only the parameters you use, named as you like:

def ompy_main(c):
    ctx = c.layer_out_context
    ctx.set_source_rgb(c.colors[0].r, c.colors[0].g, c.colors[0].b)
    ctx.move_to(c.points[0].x, c.points[0].y)
    ctx.set_font_size(c.floats[0])
    ctx.rotate(c.floats[1] / 57.29577951)
    ctx.show_text(str(c.floats[2]))

def ompy_params(d):
    d.floatDescs[0].name = "font size"
    d.floatDescs[1].name = "rotation"
    d.floatDescs[2].name = "value to print"
    d.pointDescs[0].name = "print position"
    d.colorDescs[0].name = "print color"
