Shout3D™ 2.0 - Demo Guide

Animation Demos

Animated Transforms

Here are some keyframe-animated pieces, exported from 3D Studio MAX and viewed without user interactivity. They all involve only animated transforms. Note the effect of realtime antialiasing in the logo demo.

Mesh Deformation

Shout3D can export content created with the 3D Studio MAX Morpher modifier for impressive facial animation. It also supports the traditional VRML morphing with the CoordinateInterpolator node, and with an improved version -- the CoordinateNodeInterpolator node.

morphtargets/morph_box_bezier
morphtargets/morph_box_tcb

3D Studio MAX 3 Animation Controllers

The following demos are simple tests to prove that the Shout3D plugin accurately exports from all supported 3D Studio MAX animation controllers. Note the curving paths and fluid accelerations where spline interpolated controllers (Bezier or TCB) are used.

Character Studio Export

You can export skeletal deformation and character animation created with MAX's Character Studio plugin.

Step Interpolation

A StepInterpolator node allows you to animate sudden changes in a scene.

stepInterpolatorTest/booleanStepInterpTest
stepInterpolatorTest/currentTimeStepInterpTest
stepInterpolatorTest/floatStepInterpTest
stepInterpolatorTest/intStepInterpTest
stepInterpolatorTest/nodeStepInterpTest
stepInterpolatorTest/stringStepInterpTest

Animated Texture Transforms

You can animate the transforms applied to textures, as well as geometry.

renderTests/animTex_ifs
renderTests/animTex_specbumpmap

H-Anim

Shout3D supports the H-Anim standard for character animation. Open the Java Console to see how Shout3D can read the H-Anim information about the figure in the file.

Other Animation Demos

You can give users the power to change animations within a scene, and to jump from scene to scene.
