SolidWorks Walk-Through Animation Tutorial

[@cadfm9724]

I am running a product design company, I have never seen such a great job

[@MrSgrafix]

Thanks a lot! This is the greatest tutorial I've ever seen!

[@shootingkip]

Thanks a lot! A short tutorial like this works so much better than text based explanation from a teacher

[@alejandrogarcia9623]

Excellent! Thank you for the video

[@_FixingBroken_]

Thank you very much sir. I really wanted and fatigued of searching of that how to create camera view animation video. This videos 05:28 to 5:50 section is really helped me and i owe to you.👍❤and also guys, disable key creation off setup 1:28 is most important to lock the camera. I stucked there couple of hours. 😕

[@aaronchristian8030]

Super helpful, needed to make a fly through for a final project and this was perfect.

[@eshwiliams]

By the way You can use the camera view for walk through the assembly and to edit the part from its interior. Just create a camera with necessary setup, switch off "lock camera" button, and you can switch to the camera view at any moment from the view-display-camera view to edit assy or part

[@xzbyte2002]

Thank you so very very much! Really helped me a ton! I've been stuck for hours and hours trying to figure this out :D

[@teodortomter]

@SJester81 and I'm stuggling with the same problem. My deadline is in one week though, but I've tried to solve it for a couple of weeks too. I'd like to change between different cameras during the animation, but it doesn't seem like it's possible. To make it use one of the camera views, you may right-click on the camera and select "camera view" AFTER you've started the rendering process. The first frame that's rendered will be wrong though...

[@q1q1q1q1q1q1q1q11]

thanks for making this, you explained everything i needed in a very clear fashion. bless you!

[@njhrsln]

Wish you have tutorial for latest version of solidworks!

[@matej.mlakar]

Very nice tutorail. But I miss only one thing: When you want to save .avi, the view changes to random position and not camera view (you can see this when he clicks on ''Save animation'' at 06:27 To fix this problem you have to select Key point at ''Orientation and Camer View'' row (that is above of ''Lights, Cameras and Scene'' row), right click on key point and change it to camera vew. Sorry for my bad english

[@terrablader]

why disable view key creation?> What if you have other things going on in the animation at same time is that ok? also when i select on spline it selects whole spline not one end what to do? thanks great info.

[@MRMONKIBONES]

I love the video, however, I am using Solidworks, 2006. I cannot find the motion study tab. What would I do in tis case. Look forward to hearing from you so I can try this process out. Regards Con

[@hahaderekface]

Great job with this. Well explained and at a good pace.

[@riteshramautar1862]

hi, if I save the video the saved video is not with the camera walk-trough view. How is this possible

[@DANILOEUSTAQUIO]

if I save this camera path in the animation, you get the view of the camera? And if I let the camera fixed?

[@cannon0wood]

Thank you. Short simple and to the point.

[@rbij]

Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. I have created a camera path in a separate sketch. When I jump into the camera settings SW shows there is a sketch, but it does not show the sketch itself. Therefore I cannot select it for my camera to follow. Any ideas on why it disappears as soon as I go into the camera settings?

[@rashlyprins4597]

Hi Eliuth... thanks for sharing this video with us much appreciated, however l have one issue... my camera does not follow my sketch path and its frustrating me because lve watched your video over and over and followed instructions step by step, but still my camera does not follow the path that was sketched.. What am l doing wrong??? Please help thanks in advance.

[@minaljain3877]

I am unable to save avi video from camera view every time i go to save video , ir convert the view from camera to front view pls help me

[@EliuthCruz]

solution here: i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag245/eliuthcc/Untitled_zps0muaqniv.png

[@ttbooster]

Eliuth Cruz Where do you right click? I don't see this menu anywhere wherever I right click or whichever button I click ? Maybe add description to image. I'm running SW '14 Own answer: Disable View key creation

[@EliuthCruz]

I just right clicked on the second black diamond...

[@ft7397]

same here even if i choose camera view as soon as i click save avi it jumps back to normal view

[@alexgeorge7951]

After right-clicking the second black diamond, I selected "Camera view". This seemed to permanently set the perspective.

