How to stop animation from looping.
By: AndyRM Date: May 11, 2011, 10:46 am

Hi - I don't seem to be able to stop any 3D model animations
from continuously looping in Buildar. I have created a .3DS
animation and then converted to fbx using Autodesk converter.
When I load the animation in Buildar 2.0 it does not stop
looping. I have set my animation to not loop before conversion.
Any ideas. Great application by the way!
PS: I have also tried this with a demo .fbx file which is
animated (from Mixamo.com) and the same thing happens. It would
be really useful if I could control the start/stop animation.

Hi Andrew,
Currently the animation of any model will loop indefinitely in
BuildAR. You can, however, trick BuildAR in posponing this loop
by making additional keyframes at the end of the animation, so
that the 3d model stays still for long enough time. For
example, if your animation takes 5 seconds to complete the
movement, add more frames and keyframes in 3DS Max so that the
model doesn't move for a certain amount of time after this 5
seconds. This would result in the model staying still for a
certain amount of time when shown in BuildAR. In most cases
the marker won't be tracked for too long, so this trick might
help to ease the problem.
The next update of BuildAR Pro which we intent to ship very
soon, will have the option to stop the animation when it
finishes.
Best regards,

Details are well suited for people who like to get the
information directly, do not worry anymore.
