alice-teacher Question about object position.

[Edward Bujak]

For each fish object, place a invisible shape (here cone) at each fish:cone1 setPointOfViewTo fish1  time=0cone2 setPointOfViewTo fish2  time=0
Note that setPointOfViewTo is position and orientation.Then you can move the fish around.
You can later do the reverse and have each fish moved back to his/her original position and orientation.
Is this what yo are looking for?

Subject: alice-teacher Question about object position.

Hello all,
This is my first year teaching Alice.  It's been great so far.  My 12th grade students have a final project assignment.  They are animating a children's book using the various techniques we have learned all year.  One of my students has run into a problem that I am not sure how to solve.
He is animating the book Swimmy.  He has a lot of fish objects arranged in the shape of a larger fish.  As part of the story, he wants the fish to disperse and then come back into the shape of the larger fish.
Is there a way to capture the position of objects in a scene and bookmark it similar to the way you can set up scenes?  I didn't know if a pose capture would work since each piece of the larger fish is an individual object.
I hope that question made sense.
Thank you in advance.
