Reckeen 3D Studio and 3D Animations

2 new features are coming soon in the next free update release of Reckeen 3D Studio:

Animations of any 3D object on a scene

Moving animations can be added to any object. For example, a graph or a monitor can suddenly appear in a form of moving animations.
Simple object can be animated in 3 phases (intro, maintenance, outro).

Intro:

  • set duration of a phase
  • rotate object around x,y,z axis
  • move object from x,y,z offset to current object position
  • zoom out from 0 to 100% size

Maintenance:

  • set duration of a phase
  • rotate object around x,y,z axis
  • move object by x,y,z offset and back to current position
  • zoom from 100% size, then 0 size  and back to 100% size
  • single animation
  • loop animation
  • ping-pong rotation
  • phase activated by a trigger or automatically when intro phase is finished.

Outro:

  • set duration of a phase
  • rotate object around x,y,z, axis
  • move object by x,y,z offset
  • zoom out to 0 size
  • phase activated by a trigger or automatically when maintenance phase is finished.

Import and play animated objects from 3D programs

(e.g. an airplane model can be inserted and spread into parts – if the animation is prepared in a correct way as stated below)

Reckeen 3D Studio enables you to insert 3D animations that are built based on position, rotation and scale modifications. Currently, we do not support bone animation yet (Rigid body). Any object that has the parameter “Animated Yes” in its specification means that such animation can be inserted. An object with an additional “Rigged” option (bone / skeleton animation) will be treated as an ordinary object. Reckeen 3D Studio supports and recommends animations in FBX format.

There are many portals with free and paid objects and animations, such as:

https://free3d.com/3d-models/animated-fbx

You can search for animations in different categories: Architecture, Vehicles, Characters, Furniture, Electronics, Animals, Plants, Sports, Food, and Anatomy and choose from ready animated objects.

Animations can be very useful for example in medical applications – we can animate a human body – e.g. animation of blood flow, animation of removing an organ to see what’s behind it, etc.

Both of these new features will help to liven up your 3D set design.
