Hello Community!!
Sorry for the question up there, i've been already figure out how to solve for the problem.
the answer is i should render on fredo animator create clip. not from thea render sketchup studio.
so my render now is establish and wait until finish render. my render for animation i use is presto (AO), with the setting from Pixero https://thearender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21391&hilit=pixero&start=10.
thanks for watching, and sorry for my english. if my render finished i'll try to post on it.

Thanks, Fredo! Really excited for the object deformation update! 😄

@xufeng,

Can you check you run the latest version of Animator and LibFredo6. I tested on SU2015 (as it seems to be your version) and found no problem.

I spend some time looking at those .animator file to see if we can implement them into animated browser embeds.

Also I was hoping those files could some be imported into larger scenes to animation to objects.

The .animator file is purely technical, in case something happen to the model.

I was thinking also to have an animation specification file, that would be easier to build and in clear language to specify an animation by the sequences and time line (like "Object1 3.0 4.2 Rotate 90 (1, 0, 0)" for a rotation of 90 degrees around the X axi, starting at 3s and for a duration of 4.2s, applied to Object1.

Not sure however if this would be useful and what we could do with it. Somehow, there is a concept of parametric composed animation, which could probably be make more generic with this approach.

Fredo

When you render from Animator plugin the visibility will be used, because it re-exports each animation frame. There is no option of fading the visibility in/out though.

If you render same animation from Thea animation tab, then the visibility will not work. This happens, because Thea4SU does everything to convert the animation to Thea's native animation which doesn't support visibility yet.

No I speak about "accelerate" an object above an open path... 😄

On the beautiful new plane animation by Charlie - seems plane has a constant speed![/img]

Easingis precisely there to change the speed of any movement, based on profile (Polynom, Bezier, etc...).
You set the Easing for the element in the timeline, not in the Movement Editor.

Fredo speaks...

The Z axis seems to be correct.

I think you may be referring to the center. Screw uses the component center to position the axis of rotation.

On the picture, it seems your component is symetrical along the Z axis. So if the translation direction is the Z axis, then it should screw normally.

Anyway, the best would be to post your model, so that I can have a closer look.

Hi Fredo
Move along path is what I had hoped for.
Just insert "node" along same for action and camera views.
Would tracing a path create an editable path too.?? 👍 👍
Thanks

something like "here is my first Poltergeist done with Animator..."

Hi
Please find attached , a short tutorial to show how to do an assembly / disassembly animation with ANIMATOR.

On the basis of a mounted assembly consisting of groups,
1 - Moves the objects in the disassembly order
2 - make à raz ( timeline to 0)
3 - Save the ANIMATOR sequence
4 - Choose "Play the clip From End to Start"
5 - Start the animation and ... miracle, the job is done!

Recall:
A click suspends an animation - a double click restart.

Thank you Fredo

Bonjour

Veuillez trouver ci-joint un petit tuto pour montrer comment réaliser une animation MONTAGE/DEMONTAGE avec ANIMATOR.

Sur la base d'un ensemble monté constitué de groupes , on :
1 - déplace les objets dans l'ordre du démontage
2 - On met à 0.
3 - on enregistre la séquence ANIMATOR
4 - on choisi l'option "Play the clip From End to Start"
( jouer le clip depuis la fin jusqu’à son début )
5 - On lance l'animation et ... miracle , le job est fait !

[highlight=#ffff40:2g2lmq7k]Cliquer sur les images pour animer[/highlight:2g2lmq7k]

Rappel:
un clic suspend une animation - un double clic , la relance.

Merci Fredo

Chri

Re paths
Looks like behavior states are selected not a per-defined path. 👎 👎

Bonjour

Voici une petite mise a jour de ma notice ANIMATOR "pour les francophones"

ANIMATOR de Fredo6 01nov2016.rar

ANIMATOR de Fredo6 01nov2016.pdf

Here is a render of a car wash building done with Animator beta v1.1b and Twilight Render Pro version2.6.2.

http://youtu.be/celI7sVT9gE

I used the new tool to smooth out orbiting of the model using the new circular camera path (curved) in the latest version of Animator. I also used the latest version of Twilight Render Pro.

Yes, there are several things that are wrong with the model but this was a test of make sure I could get closer to where I want to go. I am will be working on a cleaner and better version of the model but wanted to let people see how you can use these two tools together. Just in cause you are interested, this particular render took 15:00:07.

Yes. Instances inheriting animation would be awesome.

Can it be toggled on/off?

@fredo6 said:

New version 1.0x is coming....

Thanks - will be good practice. Also looking at upgrading my Twilight license so I can look at that as well.

Keep up the GREAT work Fredo. Do I need to be looking at a budget for the public version as well?

Animator does not work across models, because the objects and positioning references are not the same.

Instead, the normal way to work would be that, within the same model, you create individual films. Then it is easy to assemble them into one bigger animation.

That's why it's better to wait for the function to be implemented in Animator!
Fredo

YES (in french) 💚

Congratulations PILOU, great job (I like the name of your file) ☀
Dave will surely be very happy.

Bravo PILOU , beau boulot ( j'aime bien le nom de ton fichier ) ☀
Dave va surement être très content !

Does it possible to have a color's work for the ribbon's object (or the color of object if this one have it) ?

Because the info text is some painful 😉
