Operator Field of View

[S_ACOSTA]

I am working on a vehicle, and I would like to get a map of what the driver can see.


This would be analogous to replacing theoperatorshead with a light bulb, and projecting the light on to a plane at a given distanceoutside ofthe vehicle.


I hope this makes sense, it is not that easy to discribe.

Uhhhh... I'm not sure what you plan on doing with this.

Certainly, using flythrough can place you anywhere
within the model that you please.

I'm not at my workstation, so I can't tell for sure...
but I believe that the viewpoint in the renderer can be
placed within the model, looking out.

Other than that... you'd have to be more specific about
how this applies to "analysis".

I've had this sort of problem before and just created an extrusion
representing the field of view. You can then use the resulting
intersections to determine what the operater can see.



Hope this helps,
