alice-teacher s Digest, Vol 56, Issue 2

[Michael L Owen]

The best advice is to learn the products you use in class. Programming is a combination of art, logic, design, and innovation. If you can't find a way in a textbook to make something work, then take what you have and write some code using the available tools to make it happen. You can't find an answer in a book if it hasn't been tried.
Moving and/or turning the camera with zero duration or fade is a good way to accomplish the task. You will notice, however, that the lighting and shadows will change slightly when you flip.
 
Now Innovate:
The attached example uses  a different technique to accomplish the task using markers, and is done with no camera movement. I'm using 3.2.5.0.0 on 64-bit Win7 box, and did run into a possible BUG (after completing the first run the ground went white with a rendering error in setup pane (not the execution pane). I had to close Alice3, and reload the world to get the original Ground paint back. Hopefully, the development team can address this problem.

> How do you do a scene change in Alice 3.1?  I've seen the question asked many times, but not answered. Is it impossible?  I thought I'd done it before, but can't remember what I did.
