Exporting animation from ARCHICAD is very simple, here we describe the process in a few steps:



  • First you have to make sure Maxwell Render Engine is the current ARCHICAD render engine. (You can set it inside the PhotoRendering Settings dialog.)

  • Start animation export (by clicking on Sun Study or Fly- Through)

  • In the upcoming dialog you have to change the Source from 3D Window to PhotoRendering Window. You can set other parameters as you wish.

 

  • Click on the Show button to start scene export.

  • After the plugin finishes exporting the animation frames it opens a dialog where you can choose if you want to render the animations frames in Maxwell (in sequence), in the Network System (it will open the Monitor to create a network job) or in the Cloud System (it will open the Monitor to create a Cloud Job). If you choose to render in Maxwell directly, you will also be able to set the render time and sampling level limits. Start animation render with the Render Animation button or click Cancel if you don't want to render the frames right now; in this case, the exported frames will be kept in the output folder.
