Camera Animation in SolidWorks – Easy Setup Guide

0:00 Preview 00:34 Step 1 Create a camera path. 03:11 Step 2 Positions the camera. 10:11 Step 3 Run all animation. 11:41 Step 4 Save to media file. Camera-Based Animations You can create camera-based animations in a motion study by changing camera views or other -properties. -Position -Field of view -Roll -Target point position -Depth of field (effect is visible in a rendered animation only) You can also view the animation through different cameras at different times. Camera-based Animations You can use these methods to create a camera-based animation:Key points Use key points to animate the camera properties such as position, depth of field, and lighting. You can change the following camera properties: Camera Views A camera view is a view similar to the standard view for drawings (front, top, right etc.). You can define the movement of a camera over time by creating a sequence of camera views. You can move the camera about a model to define an animation as follows: -By adding key points that change the view orientation -By setting the view orientation through a camera, and then moving the camera through key points You can: -Specify one or more cameras to use to define a camera view. -Rotate, pan, and zoom the model to define the animation. -Define the animation with a sequence of camera view orientations through time. To select a camera view to display the animation through a particular camera: 1.Add a camera to the animation. 2.Right-click the camera in the MotionManager design tree, and select Camera View. Using a Camera Versus not Using a Camera You can use camera-based techniques to create an animation in which the view changes by moving camera or using view orientation to specify model motion: -When you use a camera for animation, you set the view through the camera, and create key points that move the camera about the model. The combination of setting the view to be through the camera and moving the camera produces an animation whereby the camera moves about the -When you do not use a camera for animation, you must define key points at each view orientation for the model. When you add key points to set the view to different positions, you can create an animation in which the view orientation moves the model. #solidworks #animation #camera #tutorial
