Video of my model

@bryn has a script (flythru_script) to do this (which I have as well, but never used) ... Maybe you can ask him?

[lsc]

Ok! Thanks

hi @lsc

I would be happy to share the flythrough script, but the easiest is probably use a hidden tool called "Keyframe Animation".
You can find it if you start Sim4Life with the command line <path/to/sim4life.exe> --vip_tools.

Thank you very much

Hello @bryn,

How come I get this warning when starting S4L from the command line?

I'm also interested in this, would be great if you can share the script.

Thanks!

[bryn]

@mkn I am not sure why you get that message. Did you start from a normal command prompt (cmd) or a command with admin priviliges?

Regarding the script: the above animation can be created without any script. The Keyframe Animation Tool can store camera settings (vie direction, zoom) and model settings like color and transparency.

[mkn]

Sorry, I must have started a command with admin privileges last time, tried it again today and I don't get that message. I was referring to your flythrough script.

Thanks again!

@bryn every time I hit animate the software crashes.

Any thoughts on what could possibly be causing this?

Thanks!

[bryn]

not sure. it could be related to graphics drivers. are you using it via remote desktop? please send one of the crash reports with some description (and "for Bryn"). Thanks

[mkn]

Sent the crash report.

[bryn]

thanks @mkn. it looks like you may have pressed "Animate" without first saving any keyframes (the 7.0 release will not crash - and notify the user with an error message).

Please note that when the tool stops (restarts) it removes all previously saves keyframes. Maybe a new version should not clear previous keyframes, but allow the user to explicitly them with a "Clear Keyframes" button...?

Thanks @Bryn!
