Walkthrough Animation

[jmurray]

I am a new user VW, but have used other animation tools in other 3d programs. I can't seem to get Walkthrough animations to work. Anyone got a minute to give me a step by step, or point me in the right direction of an online tutorial for the animation features.(can't seem to find one)

i have written notes for this in the past, but the notes are only in my education kit. but it's the sort of thing that I could teach you over the internet.

step 1

set up a series of saved views for each key point

step 2

model > create animation > walk along path

step 3

drag your views to the timeline

If you have very many of these to do, you should take a look at Julian Carr's Animation Works

It makes it easier to set the path, and the camera view. It also lets you animate objects in the scene.

I second Animationworks. You can also animate objects while you are viewing a walk through. Like water running in a fountain, a fire burning, or opening a door or gate. Very good software.
