Animating

JetStream allows the recording, playing and editing of both your movement through the model and views of the model. An animation toolbar is provided for the recording and playback of animations and this is linked to the Viewpoints control bar, which can be used to make animations from scratch by building up an animation frame by frame (viewpoint by viewpoint). The Viewpoints control bar can then be used to save, edit, rearrange and manage your animations in folders, including inserting cuts and dragging and dropping animations onto other animations to build up a more complex animation from simpler ones. At any time during an animation playback, you can stop the animation and have a real time look around before restarting it. Once you are happy with the animation, you can export it as an .avi file.

It is worth remembering that you can hide items in viewpoints, override colors and transparencies and set multiple section planes and these will all be respected by an animation. This way you can very simply create powerful animations.
