#Animation Speed
9 messages in this thread
What factors limit the speed of wireframe animation in the trueSpace interface?
Is it as fast as possible? Since every frame number is displayed in the status
window is it correct to conclude that the animation cannot be sped up further?
In trueSpace 2.0, there is an option to select the 'base frame rate' (NTSC, PAL
or Film). None of these appear to effect the time taken to animate N frames in
wireframe.

Wireframe speed depends on video card speed.
trueSpace 2.0 is not exactly a video intensive application. Even a small model
typically requires a lot of computing ( CPU time ) which therefore tends to be
much greater than the time to display the result on the screen (through the
video card).
However, there are video cards that can take over a large portion of the
computation. But the question is whether trueSpace displays wireframe
animations at rate that is comfortable to view, or at a standard rate such as
NTSC, PAL or as fast as possible? Does trueSpace attempt to control the rate
(frames per sec) ?
Can someone from Caligari clarify?

It plays them as fast as it can in wireframe.
You can change the wireframe playback speed by shortening the bars in the
animation project window.
The frames per second setting is fairly simple. When you render an animation of
lets say 180 frames and choose the 30 FPS option, then you get 6 seconds of
animation.
Please do not mention trueSpace2 features here until it's released. Thanks.
I'm sorry for the error. I didnt understand the scope of this forum.
No biggie.. They don't like it, though.. <g>
Thanks.
What I should really have said is some things are "publically" available (at
least they mentioned it here — usually the first place for information). Other
parts are not. (Caligari has put a preliminary list of trueSpace2 up here in
the past.) If you're not sure what is/isn't available, your safest bet is not
to mention it.. <g> I didn't want it to sound like I was coming down hard or
anything.. Just some advice.
Thanks..
