Image > Export to *.html

 

Export the image in the monitor window to *. html file. This file can be viewed in any Internet browser.

 

The main html file and separate image files are generated. Images are saved with resolutions according to parameters of each camera. The images are stretched by a browser when viewing. All files are saved in one directory.

 

Image files can be static (*.png), and animated (animated *.gif).

As a result of clicking this button, for some time 3D Video will appear, in which the images from all cameras will be modeled according to saved parameters of the cameras.

 

Camera parameters can be saved on the Camera parameters panel and in the Sensitivity and resolution box.

 

To update the image in one cell click it by the right mouse button and choose in the pop-up menu Update.

Image parameter panel>View>Animation box must be checked;
Number of frames must be more than one;
these settings must be saved in camera parameters.

 

To make visible movement on an animated image,  in the view area 3D models with non-zero speed and (or) object Rotakin must present.
