Add Animation Property and Setup Target Camera in 3D document

Add Animation property in 3D document

Aspose.3D for Java supports rendering animated scene. This article explains prerequisites to move an object.

Move Cube’s Position

The Mesh class object is being used in the code. We can create a Mesh class object as narrated there and it’s must animate the local translation property of the node too: Adding the Transformation to the Node.

In Aspose.3D for Java API, animation instance is actually key-frame animation that animates on properties. In order animate properties, you need a CurveMapping instance which maps components of a property to different curves, for example, a Vector3 property can have 3 components X/Y/Z, which will set up three channels in CurveMapping, every channel can have a set of Curve.

Setup the Target Camera in 3D File

Aspose.3D for Java offers to setup the target camera in 3D file. In some file formats, light/camera supports target, which allows the light/camera always facing a specified node, this is useful in animation.

The Scene, Camera, Node and Transform classes are being used in the code. in order to save a Scene, Scene.save method is being used, it accepts a file name with complete path and FileFormat parameter.

In below example, the target and camera is setup in 3D file:
