When inserting my created Views to the Timeline in Animation Mode, the point at which I merged the new assembly into the document (in this case, the Drill) is captured.
How do you get the merged assembly to appear in place, without showing the translation (rotation/alignment) process (see ref. image below)? Note: The translation process shows when playing the views in sequence in View Mode as well.
Hi Gilbert
"inserting my created Views to the Timeline in Animation Mode" is not the best way to create animation!
The software interpolates the change from one to the next view. To change this behavior you have to modify the keys in the timeline. In this case opacity of the parts between two steps.
Each view creates keys for each property of each actor. For example 100 actors = around 3.000 keys. 10 Views means than 30.000 keys.
It is very difficult now to correct anything in the animation.
Duly noted - thanks so much for your response. I learned that inserting Views is possible, however I now understand that I am limited to the characteristics of that View. Keys give way more control. Do you have a favorite video tutorial re: Animation? I've come across a couple, but they are very brief and lack detail and workflow best-practice. Thanks again!
