Creating a Movie File
1. Open the [Animation.shd] le from the [Chapter
18] folder within the [User Guide] folder.
Does this shape look familiar? In this le, animation
settings are already completed for the object for which
you made a Skin setting in the previous chapter.
To create a movie le, you will perform animation
rendering.
2. Before starting the animation rendering, display
the Image window and make the settings in the
Rendering Options.
Windows version of the Rendering Options dialog box)
This Rendering Options are exactly the same as that
for the still image rendering. In this example, you
will perform the rendering with the settings as shown
in the above gure.
When the size of the rendered images is too large,
your computer may not be able to play the movie le
smoothly. Thats why we use a smaller size here.
Chapter 18: Animation Rendering
Now you can learn about animation.
For animation, time-based motions are specied for a shape, and a separate image is rendered for each
unit (frame) along the time-axis. The animation is viewed by displaying the images serially.
The descriptions of the animation settings are provided later; you will rst create an actual movie le in
order to understand what animation is.
