Hi Mark,
I'd recommend RDV for this - check out www.rdvsystems.com
They have samples for viewing online and trial downloads available to see how easy and practical the software is.
cheers,

Thanks for the information. Can you send out any help concerning rendering time and motion path animations. We are trying to implement the option as a marketing tool here but have found the process to be painfully slow. We do have the Autodesk required system configuration, although I feel it is the minimum.

Hey Sean, you obviously have too much time on your hands! (Nice work though)

We’ve all seen this in AutoCAD demos on many different releases over the years but many of us never really had the need/motivation to dig into it.
The shadows in 2008 are particularly slick and well worth looking into.

  • Move/stretch the geometry - shadows update.
  • Change time of day setting - shadows update.

All this is possible with standard AutoCAD / Civil 3D 2008 - but there is a bit of configuration required. Also, when it is set up, publish to RDV - the lighting/shadow scheme comes across with the geometry (and textures).
