Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, you will be able to: ✓ Explain the show motion tool. ✓ Create still shots of 3D models. ✓ Create walk shots of 3D models. ✓ Create cinematic shots of 3D models. ✓ Replay single shots and a sequence of shots. ✓ Change the properties of a shot. AutoCAD’s show motion tool is a powerful function that allows you to create named views, animated shots, and basic walkthroughs. It can quickly display a variety of named shots. It is also used to create basic animated presentations and displays. This capability is especially useful for animating 3D models that do not require the complexity and detail of fully textured, rendered animations and walkthroughs. Walkthroughs are presented in Chapter 21. A view is a single-frame display of a model or drawing from any viewpoint. A shot is the manner in which the model is put in motion and the way the camera moves to that view. Therefore, a single, named view can be modifi ed to create several different shots using camera motion and movement techniques. Using show motion, you can create shots in one of three different formats: • Still. • Walk. • Cinematic. A still shot is exactly the same as a named view, but show motion allows you to add transition effects to display it. A walk shot requires that you use the Walk tool to defi ne a camera motion path to create an animated shot. A cinematic shot is a single view to which you can add camera motion and movement effects to display the view. These shots are all created using the New View/Shot Properties dialog box. This is the same dialog box used to create named views. Using Show Motion to View a Model 20CHAPTER 20
