==Introduction==
This page explains how to make a 3D animation using the SMS software.  SMS version 11.0 has been used for this example, however good results can also be achieved using older versions of SMS. As a minimum you will need a licence for the SMS VIZ edition (see [http://www.aquaveo.com/sms-pricing SMS pricing)].
<br>
==Data Required==
As a minimum you will need:<br>
* Digital Elevation Model/TIN;
* Aerial Photography; and
* Model Results.
Together with aerial photography, the 2D results for Tutorial Module 3 are used here. The complete model is available from the Downloads section of the <u>[http://www.tuflow.com/ TUFLOW website]</u>.
<br>
==Creating a 3D Animation==
The 2D results include the ground elevation (.2dm), water level (_h) and velocity (_v) and datasets. The following steps may equally be followed using other datasets you may have.

<li>Begin by opening in SMS the ground elevation (.2dm) and 2D results datasets using the '''M03_5m_001.ALL.sup'''results file located in the '''TUFLOW\results\M03\2d''' folder together with the aerial photography '''Aerial_Photo_M01.jpg''' available in the '''Module_Data\Aerial_Photos\SMS''' folder.</li>
<li>SMS should now look something like this:

<li>To view the 2D mesh at a pseudo-3D oblique view, open the ''Display Options >> 2D Mesh'' window and check the Elements on. Using the Rotate tool [[File:SMS Rotate Icon.png]] you can drag the map view and change ot an oblique view.
