qmsm_shape_mode_viewer

A tool for animating the modes of a shape model

A tool which allows a user to

Load in a shape model and an associated set of curves
Animate one of the modes
Save frames for one or several modes (to allow a movie to be created)

The shape model is assumed to have been built by msm_build_shape_model or equivalent tool.
Usage: qmsm_shape_mode_viewer [-s shape_model.msm] [-c curves.crvs] [cc curve_colors.ccol] where curves.crvs is a curves file and shape_model.msm contains an msm_shape_model object (for instance, built by the msm_build_shape_model tool.
curve_colors.ccol is a text file defining the colours of each curve. See setting curve colours.
