Is it possible to make a long motion movie?

[arnou-verfaillie]

Hello there

Back again with the motion studies. Is there any way to make longer motion studies than 10s?

What I'm trying to achieve: I now have my robot motion seperated in 3 sequential motion studies, due to the robot making to much movement for 10s. Is there anyway to "couple" these motion studies so I have a complete movie of 30s? 

I have no idea if there is any solution for this, other than doing it in windows movie maker after I've extracted the clips. Googling this did not give me any solutions.

Hi @arnou-verfaillie,

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a good way to do this today.  There are a couple of ways that we could address this.

1. Enhancements to Motion Study.  100 time steps is limiting.  Here is an idea about that:  motion-study-number-of-steps.
2. Enhancements to the Animation workspace.  Today, you cannot run an animation that obeys joints or which has Motion Study-like capability.  That idea is here:  allow-joints-to-constrain-animations

Ok, thanks for the advice. Gave them both a vote, so hopefully we will be able to do such thing in the future!
