How do I render my animation???

[Geno678]

I know how to render the assembly I'm working on, but when I animate it, it goes back to the regular mode. How do I keep it rendered while in animation mode.

Not sure you can, imagine how much computer power that could take.

I was on youtube, and their animations were rendered.

In that case I guess maybe I'm full of it.

What version you on?

Also, having worked with Siemans on some rendering stuff a while back, they aren't past doing some post rendering outside SE - though I'm not saying that's necessarily the case here.

I'm using Solid Edge ST 2

Is their a way to do this, or no. Maybe I'm wrong that may just have changed their view style.

Geno, a lot of the more active folk on this side are the other side of the pond, so you may have posted too late to get a response from them today.

Also, given this is a free site, getting pushy wanting an answer won't endear you to its members.

Sorry about seeming pushy. I understand. I'm just curious if it is possible or like you said earlier you would need a lot of power from your PC to run an animation that is rendered.

Hi,

When the AVI file of the animation is exported by using the 'Save as Movie' command. Make sure you hit the options button on the dialogue. Then ensure the 'View Style' is set to 'Presentation'

Now when the AVI is created, each frame will be rendered using the higher quality rendering engine.

This does rely on you having run a 'Render Scene' before outputting the file.

Hope that helps.

Awesome thanks so much.
