AnaBuilder - Mode d'emploi

(last update : 28/01/2003 )

Art Of Illusion extension : instructions to start

Stereo view of a scene

launch AnaBuilder
in the menu "Outils" choose "Art Of Illusion"
in Art Of Illusion do "File/Open"
in the directory of AnaBuilder, choose "Scenes/plantAB.aoi"
come back to AnaBuilder (without closing Art Of Illusion), if the stereo view doesn't appear : in the menu "Tools" choose "Take views"...

Look !!

adjust the left/right position in AnaBuilder (you should normally use the "left arrow" buttons), and the stereo-camera position in Art of Illusion
to have the final result, in Art Of Illusion, choose "Scene/Render scene" to obtain each of the two views and save them.
reload them in AnaBuilder

If you download scenes on the web with only one camera, AnaBuilder automatically creates a second one, shifted on the right. To move this camera :

choose a view and ask a "Camera 2" visualisation and "parallele"
click on the new camera in the scene, use the right/left arrow of the keyboard the place it at the good position without rotate it

Note : in the list of objects, move the new camera to make it 'child' of the first one, in order to make them linked.

Stereo animation

launch AnaBuilder
in the menu "Outils" choose "Art Of Illusion"
in Art of Illusion do "File/Open"
in the directory of AnaBuilder, choose "TestStereoAnim.aoi"
adjust the left/right position of the views in AnaBuilder like above

Working view of the stereo animation :

in Art of Illusion chose "Tools/Scripts/StereoAnimWorkingViews"
the animation should appear in AnaBuilder in working view quality

With this script, any animation can be stereo viewed : if the scene has only one camera, a second one is automatically created.

Final rendering of the stereo animation :

in Art of Illusion choose "Tools/Scripts/StereoAnimRender"
give a response to each question about the animation rendering (validate if unknown)
the animation should appear in final quality in AnaBuilder, while it is saved on the disque..

With this script, the scène must have 2 cameras.

It is then possible to modify the scripts in order to adjust the time and the number of views...
