Nicely done James. I have been wanting to experiment with PowerPoint 3D morph as well. Is that what you used to change the perspective on the model or did you do something else? Great graphics and motion.
Thanks Jeffrey. Yes. I found a 3D model that seemed to work with this week's theme in PowerPoint's gallery. Combined with the morph feature, it made it pretty easy to generate videos and then embed them. Using morph, I think this would also work with any several images that had been rotated, so the 3D model isn't critical, but it made it super easy to do. My first crack at 3D/Morph was in a medical course - I rotated a body around to different 'stations' where users could learn about medical treatments. It added a bit more interest than static images and made me look like a 3D Pro - thank goodness for PPT!
If I had had a bit more time this week, I would have generated other videos from position to position. Instead of the way I did it, where the perspective always returns to the base 'station,' I could have generated other videos that showed movement from position A to B, B to A, etc., rather than going back through to the first position. There are so many options using this method. This exercise was a lot of fun.
Thanks for checking it out!
