Machine Simulator

Would this thread help you start with the animations?

Animating Surfaces using C#

Make sure that all surfaces have their render meshes generated before you start the animation. Otherwise, at each frame the meshes need to be generated first, which can take some time. Also for (int e = 0; e < 9999999; e++) {} I assume this is some sort of pause? You’re better off with RhinoApp.Wait(10); // in milliseconds Another option would be to do this drawing in a display conduit, instead of by hiding and showing. This would involve a “director” that does this: static int frame = 0; …
