Benjamin Fennell (Nov 09 2024 at 20:18): Benjamin Fennell (Nov 09 2024 at 20:18):Over the past two days I tried my hand at animating a few different things.
Here is one of them:
ring.mp4
I did not fully understand how the "rot" command worked, so at the end the ring-thing's animation was a little weird.
Daniel Rossberg (Nov 10 2024 at 16:59):Nevertheless, the resulting video is impressive.
Benjamin Fennell (Nov 16 2024 at 11:14):I made another animation that shows the "skeleton" of a tgc. Or at least how I think of tgcs.

The bottom red pole coming from the yellow vertex is representative of the A vector, the bottom blue pole of the B vector, and the maroon pole of the H vector. The top poles are akin to the magnitudes C and D, which are colored red and blue respectively. The red ring is the base size, and the blue ring is the ending point or top size.
I do have a better quality version, but the file is 53 Megabytes, so I only uploaded the compressed version.
Daniel Rossberg (Nov 16 2024 at 15:18):Very impressive. What's your goal?
Benjamin Fennell (Nov 16 2024 at 15:40):I do not have any particular goal in mind with this animation. But perhaps at some point I will make some tutorials related to BRL-CAD. But I should learn more about the tools provided by BRL-CAD first.
Benjamin Fennell (Dec 08 2024 at 19:25):I made the following animation to help illustrate how viewing angles work in BRL-CAD. It does not demonstrate different sizing , only azimuth, elevation, and twist. It is a bit rough around the edges. I do not intend to make a prettier animation, since I only wanted the script for figures and such.

PS. The animation shows a perspective view.
