I've been working with Rhino and MW, trying to create an animation.

I'm using the setanimationpath with Rhino and each time I try to record the animation, motion blur in the camera gets activated, even though I've turned it off.

Is there another switch for motion blur that I'm missing?

Thanks,

Looks like you found a bug there - it'll be fixed, but in the meantime try this workaround:

1. open the Rhino Animation toolbar
2. SHIFT+right-click the 'Record Animation' button
3. copy/paste the following script into the 'Right mouse button command' box

!_ViewFirstFrame
_ViewNextFrame
_Maxwell_SetCameraInitialPositionForMotionBlur
_ViewFirstFrame
_RecordAnimation
_Maxwell_CameraSettings
MotionBlur=No
Enter

4. to run animations, right-click the Record Animation button rather than left-clicking it

This should reset the AnimationTools loop, advance one frame, set the initial position for the camera, reset the loop, start the animation, and disable m-blur for the camera...let me know if it works for you.

Thanks. I ended up creating a path and using setanimationpath, but what I really wanted to use was the turntable animation (it being so simple and straightforward).

Is there an option for turntable animation where instead of it being a 360 degree turn...I can set it to 90 degrees...I'm trying to show a client a very quick 90 degree animation...not full 360.

All the best.

No, as far as I'm aware, turntable is strictly 360°. There is a CameraAnimation.rvb RhinoScript file in the Rhino System folder that you could probably modify (I think the V4 AnimationTools is based on this) to do that, but I would just use a path animation. Most of the time, I'd use path animation anyway because you have much better control over where the animation starts, ends, and the camera and target points - with turntable, I'm never exactly sure where the camera's going to end up.

Thanks for your feedback...will give it a go.

That's a nice rework...I think I got it going. See what you mean about
using the path command, much more control over camera.

Thanks again.
