Timeline Plugin
One of the biggest friction points in motion graphics and dynamic material design is the inability to easily control time-based variables without jumping back and forth between Designer and Player.
With this plugin, run directly via the Python Editor, you can now:
- Play, Pause, and Stop animations directly in the viewport.
- Set custom FPS to match your project’s target frame rate.
- Stay in the flow: Tweak your Pixel Processors or dynamic nodes and see the results live without exporting.
Special thanks to Antigravity AI for the assistance in building the code!
It’s amazing how much the Substance Python API opens up for technical artists. No more guessing, just real-time creative control.
If you'd like to use this in your own workflow, just let me know in the comments.
