Hi,
I've got the following problem
I've made an animation with 3d Studio Max and exported it in the right way
in the ASE format. In Viewpoint Scene Builder I pasted it through the
animation menue in the MTX file. In this file are the following lines:

But the animation isn't starting, not even with the "triggeranimation()"
command.
Who can help me?
Sincerely:
Jan

I've got the same problem. The animation works fine in the 'builder, but seems to fail in the HTML. The weird thing is that i'm running both a translation animation (moving a box) and the rotation animation. The translation turns out fine, the rotation seems to appear in the .mtx but nothing happens. I've tried making a simple rotating box in Max, with no other objects in the scene, but with the result: No animation (not even a button), when the stuff reaches HTML.

Im due to deliver a presentation Tuesday, anyone with a bright idea?

cheers

Rune

Found it,

In line 7, Your Type is equal to "QUAT". Question, what is QUAT. It should be: Type="R3D".
Remember, when rotating objects, don't rotate beyond 180 degrees between two keyframes. If you want to rotate an object 360 degrees, it is recommended to animate in 90 degree segments.

The other thing is don't have capitals in your naming convention. Name="ring_ANIM" should be "ring_anim" because of Netscape problems and JavaScript.

May the force be with you.

I have an animation of a World Globe that I turn 360 degrees and I rotate it from 0 to 360 in one step. It appears to work very well. What is supposed to happen by not breaking it up in 90 degree segments? I am very new at this.

I'm having trouble with rotation as well. The animation appears to run fine in the builder. But when I publish only the position animation appears to work. I have looked through the other postings here to get ideas of what I may do to correct the problem. But I'm still stuck. I'm very new at this and have been using the SDK C++ sample code to create the MTX file. So when I opened the file to look at it myself. I was a little lost.
I was going to attach the MTX files to this posting so that perhaps someone with better knowledge would be able to take a glance at it. But there doesn't seem to be that option in the reply window. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where/who I could send the sample MTX output file to?

You can send your sample MTX files to QA-Support@viewpoint.com
