Quality of animation output in NX3
Quality of animation output in NX3
(OP)
Hi Folks
I'm pretty new to UG (still going through CAST) but I'm starting to get the hang of things. Normally I use Pro/E but this project requires me to do most of the work in NX3.
I'd like to send our prospective client an animation generated in NX3. The animation shows the motion of a mechanism along with a few assembly steps. It's pretty straightforward and I've managed to generate an MPG.
I've found that the graphical quality of the animation leaves much to be desired. I'd rather send the client a high resolution video so that they can see the workings of the mechanism a bit better.
Can anyone offer me advice for increasing the resolution of the video output? I've tried searching for past topics with no luck.
Thanks in advance

an example I created http://images.myigetit.com/motor.mpg
Another option is to use Snagit from www.techsmith.com
You can capture .avi images very easily and much cheaper than Camtasia. Now if you want to edit the video later then Camtasia is the best tool I have found.

joycejo: The quality of that video is right around what I am looking for. Unfortunately I don't have the photo realistic imaging module with the current licensing available to me.
While Camtasia/Snagit are probably the best alternatives, I'm pretty certain that the boss will not spring for it (insert long story here). We had snagit at a past company and I used it almost daily.
The videos I am generating are at a resolution of 352x240... I'm wondering if I'm missing some sort of preferences setting to bump this up to 800x600 or 1024x768?
