    S2 2006 Animator and Photoworks Problem

    I've managed to render the animation using Solidworks Realview graphics, still looks the part. But when the animation is going through its transparency phase, the materials seem to detach themselves when the item returns to opaque, and i'm left with the parts with the default material. Anyway to...

    ??SW2006 Mating Problem??

    Thanks handleman, that works superbly. Here's a question though, would it be possible to control the different distances/heights of the corners in a design table or such?

    I currently doing an animation using animator and it involves parts appearing from transparent. But i was wondering, when you actually have parts transparent is there anyway of removing the black outlines/edges when transparency is applied?

    External Animation/render software

    External Animation/render software

    i was actually thinking of something along the lines of a package or software which opens soldiworks parts or assemblies to animate outside of the whole solidworks interface. Or am i just dreaming here and such a package doesnt exist? Has anyone used simulator for solidworks?

    Solidworks 2003 Animator bug????

    thanks scott, that seems to have sorted out the animation when if comes to using the solidworks screen, but when i have placed the screen at a lower res the photoworks output still will not show the moving parts. Could it be the codec i am using or is it a bug? What would you recommend using...
