Hi,

I am wanting to animate an engine crankshaft assembly that I have drawn in SharkFX, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to what software to use.
I've seen a Solidworks animation recently, but that's Windows (my primary OS is Mac) & way too pricey for me, as I have a hobbyist rather than a commercial interest at the moment.
I also believe you can do this with Keyshot, but that's too pricey for me too.
I can use Windows via Bootcamp or a Parallels virtual environment.

Thanks
Mike
PS Are there any plans to incorporate this functionality in future versions?
