add_bird

Modeler3D.add_bird(input_dir, speed=0, global_offset=[0, 0, 0], yaw=0, pitch=0, roll=0, flapping_rate=50, coordinate_system=None, name=None)

Add a Bird Multipart from 3D Components.

It requires a json file in the folder containing bird infos. An example json file is showed here.

Parameters:

input_dirstr

Path to the actor directory. It must contain a json settings file and a 3dcomponent (.a3dcomp file)

speedfloat, optional

Object movement speed with time (m_per_sec).

global_offsetlist, optional

Offset from Global Coordinate System [x,y,z] in meters.

yawfloat, optional

Yaw Rotation from Global Coordinate System in deg.

pitchfloat, optional

Pitch Rotation from Global Coordinate System in deg.

rollfloat, optional

Roll Rotation from Global Coordinate System in deg.

flapping_ratefloat, optional

Motion flapping rate in Hz.

coordinate_systemstr

Relative CS Name of the actor. None for Global CS.

Returns:
