How can I animate my 3d surface like this?

Hi guys,

I want to present my data in a cool animated fashion as shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaMgi4XBjo8

Can this be done in MatLab? I'd be happy if the outputs were in form of a GIF or a movie?

Thank you

Hi,

take a look at the function

doc VideoWriter

which includes a simple example.

So VideoWriter seems like a good tool.

But I'm not sure how to rotate my 'view' or 'camera' in such a smooth fashion as portrayed in the video above?

Thanks for your help

See attached demo where I make a movie from animation being done by the surf() function.

To rotate your "camera", how about camorbit():

close all;
surf(peaks)
axis vis3d
for i=1:36
   camorbit(10,0,'data',[0 1 0])
   drawnow
   pause(0.2);
end
