RE: [cgmo-webcgm] user input on step antimation

Benoit,

 

Showing current flow through a wire and showing fluid or gas moving through a tube of pipe could look the same, I don’t think there is a real requirement to show bubbles moving, but just some visual indication that current or liquid or gas is moving through a wire, pipe or tube and the direction it is moving.

 

Regards,

Forrest

Ok.

 

Would anyone have some static CGM samples this group could use to discuss the 'liquid' use cases? I think it would remove some confusion if we all had the same visual idea of what we are dealing with. Perhaps Boeing and/or Airbus would have samples this group could use?

 

Regards,

Benoit.

Benoit,

 

I use the term “Step Animation” to refer to moving or styling objects in discrete steps.

Forrest

Hi Forrest,

 

When you say "Step Animation"... are you talking about the discrete animation the group has been talking about or are you referring the step animation in my email of Sept 6?

 

Regards,

Benoit.

All,

 

We have had discussions with two groups within Lockheed Martin and two vendors that supply interactive technical and training material, below are general comments:

 

Creating animated training materials using applications like Authorware is very expensive.

“Step Animation” would probably work for most applications, but would like to see some examples.

 

Requirements:

            Move, rotate or scale an object.

            Show progressive movement of liquid, gas or current through a wire or pipe

            Show directional flow of liquid, gas or current in a wire or pipe

            Show changes in levels of liquid in a container

            A method that would switch between two styles of an object periodically. (flash or blink)

            Pan or zoom to a section of the drawing.

.

Regards,

Forrest
