Saving the file to a Voxler .VOXB file using the File | Save command is a great way of sharing models. Any other Voxler user can open the .VOXB file. The .VOXB file will appear exactly as you see it. The other person can rotate the graphic to the desired orientation and experiment with any settings. If the person does not have Voxler, they can download the demo to experiment with the model themselves.
If the person simply wants to view the model, capturing and sending them a video is a good way to share the information contained in the Voxler model. You can rotate the view as you create the video, you can zoom in and out, or turn modules on or off, to present the information in the video in the way you prefer.
To capture a video:
Adjust the Viewer window to the desired size for the video by clicking the window Restore button. Alternatively you can adjust the size of the Voxler application window. The video capture will use the size of the current Viewer window. The size of the window will affect the file size of the final .AVI file.
Click the Actions | Capture Video command. The Capture Video dialog opens.
Change the Path to specify a location where you want to save the captured video. The default path location is C:\Users\<user name>\Documents\VoxlerVideo.avi.
Adjust the Frame rate to 15, which is a value that produces good results.
Adjust the Quality to 80% with the slider.
Click the Start Capture button to begin the video capture. The Estimated time (sec), Estimated file size (MB), and Estimated frames information is dynamically displayed during capture.
Rotate or zoom the Viewer window if you wish.
Click the Stop Capture button to end the video capture. The Estimated time (sec), Estimated file size (MB), and Estimated frames information is statically displayed when the video has successfully completed.
If you are using the demo version of Voxler you will not be able to use the Actions | Capture Video command.
