  • Use the MotionGenesis™ Animate() command to create output for objects to be animated by external 3rd-party visualization programs, such as Adam Leeper's MGView.
  • Attach multiple shapes (blocks, cylinders, shells, cones, spheres, meshes) to each MotionGenesis RigidBody.
  • Control each object's color, labels, textures, position, and orientation.
  • Vary camera, lighting, animation frame speed, view-frame, etc.
