Animation - Video

(OP)
Hi,

I have designed a terminal building for an airport in NX, and I would like to know how to carry out a render video animation.
My aim is to have an animation of a first person view going into the terminal and walking inside the terminal until reaching the departure gates.
I know how to render images, But I dont know how to do animation, (first person view walking through the terminal).
I want my animation to be on the similar lines to this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrDvu2Pluo

Can someone help me please.

Kind Regards,

Tino

RE: Animation - Video

I would start by going to the user Documentation and searching on 'animation'.  One of the 'hits' will be titled 'High Quality Image Animation dialog box'.  Start there as this page will provide links to various other pages which will cover the items you'll need to learn how to use.  Of particular interest for your proposed case would be the link titled 'Curve Trajectory method'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Hi,

Thanks for replying, I have gone through the topic, but it does not really explain how to do it....
I just dont understand how this works ? Is there a simple guide that is avaliable for animation ... I am sorry to be so annoying, but I really want to achieve a video of my work to show the full potential of the hours I spent building the model.

Kind Regards,

Tino

RE: Animation - Video

Hi Tino,
Maybe I can help you, because I enjoy animation NX
The menu View Visualization Create Animation is not ergonomic and it is the same since long years ago even in NX 7.5 !!!
So wich version of NX are you using ? because, I may have to send an example
You can see an example at my web site
