Animations with indigo?

oh, yes, that may be. will better try this at home
[Edit] weird. tryed it at home - differen os (vista), firewall and antivir switched off - and still only got some igs-files, no .bat- or .exe-file.
strangely, it allways stops 4 or 5 frames before the last one (as if it aborted the process). don't know what I am doing wrong.
tried with different transition times, different framerates, differend numbers of scenes, different resolution... nothing works -

BTW Moo Tools 3d browser has a very simple AVI compiler as well as animated GIFs and a fairly stable poly crucher to boot!!! Worth checking out IMHO!!! And funny thing I'm not sure if it just my install as even though the 30 day trial ran out and now running in demo mode it still all works the same!!!

thanks Richard, will definitely have a look at Moo Tools.
I gave up with inigo animation in the end, because I did everything as described by kwistenbiebel and never got the executable file in the end, no matter which settings I used...

I have an idea! (no laughing now.) Vista might be set to hide system files/the file type you actually want to get at. If you go control panel->appearance and personalisation->folder options->show hidden files and folders and then scroll through the big list to make sure youve got all the neccesary stuff showing.
The other thing to check is that vista is showing you the file, sometimes ive found vista doesnt show an icon on your desktop after a program has written the file to the desktop. If you check your desktop through the user->desktop file you can usually find it (if its there.)

Hmmm? I don't think vista hides exe similar to hinding thumbs etc. Though yes sometimes items logged to desktop can be out of scene!

I tihnk indigo writes a .bat file for animations, at least it does for me.
-
I don't believe it! IT WORKS!!!
I was playing arround with saving the animation export in differen locations on my system (on desktop, my personal files, directly in C:/) - without success
normally I try to keep everything tidy, therefore I name files with their project name and date (or simply "test" in this case).
at one point I was too lazy to rename it - and it worked!
I repeated it several times. the animation export only works for me, if I leave the initial name "Untitled" untouched.but now, at last, I can use Indigo for animations

Hey I'll celebrate with you mate!

Way to go Jakob
.
Can't wait to see some results. -
Guys, guys, guys!!
You've got to check this out!!!
Now put your imagination to the future possiblities of exporting a SU animation and producing rendered images at keyframes and these then being interpreted onto the SU animation.... Exciting days!!!!!

what a great tool! and your idea of using some high-def renders to interpolate a simple SketchUp animation is quite clever. it would be awesome, if that worked!

Well lets hope that someone takes the open source code and runs with a usable GUI!!!
Mate I think it could if being able to do as I suggested the most amazing tool for us all.
Where's whaat when we need him????

Indigo is free, but AFAIK the code is not open source.
