March 2023 update

  • Added 4 demo files that you can check out or use as a template
  • - split flap demo manual control and custom animations
  • - split flap demo airport render
  • - split flap demo looping sentences
  • - split flap demo clock or timer
  • Updated the pdf guide to include more details
  • Added the ability to use a slider for the animation progress instead of the timeline. to make it even easier to start, stop, speed up or slow down the animation based on a keyframed value

November 2023 update: a minor bug fixed, and added support for Blender versions up to 4.0

Product information:

  • made in blender version 3.1.
  • also tested and working in 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, and 4.0

  • You only need the blender file for it to work, any additional files are just for demonstration or in case you want to change the textures.

  • Split flap display animated to what you type. you can make it as large as you want and display as many transitions after one another as you want.

  • With so many customization option showcased in the video and the images.

  • the flaps are showing capital letters, small letters, numbers and special characters which you can enable or disable separately or change in the textures.

  • With beginner friendly guide on how to use.

  • The other formats are full modules exported to abc, glTF and usdc. you can use them and just stop the animation where what you want is displayed or make your own animation and exported as demonstrated in the pdf guide.

  • The UV maps are automatically generated and there is a guide in the pdf to how to export to other formats without losing the UVs.

  • PBR textures: The textures can be changed to display anything (but the button to call that part of the texture won't be changed) for example if you change the = to display an emoji, you would display that emoji by hitting =

  • Low poly

  • The sounds in the video showcase are not generated in blender, they are added in video editing, but you get these flaps sounds in the additional files folder.

I love these, but as a typographer the character alignment issues prevent me from going further. If you study the historical versions, they have accounted for baselines, overshoot and more.

I am glad you love it, The alignment issues can be very easily fixed, because the characters and their alignment are all based on the texture and I provided the UV layout in the files for that reason or if you want to make your own entire characters in a new texture. Maybe I didn't know about it at the time, but I expected such an issue and accounted for it by making what is displayed based on just the texture so that it's easily modified.

I'm mostly a noob at blender, but sort of know my way around -- so if you can show me where/how I can make that adjustment I think this nicely constructed piece would be a fitting addition to a project I'm working on -- and it may eventually get more than a few eyeballs on it.
