Hi together,
In the attached picture you see a part of a roll printing machine. The brown rolls should "print" on the white plane: the white plane is moving and the rolls are rotating. Each printing roll is independent and can print another texture.
Here is a good video showing the functionality: youtube link
As an example:
- roll 1 is printing "TE" in red color
- roll 2 is printing "XT" in blue color
I have absolutely no idea how to do this...
Maybe with animating textures (different texture for each roll, positioning along x-axis) and masks, so you can only see it after the roll? But the user decides when which roll prints, so there can be gaps after the roll.
Is this even possible?
Please ask if anything is unclear. Hopefully some of you have an answer.
Best,
Steffen
