Experience with SimLab Composer 6.1.5

ntxdave

Does anyone have some experience with SimLab Composer 6.1.5 that they are willing to share with me. I have the trial version until Nov 4 but am having some problems getting started.

IN particular, I am trying to build an animation of a car driving through a car wash. I understand how to create the animations but when I try to create a movie, the movie is not he rendered version of the model and it does not look good.

I also tried to export the animation to WebGL and I get a pretty much blank web page with their template.

I am getting no where fast so I thought someone here could give me some pointers.

So you managed to create the animation, great, next step is rendering.

Set rendering parameters for each frame from the output tab as shown in the following image:

Next, Render the animation (all frames)

Now we need to create a movie from rendered images, from animation, video, select Movie maker

Set frames per second to 25 or 30 and generate the movie.

I hope this helps.

I really appreciate your reply.

Unfortunately I did not see this until later this evening but I did get this going. I also figured out how to bind the camera to the primary object I am animating. I am up to 300 frames but need to go to about 1200 frames so that I get a nice smooth animation (the model is kind of big). I am trying to build an animation of a car going through a car was which is a little over 120 feet long. I also plan to animate the car wash equipment as the car goes through the car was.

Based on my current tests, I estimate rendering the model is going to take around 12 hours of render time. I need to clean up the model so I am concerned that I will not get it done before my trial expires.
