Computer Animation - The “art” of creating moving images via the use of computers.
(www.wikipedia.org)
|
We must have given the wrong name to our new Animation Tools, because there is no art involved! Animations created in The Crash & Crime Zone are realistic depictions of the event, based completely on the accurate data you measure at the site. There is no computer magic being done behind the scenes!

| |
You can quickly create a movie that shows the motion of vehicles, people, bullets - anything that was moving at the scene. Once you have measured the scene and created your diagram, there are just five easy steps to create a court-room ready animation:
|
| 1. |
Place reference symbols at each documented position of the objects being animated, such as vehicles inolved in a crash. |
| 2. |
Draw the path the objects took using lines, arcs, and curves. |
| 3. |
Define Key Event Points where changes in velocity and direction take place. |
| 4. |
Run the animation. |
| 5. |
Pat yourself on the back for creating a professional animation in minutes and saving yourself thousands of dollars by not having to buy another expensive program or add-on module! | |

The best thing about these animations is that you can create them with the software
you already use! There is no expensive add-on module to buy and no outrageous annual maintenance costs!
These powerful new Animation Tools are included in
The Crash Zone and The Crime Zone Version 8!
|
| |
The resulting animations are easy to create, impressive to watch, and as accurate as your own data. You can easily verify that the animation is correct because the animated object will pass exactly through the reference symbols you initially placed. Here are some of the features of these amazing new tools:

Create animations with the software you already use! These powerful new Animation Tools are included in The Crash Zone and The Crime Zone Version 8! In other words there is no expensive add-on module to buy and no outrageous annual maintenance costs! |
| |
ü |
2D or 3D – You choose whether you wish to display your animations in 2D or 3D (it’s all included!). All calculations of the object’s position and velocity are based on x,y,z coordinate measurements, and yaw, pitch, and roll at any time as the object moves along the path you define. |
| |
ü |
View from any position – View your 3D animations from any stationary point to show exactly what a witness described. |
|
| |
|
ü |
Key Event Points (KEPs) – Define Key Event Points that show exactly where objects change velocity and direction, all based on the exact points you measured at the scene. Don’t let the software make any assumptions! |
| ü |
Validate it – As the animation progresses, the vehicles (or other objects) should pass exactly through the reference symbols that you initially placed at measured locations. This lets you verify the animation’s accuracy. If they do not, edit your KEPs to fix it! |
|
| |
| ü |
Create collisions - Synchronize any objects so they always collide at exactly the right position. |
| ü |
Double-precision, Floating Point Accuracy – All calculations in The Crash Zone and Crime Zone are done with extreme accuracy – more then eight places to the right of the decimal point! |
| ü |
Combine satellite images and photographs – Use satellite images or digital photographs as a backdrop to your animations to show the exact details of the scene. Makes for even more impressive presentations! |
| ü |
Real time play back – All animations are displayed in real time, regardless of your computer’s processor speed. The faster your computer, the smoother the animation will run.
|
|
|
|
ü |
Frames saved individually – You define how many frames per second, up to 100 (30 is standard). An image file (.jpg or .bmp) is saved for each frame, with the position and velocity data printed on it. Print individual frames for use in reports or presentations. |
|
| |
ü |
Compatible with Windows Movie Maker – Watch your animations in Crash Zone or Crime Zone, or create a movie and display it in the industry-standard Windows Movie Maker (free from Microsoft). |
|
Because CAD Zone animations are based completely on your measurements
at the scene, they are easy to defend in court. In fact, CAD Zone animations
have not been rejected as evidence by any court!