[@mykegoh]

TQ....was looking high and low for this.

[@Monky1949]

Although it's an old video of the process, it still works for current versions!!

[@simranjeetsingh3592]

M having some problem. Camera automatically rolls while traveling through a path. M tired of finding, wats causing it to rotate it undesirably.Dear sir, kindly tell wts wrong with my procedure.

[@ukhtiwa]

helo..i wanna ask u something,why in my solidworks does'nt appear the 'Lights Cameras and Scenes' ...i just have the Sensors,Annotations...the 'Light Cameras and Scenes didnt...help me..

[@reverbflange]

Wow, very informative video! Thanks so much! My question to you, when I go to add a camera, I see lights, direction, and scenes, but when I expand the folder, I only have directional 1,2 and 3 and Ambient. I have no option to "Add" a camera... am I missing some part of the software?

[@pooface999]

How do i make it save the video in camera view? Everytime i change it and save it it just has a the starting view for the whole video. p.s great tutorial!

[@spacedarkness3253]

Is there a way to save that animation in camera perspective? I cannot see that option when saving an animation, I only see SolidWorks view mode.

[@emanl84]

I have a problem: After I complete the sketch of the path, it is then not highlighted on the piece, therefore I cannot select it during the setting of camera parameters as a path to follow... How comes?

[@hussainbhavnagarwala2596]

Your Assembly is rendered, how do you render before taking the walk through video?

[@XenoEXTornado]

***** It's not rendered. He just has a powerful machine!

[@terrablader]

what i mean is the camera is not snapping to the spline

[@capnthepeafarmer]

Very good primer for animator! You also sound a little like Bill Murray.

[@master_shake]

can anyone give me a hand? i want to export the video from the point of view of the camera but i cant, i have already activated camera views but i get the video from the normal point of view

[@ExplosiveLee]

You are awesome; thank you for the great help in Animation in Solidworks.

[@MosquiToEffecT]

The sketch isn't seen and I can not select it for the camera position in SW2012.

[@terrablader]

ok i think i got it.. but why turn off key creation? BTW your the only person one the internet that explains this Thanks!

[@hansph00508]

Thanks a lot dude, greetings from mexico!

[@MyEnterprize]

It took me awhile but I got it to do some basic maneuvers. SW2012

[@ing.gustavodelacruzh.9716]

nothing but thank you very much sir for a great tutorial.

[@andyworkman5768]

Great thanks, worked first time.

[@adamjensen5015]

Can i make the 3D?

[@CRAMOSinnovations]

I missed a step somewhere... I see the camera POV but when I hit play, it jumps out to an iso overview and only shows the camera moving through the path.. Any ideas? Great video thanks! Subscribed!

[@CRAMOSinnovations]

Never mind I got it to work, but I do have some parts of the model looking transparent. It only shows in motion feature, is anyone else having problems in that area?

[@mvoorhis]

@pooface999 i'v got the same problem did you figure it out?

[@joseconcepcionaguilarsegur6029]

Excellent, thank you, thank you very much.

[@ukirockon]

Thanks for sharing. appreciate it.

[@SJester81]

@mvoorhis ...and I'm struggling with the same problem. I fixed it once, accidentally. And deadline is tonight...

[@Akrum87]

one of the best ever seen, thanks

[@speedracer3967]

I am using SW 2014 and I am trying to create a fly-through. I followed your video and I have encountered a problem. When I chose the Top Plane to set my spline, the plane always sets up below the assembly. I try to raise it up to the middle of the assembly, but it will not budge. I cannot move the assembly, so I am at a loss as to what to do. Please help, if you can as I can find NOTHING from SW on this. Thanks

[@EliuthCruz]

you must create a new plane using reference geometry plane

[@abboberg]

No mention of what if timeline does not appear, but the motion study tree on the left does. Typicial SW demo with missing information - worthless.

[@geraldo6114]

Very good, thanks

[@matej.mlakar]

as I noticed a lot of people had problem with this, so please give me or anybody else who did an explanation, so the others can see the comment while checking this video

[@MrRefract]

You nailed it. Thanks!

[@ducthang9xart]

very good, thank you

[@grytisch]
