The “Animations” TAB allows you to create and manage 3D paths in different categories: 3D People and 3D cars (to simulate traffic in an urban context).
This TAB is very interesting because, it allows to fill and animate your project, especially for videos and explorations.
The first step to do is to go on the “Animations” TAB on the general Eyecad VR User Interface.
1- Draw a Path
If you want to draw a Path, you can click on the “Draw path” icon and choose by four different path types:
- People path
- Vehicles path
- Bike path
- Custom objects path
People Path
People path could help to animate a sidewalk of an urban context or a park. By adding people path is possible to set some parameters that allows to have a more realistic situation of the context created with the people. You can create the path by creating point by point the path you want that 3D people will walk on.
These are the parameters you can edit by clicking on a blue point of the path:
- Density
- Speed
- Lane count
- Lane width
- Two lanes
- Right drive
- Curve smoothness
Vehicles Path
Vehicles path could help to animate a street of an urban or country context by 3D cars traffic. By adding vehicles path is possible to set some parameters that allows to have a more realistic situation of the context created with the cars. You can create the path by creating point by point the path you want that 3D cars will walk on.
These are the parameters you can edit by clicking on a blue point of the path:
- Density
- Speed
- Lane count
- Lane width
- Two lanes
- Right drive
- Curve smoothness
2- Static HQ cars and HQ animated people (without path)
If you need to add static cars or animated people that will not walk, you do not need to create a path. The simple action to do is to open the dedicated library: People, Vehicles or Bike.
3D HQ people
To add 3D people to the 3D scene, you need to drag them to the 3D scene from the library, located at the bottom. Once dropped on the scene, by selecting one of them, a new menu will appear on your right with the settings of the character.
At this moment is possible to select the animation that you want the it accomplishes. It’s possible to choose from:
- Idle
- Texting
- Holding box
- Laying
- Dancing
- Sitting
- Talking
- Phone talking
3D HQ cars
To add 3D cars on the 3D scene, it is necessary to drag’n’drop them on the 3D scene from the library downside. Once dropped on the scene, by selecting one of them, a new menu will appear on your right with the settings of the car.
