Animation: Shadow analysis Display time of day

art92 · 10 Dec 2015, 01:10

Greetings all!

I made a short animation of a daylight shadow analysis (Top view perspective)
I would like for the animation to show the time of day,
so that the shadows have a specific reference point within the animation.

Anyone know of a sure fire way to do this?

I've used an extension called Time . It works quite well.

I've seen this in other forum posts, however the link you posted shows the product/plugin as "unavailable".

Sorry. That's unfortunate. Maybe someone else will have a suggestion.

Hi Arthur, hi folks.

Maybe you can rename each scene with the hour. This wold work for an animation seen using SketchUp.

Or use layers to make visible, in turn for each scene, a screen text showing the time for that particular scene. This would work for escorted animation.

Just ideas.
