Hi Folks,

Just wondering what part of solidworks i have to use to do high quality videos of assemblies in motion and fly through's etc. ? i had to do a little 10sec clip of a moving part the other day and struggled through it with a motion study but the quality wasn't the best and it seemed a little painful. is there a better way to achieve this? i am happy to learn on my own, so not after specifics on HOW to do it, but i would like to learn the easiest way rather than teach myself bad habits or the wrong thing all together. so what should i be studying? Motion Studies or photoworks? also does anyone have any good resources for learning them? e.g. specific video tutorials or the like? i had a look on YouTube the other day but struggled to find anything that explained in detail the use of these things from the very beginning for a new user of these.

thanks in advance for any help.

No one else has this question

I can highly recommend you this book: Photorealististic Rendering Using SOLIDWORKS and Photoview 360 (not sure as why the price is showing almost 15 times)

Plus instead of saving out as movie, save as series of picture (with PV360 as renderer) and create your movie from those pictures.

The book Deepak mentions is good. If you want rendered animations then you will want to learn/use PhotoView as well.

I do have some free info for motion and PV360 at my site Downloads - Axis Cad Solutions

Thanks gents.

Deepak, if i were to look to buy that book new somewhere, how much would i be expecting to pay for it? obviously $1000 can't be right. from your comment i am guessing 1000/15 somewhere around $70USD?

Rob, they look like some great resources, is there a youtube (or the like) video to accompany them? i am not much good at following those things unless there is some more context there. the PDF is obviously part of a presentation. i have had similar in the past. and really it is the support to the presenter. by itself it holds less meaning. is there somewhere i can go to get the extra content?

SOLIDWORKS Store list the price as $62.97 (after a 30% discount) but since the book is out of stock (this had been vary popular book I'm sure), you might see other sites selling at very high price.

SOLIDWORKS World presentations from past years are now available on Youtube
