Colors provide an easy mechanism to offer choices on your products. One easy and effective mechanism to showcase this variety on your website is through simple animations saved as flash. With 3DPaintBrush, you can animate your 3D models in different colors and export as an animation sequence in SWF, AVI, XAML and even JPGs.
Here is what you can do to create materials and color animations, like the one shown above, in 3DPaintBrush :-
- Open your SketchUp or any other model in 3DPaintBrush.
- Change material properties of the model to what you would like at the beginning of the animation.
- Move the animation tracker in the animation toolbar, and modify the material properties from the properties panel to animate.
- A property line gets created in the Animation toolbar.
- Repeat the previous two steps to add as many variations as you like.
- When you are done, Export as Shockwave Flash (*.swf) and save it on disk.
- You can now use this animated SWF file on your websites.
Give it a try. Its fast and easy.
