Re: [Flightgear-devel] New features for 3.0 (?) presentation
2013/5/7 Vivian Meazza vivian.mea...@lineone.net: The tracking animation sounds useful - do you have any documentation available? In due course it should end up in fgdata/Docs/model-howto.html with all the other animations. I have now added some examples and a basic documentation to the wiki: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Tracking_animation I will add some more info and images once I find some time for it.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] New features for 3.0 (?) presentation
* Canvas instances can now be placed on scenery objects. This allows for example creating animated signs/monitors. I've started to create a Visual Docking Guidance System, which is not fully functionally yet but should be complete enough to be used for a screenshot (eg. azimuth guidance is missing) If I could get a screenshot from you, that'd be nice. If you want I can create a video of my work in progress C-130J making use of these animations. This sounds very neat! Hm, I guess one could make a video presentation of all animated features (like the trees moving in the wind, or the storm blows dust /leaves effect I'm working on), but maybe someone else should do that - video is not really my area of expertise... * Thorsten -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Thanks, interesting. As a non-Blender user (it makes my brain hurt) the references are a bit obscure. Are the various axes always orthogonal? Can they also be specified in the alternate form: axis x1-m5.1821/x1-m y1-m0.221496/y1-m z1-m0.794147/z1-m x2-m4.99208/x2-m y2-m0.114133/y2-m z2-m0.842884/z2-m /axis If non-orthogonal axes are allowed they are difficult in the center/axis form in the example in the wiki. Perhaps, when you have time, the information could be consolidated in http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Animate_models and fgdata/Docs/model-howto.html Looks like valuable work to me: gear scissor links were very difficult with the existing animations.
