Hi,

I have a question about digital twin 3D simulation. There is a demo 3D simulation about robotic arms, where the robot arms are moving. is there a way to do any custom simulation, I mean with own 3D objects and moving these objects as we define it. In yes, how to do that?

Thank You so much!

Best Regards,
Ádám

    Hello @Hedrich Ádám ,

    there is a quickstart showing moving robotarms.

    This is an example of how to use the 3D Scenes studio with Azure Digital Twins.

    The animations are part of the image, just a repetitive movement, an animation without trigger.

    The 3D Scenes studio accepts both GLB and GLTF formats.

    The images are shown as-is in a 3D environment and can only adjust in a few ways:

    • Pins can be set on image meshes which represent a twin
    • (A combination of) meshes can get a different color depending on a state change of a twin (property)
    • A legend (with widgets) can be shown near the mesh or a combination of meshes representing a twin when selected

    This only works if the image is built up in multiple selectable meshes (image parts/components). See also this blog post.

    If you want a more elaborate 3D representation, you need to check out other tools like Unity, with a programmable API, listening to event hub / signalR messages, sent when the ADT twins are changed or telemetry flows through.
