ANIMATION Module
Bring Your Wind Farm Visuals to Life
With the ANIMATION module, it only takes few clicks to generate a realistic animation of the photomontage(s) prepared for your wind farm project. Animated visualizations consist of rotating WTG blades in a sequence of renderings called an animation.

Dynamic Visualizations for Real Impact
With the ANIMATION module, you can turn your photomontages into realistic, rotating wind turbine animations. More than just visuals — animations communicate motion, scale, and landscape integration more effectively than static images.
Simple Workflow, Stunning Results
Generate animations effortlessly using the same setup as in the PHOTOMONTAGE module. The module renders each frame with rotating blades to simulate dynamic operation. Whether it’s a public consultation, stakeholder meeting, or permit hearing — your project visuals will stand out.
File Output Made for Sharing
Export your animations in formats like animated GIF, Flash, AVI, or MPEG — ready for websites, presentations, or offline use. You can also share the native .wpa
format with a free EMD animation player for smooth viewing on any PC.
Input Requirements
To create an animation, you’ll need:
-
WTGs: Defined in the BASIS module, using the WTG Catalogue or custom input, with rotor speed included.
-
Camera Object: Includes your calibrated landscape photo and camera model — just as in the PHOTOMONTAGE setup.

Turn Static Views into Engaging Experiences
Use the ANIMATION module to go beyond still images and deliver a realistic, moving view of your wind farm. It’s fast, accurate, and effective — helping you gain stakeholder trust and accelerate project acceptance.
