Animation

coMOTION Getting Started

Loading

To load the new coMOTION in AutoCAD:

Appload the file "comonxt.vlx " to have the program load automatically with AutoCAD. -OR-  drag and drop it from explorer onto an open AutoCAD session. If you drag and drop it, coMOTION does not demand load you will need to do this step each time.

To run the new coMOTION type: "COMONXT".

The Basics

This is a VERY early alpha version and several functions are not hooked up. However, basic camera animation is working. The camera or target may be a SPLINT or POINT. Switch to the Camera tab and select the animation type, camera faces path or camera faces second path.

After your paths are selected, switch back to the settings tab. Select a destination path and file name. The selection of file type currently does not have any affect, all saved files are PNG. Set the number of Frames and Passes. If you wish to only render a range, you may change the starting and ending frame.

Still to Come

The following items are not hooked up in the current build (006):

  • Multiple Actions - Current only one action, the camera, is hooked up.
  • Keyframe preview
  • Camera name
  • Camera Twist
