opening doors during fly-through

[Anonymous]

I can't figure out how to open and close doors while creating a fly through. Can you help?

There are ways. Do a search on this forum.

It can be done, but only through using GDL scripting. (Of course, someone may have already made some opening doors commercially.)

In the GDL script, the door open angle links with the frame number of the animation to give the appearance of a door opening. (rebuild model after every frame). To make this work, you need to know exactly where the camera is in each frame to time the opening swing.

Others might help you in the morning with the scripting details....

Or Cadimage's Door and Window Builder doors do this at the click of a button (and so much more). Search for this too, while you're at it.
