Why do you need them in Construct 3?

For example to bake an animation or particle effect to a png sequence and re-import it. This would be useful to simplify or make certain animations more performant in game dev.

Well, currently the intent is that you'd use Construct Animate for that.

It would be really weird to have to buy both versions as you are already paying for 99% of Animates features if you are subscribed to C3.

It also would be bad UX to have to switch between almost identical software depending on what features you need and there wouldn't be a version where you actually can do all in one. Also because of the removal of features it's even worse, let's say I want to bake a trail from the 3rd party addon Trail Renderer, would be impossible afaik.

It's especially weird as the removal of the features is purely artificial.

I also don't think that adding that feature to c3 would make less people buy Animate, maybe it would mean more people buy c3 instead of animate tho, as now there is a version that actually does it all.

I don't think it's a good deal to make people buy a second identical house with a refrigerator if they want a refrigerator in their house. Obvious hyperbole, but I think it's clear what I mean.

Hi Ashley

For all the already stated reasons.

Also, if you give us the tools, we will find ways to use them.

This must have come up before as in your introduction to Construct Animate on the official blog you state.....

We are investigating more options to further integrate Construct Animate and Construct 3, including providing a way to use the video, GIF and image sequence export options from Construct 3 as well as Construct Animate. We hope to publish more information about that in future.

And it's worth emphasizing, we are by no means giving up on Construct 3! We're excited about Construct Animate but game development has always been a huge part of what Construct is about, and always will be.

Hello,

I also think the video export should be added to Construct 3. Feels a bit cheap to ask the users who are paying for Construct 3 to buy a limited version of Construct 3 for one export option...

I bought it to try it out and support you guys because I like construct and what you guys do. I know what I was buying but I would not recommend anyone that already has a Construct 3 subscription to sign up for Construct Animate in the current state. The softwares is too similar, if you want to make an introductory version for new users then the video export seems weird not to share between the software.

If you want to make a software for animation with other features than Construct 3 has that is another thing but currently, it's not that. It's not close to that.

Please don't try to make the people that already support you pay 50% more for one feature. Don't be that guy.
