Can I influence the camera perspective?
Sometimes certain parts of a product should be shown in more detail when the user configures them. For example, if the user selects the gears in a bicycle configurator, they should mainly be visible in the 3D view. Cameras can be created for this purpose and assigned to a step or feature. As soon as the user selects a step or feature, the system automatically switches to this camera perspective.
Requirements
- You have created a 3D configurator.
Assign camera to a configuration step
If you want to switch to a camera as soon as the customer selects a step:
- Switch to Loading....
- Click on the pencil icon behind the name of the step.
- Set the perspective as you want it.
- Click on Loading...in the sidebar.
- You can change the following properties:
- Give the camera a name (for example: "Gear shift").
- Select a focus type:
- a static camera never changes its position and direction.
- a dynamic camera captures certain models and is moved so that they are visible.
- If necessary, select which models the camera should capture.
- (In developer mode: Specify object names from 3D models to be focused on)
- Select whether the camera should track changes to 3D models by showing/hiding or for dynamic models. With a large percentage, you prevent the cameras from Cameras from moving constantly. With a small number, the camera is tracked more precisely.
- Press Loading....
Assign camera to a feature
If you want to switch to a camera as soon as the customer selects a step:
- Switch to Loading....
- Click on the pencil icon behind the name of the feature.
- Switch to the Loading...tab
- Set the perspective as you want it.
- Click on Loading...in the sidebar at the bottom.
- You can change the following properties:
- Give the camera a name (for example: "Gear shift").
- Select a focus type:
- a static camera never changes its position and direction.
- a dynamic camera captures certain models and is moved so that they are visible.
- If necessary, select which models the camera should capture.
- (In developer mode: Specify object names from 3D models to be focused on)
- Select whether the camera should track changes to 3D models by showing/hiding or for dynamic models. With a large percentage, you prevent the cameras from Cameras from moving constantly. With a small number, the camera is tracked more precisely.
- Press Loading....
Setting up the camera for screenshots
If you want to send a PDF, for example, you can take pictures with cameras.
- Click on Loading...in the editor.
- Here you will see existing cameras.
- To create a new one, click on Loading...
- You can change the following properties:
- Give the camera a name (for example: "Gear shift").
- Select a focus type:
- a static camera never changes its position and direction.
- a dynamic camera captures certain models and is moved so that they are visible.
- If necessary, select which models the camera should capture.
- (In developer mode: Specify object names from 3D models to be focused on)
- Select the resolution of the image. A maximum of 1920 pixels in both directions is permitted.
- Press Loading....
You can create several cameras. The images are inserted in the PDF and can also be viewed in the order list.
If you do not create a camera for screenshots, the current view at the time of ordering will be used.
