Heliodon Tool - Solar animation 'View'

[Scott@ZSTa]

I'm experimenting with the Heliodon tool.

I've kind of got to grips with it and can export an OpenGL solar animation movie using the first option: Sun (using current view), although this doesn't produce ground shadows as I think you need Renderworks for this (?).

However, when I initiate either of the other two options: View (sun to layer plane center) & View (sun to Heliodon center), the model disappears from the screen, ie I seem to be looking in the wrong direction.

Any ideas?

If you place the heliodon object inside the center of your model in x,y and z, it still disappears when you do a sun to Heliodon center animation?

But yes, most of Solar Animation and other functions of the Heliodon tool require renderworks.
