Fusion 360 Quick Tip | Basics of Animations | Everything You Need To Know (Almost)  

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it helped! I really wish you could render the animations but it is better than nothing :)

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Yes one simple trick someone on the fusion 360 forums mentioned was to set a huge rectangle, modify the appearance and then set that behind your main body / animation to give it a background. works ok and sure looks better than plain white!

Very Welcome!

Awesome! David has some great content on his channel and maybe one day in the future we could do a collab. Welcome!

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Would love to see it! I'm going to try to learn a lot more 3D modeling with CAD programs soon, so I'll def be needing your channel.

Thanks!

The output is an .avi file. i record avi files for screen capture and play them back in either VLC player or camtasia with no issues. What media player are you using? It is possible you don't have the proper codec to play avi files. If so VLC is free and you might give that one a shot. It will let you convert/save it as an mp4 if you need.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign that must be it. I wass using windows standard media players . thank you i will try vlc ... !

Yeah glad you sorted it out! Animations require components. If you have a component with multiple bodies they will all move as one object. The reason for this is because Fusion tracks the coordinate system which is associated with each component. That way it doesn't affect the design at all.

Vasu, do you mean for production? or do you just want to model them for a reference?

are you on a windows or mac machine? The recent Fusion update hasn't changed this at all so it is either a graphics thing or a difference in win/mac. The timeline and browser both "render" over top of the modeling window slightly different than the animation itself. Do you notice any issues with the Browser also?

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign No issues with browser as I know. I just ran and checked on my laptop and figured it works there as intended. Currently reinstalling to see if it sorts itself out

Yeah that is a new one for me. Not many people use Animations but I have never run across that issue myself or with anyone else. I know this is usually a goto but I would check the graphics card driver. You can do that from the help menu under Support and Diagnostics. there is a graphics diagnostic that lets you toggle some settings and check for an update. There are some display options that can help with performance but I haven't heard of that changing the animation timeline.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Reinstalling didn't help. Docking up my laptop now in frustration x) oh man...

what graphics card is in the system that isn't working? and which one in the system that is?
