Shapefile 3D model animation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Being able to animate objects in TerraExplorer is great; But at the moment these must be done by adding individual 3D objects. When loading in 3D models from a shapefile the option to animate the objects is greyed out. 

If each object could be animated it could give life to created videos. For example animating human avatars in a scene would truly be amazing.

	I'm talking about the option: Model type- animation/still (not dynamic ground/aerial objects)

	Hi Will, Though it is enable it TE6.0.1 There is a known bug that prevents the animated model from being displayed properly. Best regards, Yaniv

	Do you think that in a future release this may be fixed? Will

	Sure, but I cannot tell what is the time frame for this bug. As a workaround, using TEv.6.0.1 you can load the animated model from a shape file, only if the layer was loaded as Entire (and not streaming). But if you try to edit a specific model, you get an error and the model disappears. Yaniv
