    Hi there! When dealing with kinematics, it's very useful to be able to graphically manage speeds instead of positions (slope of positions law) I see that a lot of non-linear laws are availables during a movement, but as far I understand, it's only useful between 2 keyframes. When dealing with more keyframes within a same general movement, I didn't manage to have some smooth transitions... Here is a simple case: Let's say we want to animate a car, constant speed (100km/h) between KF#1 and KF#2. Then it decelerates between KF#2 and KF#3 so that it reaches another constant speed (50km/h) from KF#3 up to KF#4. I didn't manage smooth transitions without generating some weird stuff... Is there some kind of tricks using available non-linear laws? Thanks!

The main point of that thread was to discuss how Animator can be used in multiple scenes for presentation purpose.

    That's called Camera Clipping. It occurs when parts of a 3D scene that fall outside the camera's visible region, known as the viewing frustum.

    Yes, Rich Animator is great, but still much more complex to use than the animation tools of D5 render or Twinmotion. When I used it, I was able to render my animations with v-ray, but it was long, long

    @quenemary You have no license directory which suggests your SketchUp install is missing read/write permissions. You can fix this by running the SketchUp installer using Run as Administrator and choosing Repair when prompted.

    As we have figured out the issue requires both Animator 4.5+ and Thea 4.0.1397+ update.

    @FairhavenMatt Also remember that working on any program's files that reside away from your computer also risks losing data when saving - which is irretrievable. Always work on a version of the file on your computer, saving it there as you work. When that work is completed save a copy of the file over onto the 'remote' location. Having your version on your computer is no harm and a useful safety net if you get problems with the remote copy getting made. Making a remote copy of a file is far less likely to cause any issues, as the OS is very robust at doing this, whereas any ap saving remotely is more likely to have hiccups... In your case the remote location is not accessible, but if it had been you have the ever present risk of a glitch in the file's data - potentially making it unusable...

    @Just_us I had the same issues and found on the FFmpeg site that FFmpeg does not support apple silicone. See this page https://evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/apple-silicon-arm
