Hi,
I want to create a movie that can alternatively show the different navigation mesh og geometry, exactly as in the stadium evacuation video shown on the Pathfinder website.
In Tours, I tried to assign keyframes to different views, some views showing only Nav mesh and some views showing the FDS or Pathfinder geometry. This doesn't work. I've tried to look at tutorials without success.
Is there an easy way or trick to make geometry appear of disappear at different time of videos?
Thanks in advance
Georges

To show or hide different types of geometry in a movie, you can use a 3D modeling software such as Blender or 3ds Max. These software programs allow you to import 3D models and manipulate them in a virtual environment.

Here's a general workflow that you can follow:

Import your 3D models into the software. This can be done by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Import" or "Import 3D Model."

Create a new camera and position it in the desired location. You can do this by going to the "Add" menu and selecting "Camera."

Set the viewport display settings to show or hide the different types of geometry that you want to include in your movie. You can do this by going to the "Viewport Display" settings and selecting or deselecting the types of geometry that you want to show or hide.

Set keyframes for the camera and geometry at the desired points in the movie. Keyframes allow you to specify changes that should occur at a specific point in time. For example, you can set a keyframe for the camera to move to a new location at a specific time in the movie, or you can set a keyframe for the visibility of a piece of geometry to change.

Render the movie. Once you have set all of the keyframes and made any other desired changes to the scene, you can render the movie by going to the "Render" menu and selecting "Render Animation." This will generate a series of images that make up the movie.

Use a video editing software to combine the rendered images into a single movie file. There are many different video editing software programs available, such as Movavi Screen Recorder for Mac (https://www.movavi.com/screen-recorder-mac/), that you can use to do this. Simply import the rendered images into the software and arrange them in the desired order, then export the final movie.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
