Rendered movies

We are looking to create some sort of rendered movie file such as eDrawings
from Solid Works. I have found some things such as Productview express but
you would have to send customers ProE files. (=bad)

There is an option to save ProE files as a WWW format. WHen this option is
selected, a folder is created with a bunch of usaeless .html files, a vrml
folder with .wrl files and a jpg folder with shaded views.

Anybody know what program may use this WWW format, or how to create rendered
movies?

 

I'm not familiar with the "WWW" format but, I know of a great tool to create
photo-rendered movies in various standard movie file formats. It's called;
IPA http://www.immdesign.com/ . I use it to generate rendered animations
that we've incorporated into MS PowerPoint presentations, internal web pages
& etc. The product is compatible with various 3D solid design tools
including Solid Works but, I've only used it with ProE models. Note: from
the output you described with the "WWW" data, it appears that you need some
sort of VMRL viewer internet browser plug-in (such as Cosmo or Java3D) to
view the animation.

 

VRML is not an animation - it is real interactive 3D...
(you´d better get yourself a cosmo or cortona plugin).
Unfortunately it needs bandwidth - no chance for dialup.
