Summary


Details

When a user generates an animation of an assembly, or a flyover of a part, they may also need to make a photorealistic visualization through the Keyshot application. To do so, after completing the animation with ERA, invokes the add-on with the "Keyshot Render" button in the "Keyshot" group. 

Keyshot launch Buttons

The rendering scene can be edited, for instance, by adding materials and lights. Some users run ERA to animate models or scenes (flying cameras) and then export the data to Keyshot, but the timeline window in this application cannot be opened, and an error message appears:

Keyshot message window

Solution

There is only a way to transfer the entire set of animation, including models and ERA data.

To achieve the data transfer required by the user, the button located on the left pane of the Animation Editor should be pressed:

Animation Editor (ERA)

Notes

As indicated in the error message, if more animation functions are required, the user should make an upgrade to the complete version of Keyshot. This version is not provided by Siemens. To acquire the upgrade, Luxion (Keyshot's developer) must be contacted.
