ASL Scripts / Vehicle Rollover Animation
« on: January 08, 2009, 04:16:23 pm »
Hi:
I'm trying to animate a vehicle rollover accident. I have calculated the 3D position and orientation of the vehicle throughout the rollover (keyframes) and would like to use Anim8or to fill in the gaps and bring it to life.
I could do this with the interface tools but I have different crashes to animate each week and want to automate the process a little.
I have X,Y,Z positions, roll, pitch and yaw orientations, and uneven time steps between key frames. I don't need to change the vehicle model during the rollover. I just want an overhead or perspective view of the roll sequence.
Could someone please tell me how to use an ASL script to move the vehicle object to each of the stations and establish a keyframe for each?
I have reviewed the script involving object trajectory based on time and gravity but I need to set my own times for each rollover position. An example storyborad is attached.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
