P3D Anima Suite is an essential tool for enriching your product presentations and developing your visual argument by giving them a live, attractive dimension.

This animation module offers great flexibility in the freedom of creation of your animations. The available tools allow you to control each element simply and methodically.

This multi-purpose software is relatively easy to set up. It is composed of two main parts. The first is the view window via which you can monitor the result of the animation played. The second is the editing window, in which you can create animation channels for controlling the various elements of your model to be animated.

The animation of models in P3D Anima Suite requires preparation of your models in Patchwork3D.

In the Shaper module of Patchwork3D you can adjust the pivot of the main surfaces and create the kinematic chain linking the surfaces with which the animation is concerned. With the Mattermodule, you select and then export the various products of the scene to be animated. It then remains to load your scene into P3D Anima Suite.

Virtually all of the elements of your 3D scene can be animated.

Depending on the intended purpose of your animation, you can choose to animate a moving part by simulating the effect of a mechanical force (e.g. the opening of a door, the lowering of an electric window, etc.), to move the camera around the object so as to explore it in its finest detail, or to animate the values of materials so as to assess the possible range of variations between two products.

You can combine these methods to enrich your animations as you desire.
