render_movie: Render Movie

In rayshader: Create Maps and Visualize Data in 2D and 3D

Render Movie

Description

Renders a movie using the av or gifski packages. Moves the camera around a 3D visualization using either a standard orbit, or accepts vectors listing user-defined values for each camera parameter. If the latter, the values must be equal in length to 'frames' (or of length '1', in which the value will be fixed).

Usage

render_movie(
  filename,
  type = "orbit",
  frames = 360,
  fps = 30,
  phi = 30,
  theta = 0,
  zoom = NULL,
  fov = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  title_text = NULL,
  title_offset = c(20, 20),
  title_color = "black",
  title_size = 30,
  title_font = "sans",
  title_bar_color = NULL,
  title_bar_alpha = 0.5,
  image_overlay = NULL,
  vignette = FALSE,
  vignette_color = "black",
  vignette_radius = 1.3,
  title_position = "northwest",
  audio = NULL,
  progbar = interactive(),
  ...
)

Arguments

filename	Filename. If not appended with '.mp4', it will be appended automatically. If the file extension is 'gif', the gifski package will be used to generate the animation.
type	Default 'orbit', which orbits the 3D object at the user-set camera settings 'phi', 'zoom', and 'fov'. Other options are 'oscillate' (sine wave around 'theta' value, covering 90 degrees), or 'custom' (which uses the values from the 'theta', 'phi', 'zoom', and 'fov' vectors passed in by the user).
frames	Default '360'. Number of frames to render.
fps	Default '30'. Frames per second. Recommmend either 30 or 60 for web.
phi	Defaults to current view. Azimuth values, in degrees.
theta	Default to current view. Theta values, in degrees.
zoom	Defaults to the current view. Zoom value, between '0' and '1'.
fov	Defaults to the current view. Field of view values, in degrees.
width	Default 'NULL', uses the window size by default. Width of the movie. Note that the frames will still be captured at the resolution (and aspect ratio) of the rgl window.
height	Default 'NULL', uses the window size by default. Height of the movie. Note that the frames will still be captured at the resolution (and aspect ratio) of the rgl window.
title_text	Default 'NULL'. Text. Adds a title to the movie, using magick::image_annotate.
title_offset	Default 'c(20,20)'. Distance from the top-left (default, 'gravity' direction in image_annotate) corner to offset the title.
title_color	Default 'black'. Font color.
title_size	Default '30'. Font size in pixels.
title_font	Default 'sans'. String with font family such as "sans", "mono", "serif", "Times", "Helvetica", "Trebuchet", "Georgia", "Palatino" or "Comic Sans".
title_bar_color	Default 'NULL'. If a color, this will create a colored bar under the title.
title_bar_alpha	Default '0.5'. Transparency of the title bar.
image_overlay	Default 'NULL'. Either a string indicating the location of a png image to overlay over the whole movie (transparency included), or a 4-layer RGBA array. This image will be resized to the dimension of the movie if it does not match exactly.
vignette	Default 'FALSE'. If 'TRUE' or numeric, a camera vignetting effect will be added to the image. '1' is the darkest vignetting, while '0' is no vignetting. If vignette is a length-2 vector, the second entry will control the blurriness of the vignette effect.
vignette_color	Default '"black"'. Color of the vignette.
vignette_radius	Default '1.3'. Radius of the vignette, as a porportion of the image dimensions.
title_position	Default 'northwest'. Position of the title.
audio	Default 'NULL'. Optional file with audio to add to the video.
progbar	Default 'TRUE' if interactive, 'FALSE' otherwise. If 'FALSE', turns off progress bar. Will display a progress bar when adding an overlay or title.
...	Additional parameters to pass to magick::image_annotate.

Examples

if(interactive()) {
filename_movie = tempfile()

#By default, the function produces a 12 second orbit at 30 frames per second, at 30 degrees azimuth.

montereybay %>%
 sphere_shade(texture="imhof1") %>%
 plot_3d(montereybay, zscale=50, water = TRUE, watercolor="imhof1", 
         waterlinecolor="white", waterlinealpha=0.5)
#Un-comment the following to run:
#render_movie(filename = filename_movie)
    
filename_movie = tempfile()

#You can change to an oscillating orbit. The magnification is increased and azimuth angle set to 30.
#A title has also been added using the title_text argument.

#Un-comment the following to run:
#render_movie(filename = filename_movie, type = "oscillate", 
#             frames = 60,  phi = 30, zoom = 0.8, theta = -90,
#             title_text = "Monterey Bay: Oscillating")
             
filename_movie = tempfile()

#Finally, you can pass your own set of values to the 
#camera parameters as a vector with type = "custom".

phivechalf = 30 + 60 * 1/(1 + exp(seq(-7, 20, length.out = 180)/2))
phivecfull = c(phivechalf, rev(phivechalf))
thetavec = -90 + 45 * sin(seq(0,359,length.out = 360) * pi/180)
zoomvec = 0.45 + 0.2 * 1/(1 + exp(seq(-5, 20, length.out = 180)))
zoomvecfull = c(zoomvec, rev(zoomvec))

#Un-comment the following to run
#render_movie(filename = filename_movie, type = "custom", 
#             frames = 360,  phi = phivecfull, zoom = zoomvecfull, theta = thetavec)
