A model deformation is any change in the model’s shape: twists, expansions, contractions, and character rigging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These types of animations required advanced techniques available in CAD packages such as Maya and 3DS Max. While KeyShot does not offer a \u201cdeformation\u201d animation, it does still support deformations set up in CAD and exported to an Alembic (.ABC) or FBX1<\/sup> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to import your deformation animations:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.<\/strong> Click the Import button (or File > Import) in KeyShot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong>\u00a0Browse to your Alembic (.ABC) or FBX file and click Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong>\u00a0From the\u00a0KeyShot Import<\/em>\u00a0dialogue >\u00a0Animation<\/em>\u00a0enable\u00a0Entire Animation <\/em>and\u00a0confirm your\u00a0Import<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> Click Play<\/em> in the animation timeline to play a preview in real-time. You may also click and drag the time scrubber in the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The file will import and appear as an animation node on the\u00a0Animation Timeline<\/em>\u00a0where it may be positioned and re-sized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After the import is finished KeyShot will cache the animation as .luxT files for faster loading and smaller file sizes. The cache files are located in the resource folder > Animations<\/em>. A .bip file needs these .luxT files to load the animation. Saving the scene as a .ksp will include the .luxT files in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1<\/sup>KeyShot supports deformable animations from FBX files that are cached as .mc or .mcx files, or animations that use rigging.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29916,"featured_media":0,"parent":6136,"menu_order":5,"template":"","manualdocumentationcategory":[13],"manual_doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6280","manual_documentation","type-manual_documentation","status-publish","hentry","manualdocumentationcategory-keyshot"],"yoast_head":"\n
