SMS 3D Animation

Page Currently Under Construction

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 SMS pricing).


Data Required

As a minimum you will need:


• Digital Elevation Model/TIN;
• Aerial Photography; and
• Model Results.

For the example shown here the TUFLOW tutorial dataset has been utilised. The following steps may equally be followed using other datasets you may have.


Creating a 3D Animation

Together with aerial photography, the 2D results for one of the TUFLOW tutorial modules are used here. The 2D results include the ground elevation (.2dm), water level (_h) and velocity (_v) and datasets.
