Animating Assemblies in Blender

In this video I will show you how to animate CAD assemblies (in this case from SolidWorks) in the vfx software Blender. Blender is a free software that has very powerful and intuitive rendering and animating capabilities that far exceed those available in SolidWorks and other similar CAD software. In this video I create a geometry in solidworks, import the files from solidworks to blender, then set up and render the animation in blender. As a bonus I also show a trick for converting a sequence of images into an animation (mp4 file) using the software HitFilm express.
This video is geared towards beginners but can easily be adapted for more complex models and assemblies to quickly achieve near photorealistic results. In my experience, engineers are not familiar that this software exist, and they could really use it for nice presentations and for marketing purposes. I hope this tutorial helps!

Blender animation: 2:33.54

    Dude i have a question, whenever I try to move a part, independently its only selected one, when I move it, the whole model moves... I could achieve moving just one part but I ain't know how... Do you know how to move just a part?

    Make sure to export all of the components into individual files and then you should just be able to select one component and move it independently once in blender

    Hello, Autodesk Inventor is saving or exporting the assembly as a single .stl file with joined bodies. It is not giving separate stl file for each body for the assembly. What to do?

    Ok I got the answer, for anyone wondering. In "Save As", click options and them export as multiple files.

    If the file comes as one or you have multibody parts in one of the files that you want to animate separately, hit Tab in Blender to enter edit mode with the part selected, hit p key and "separate as loose parts". Be sure to set the origin point of each part, but sometimes (say on a piston arm) another point may be more relevant. If a part need multiple points of rotation, parent the part to an empty and animate the empty (both selected, then ctrl+p). Doing some Blender tutorials would be nice too. This guy don't seem to address some of the smoothing issues that may require some cleaning up of the imported geometry.

    It can. If you do, you'll quickly learn why you shouldn't. Imagine a crash/blackout mid render that can take hours to days, or figuring out in the end the output settings were wrong. It's better to assemble the frames at the end, Blender can do this too.

    Yes you can do it without the Cad Modell just in Blender.
