Short description of error
Hi! I'm not sure if it is a Blender bug, but...
I'm using typewriter add-on to animate the text.
Animated property is "character count"
The result should be a neat typewriting effect.
It worked without any issues in Blender 2.8 both on Linux and Windows.
In Blender 2.81 It works in preview window, but animation (character count value) is not updating while rendering. As a result I always have static text.
If I render single random frame, the number of characters will be correct.
But if I render animation (no matter to mp4 file or like sequence of png files), the text is not changing
I tried latest build of blender 2.82 Alpha from 26-11-2019 and had the same issue
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Please open attached .blend file
- Enable the attached add-on (it was updated for Blender 2.8)
- Hit space button (play animation) in the viewport, you should see typing text animation
- press CTRL+F12 to render the animation. It will take few seconds, the scene is very simple.
Example of properly animated text in Blender 2.8:
Example of non-updating text animation in Blender 2.81 (the result depends on current frame value)
Thank you for your time!
