Dave M Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Can I create an orbital movie where the sun doesn't rotate? I'm making movies of my architectural models. To get shadows on all 4 sides, I've had to use at least 2 light sources (at the corners facing in opposite directions). This creates duplicate shadows in many views. What I really want is to have my model rotate below a fixed sun. The shadows would sweep around the model, changing with each view, and all sides would be lit by a single sun source. Is there a way to do this with Renderworks? Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted February 23, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hello Dave M: There are VectorScript calls you could use to rotate an object while outputting frames to a Quicktime movie. That is how the Solar Animator feature in ARCHITECT works. Or, Julian Carr's Animation Works can do this: http://www.ozcad.com.au/product_AddOn.html HTH, Quote Link to comment
