Our local SGI sales representative, Jim Merson, referred me to this address.
I was hoping that someone might be able to answer a question I have
regarding viewpoints(i.e. ChanView) in Performer. Obviously, a viewpoint
can be moved or animated via x,y,z and h,p,r inputs to ChanView - but is
there an easy was to attach a viewpoint to a DCS? Specifically, I am
creating a visual simulation that involves animating the flight deck motion
on a ship - I have created a new DCS for the ship and have attached a model
to it. We now need to place the viewpoint as if we were an individual
standing at different points on the flight deck as it is pitching, rolling
and heaving. Essentially, I'd like to be able to attach the viewpoint to
the ship's DCS but have been unable to find any reference to such an
operation in the literature. How can this be done? I assume there has to
be provisions for this, as I believe this type of scenario is quite
frequent. So far I've been playing trigonometry games and have only met
with limited success.
Your help is much appreciated.
