ASL Scripts / Re: Vehicle Rollover Animation
« on: January 08, 2009, 07:37:13 pm »
Thanks for such a fast reply! I see from your comments that I misunderstood the intent of the ASL scripting capability. What I was hoping for was a script file like:
$position=(0.0, 50.0, 0.0)
$position=(0.0, 100.0, 50.0) ...
with 10 positions or so. I hoped I could setup a template Anim8or file with a single vehicle object and edit the position entries in the text file or script to produce different rollover scenarios. I wanted to develop a means to shortcut the process of manually trasferring 6 degree of freedom coordinates and time data from AutoCAD to Anim8or. If I had it all in a text file or script, it would be much easier to error-check, too.
Before I drop this and go on manually keyframing each crash, can you think of ideas on how to simplify this process?
Thanks again,
Don
P.S. I need to bring my aerial photos (like the one in the JPG I uploaded) into my Anim8or file and map it to the ground plane so it's proportional to the vehicle scale and motions. Do you have any suggestions on how to do so or where to find an example?
