Good fly through animation example.

[Anonymous]

I am trying to find a good example of a fly through animation using the lightworks rendering engine. If anyone has one they wouldn't mind sharing or can link me to a website where i might find one, that would be fantastic. Going to be creating the animation over the next couple of weeks and wanted to give the client an example. The building is on a man made lake with a pier going out into the water and lots of trees and brush surrounding it, hopefully i can find something similar.

I noticed that there aren't a lot of topics about fly through animations. I'm assuming it's because people prefer true rendering programs. If anyone can shed some light on this as well it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Chad

Dwight, I am apologizing if I may sounded arrogant. My reply was more of a question, not a way to deny what you said. Sorry if it sounded that way.
Now I can see animation can be made in 2d mode too, not only in the mode showed in this tutorial


Thank you for the reply Karl. For some reason, I can not even enter the 2d mode on my Artlantis3 (Display->2d View change). All views (top, front, right, left, back) are grey, not available.

That's strange. Works for me in all views... There was a problem with some early releases, years ago (if preview window was rendering) but updates fixed that. What version of Artlantis are you using, and are you sure you have the latest updates installed?

May be an issue for Abvent tech support...

Cheers,

Thank you for the relpy Karl.
I am using Artlantis 3.0.6.0. I do not know if it has been updated or not, because I do now own the application. I am using the pc from my faculty, on which they have Artlantis installed. It`s not mine.

Sorry for disturbance, and off-topic


The preview of not being able to open a 2d plan, can be seen in the attachment.

Aha! As usual, a picture is worth 1000 words...

The menu items you are looking at are disabled because the 2D window is not open! Go to the Window menu and click on "2D View". NOW you can get to work. 🙂

You will also find the different 2D views available via the toolbar at the top of the 2D View window. You can customize these buttons for faster access. Right-click the toolbar to Customize. The Mac interface is shown attached... I replaced the standard single button (mouse-down to change from top to side, etc) with multiple buttons so I can change views with one click.

Artlantis 3 has recently been updated to 3.0.7. You should be OK with 3.0.6, but may want to see if the faculty can update things:

But, the update is not the problem here, so you can keep working.

Good luck,
Karl
