Moris,
Thank you very much for this plugin. I believe it will find many applications!
I haven't tested it yet, but what I have seen in the preview looks VERY promising.I will have to add it to SU2KT animation export . Now each frame will have to be exported!

Will this work on either Windows or Mac?
-
Thanks Moris, shall be good fun.. ehm, on holiday
Right on Tomasz, we are waiting for you now!
-
This is amazing ! Thank you very much for this plugin.
So this actually is object animation for Sketchup right?
I must try it. It appears to be quite easy to use.Now the cheesy question: Will this work with Vray and Indigo to render animations?
I know making an object animation manually by tweaking the hiding options does not hold in both render apps.....Would be awesome if it could. -
Thank you. Thank you.
My question, Morris, is this. Can I save the SKP file and send it to someone so they can see the action? Or is there a way to export the animation?
-
Thank you!!!
It works Great!!! And the plugin supports position and scale transformations!
I only have problems with some rotations.. look at the attach video. The simple box is rotated 90° from the center point but in the animation looks strange.
Now you can set up to 4 positions. Can you add more?? 4 is not sufficient for this so amazing plugin.Thank You!!!

Under Way of Working on June 9th I wrote " ... this could mean more Pro versions, more scripts, a new profession of nameset makers, animations in addition to bar charts ..."; so you can imagine I am very happy to see you have come up with this. But unfortuately I cannot open your googlepage from here for some reason; would you be kind enough to upload the zip file or send it to me by PM?
Thanks
Chris

Thank You! Yet another very impressive plug-in.
-
Thank You!!!
-
This looks like a great plugin!
-
Any chance of either posting a version of the video we can view on OS X? I get a codec error in Quicktime using the WMV plugin. No Xvid for the Mac AFAIK.
-
I am glad you like this, now lets see your creativity results.
-
this plugin is written only in ruby, so it should be good for both mac & windows.
-
when saving your sketchup model the "positions" are saved in it too, so if you email your model to a friend and he downloads this plugin, he should have the same animation functionality.
-
this plugin uses the new SU version 6 "observer" class to hook into the "scenes" change, this "observer" is not called by SketchUp "Export -> Animation" so right now you cant standard export this to an AVI - just see it in sketchup.

for the mean time hide the axes and use some screen capture utility to export videos. -
later i will add more than 4 positions, start experimenting very slowly.
-
Youtube too does not like my wmv9 video - try

Great job on that plugin -
Morris:
Great work. I think everyone's hopes have been elevated.
We need to have a way for all .skps using your scripts to have a link embedded that will enable the anyone opening them to easily downloaded and install the proper script.
I suppose it could something as basic as floating text label with instructions if there was not a way to automate the process.
-
Looks very promissing, but why does the object you animate "shrink" during the animation..??
I.e. a wheel turning on a motorbike will look a bit strange since it constantly change size during the animation... -
Morisdov, Wow, this looks amazing and I think the word 'PROPER'
well descibes what you have achieved. This is indeed very generous
of youMike
-
Yes, Morisdov great plugin but I also wonder why when rotating (p.e. doors) it isn't rotating but a sort of (as Kim stated)'shrinking, turning and expancing' movement.
greetings,
ErikB -
please download latest version 1.01 - should fix "shrink" on rotation.
