Great works, some are Masterpiece's and should be great movies.

Wow! Great work kwistenbiebel. You say you used sketchup and various rendering packages. Would you be able to share with us what rendering packages you used?

Bravo Chris!!

How many hours of your life did it take to do that?, and the best part of all you'll do it all again.

teofas

very nice work, and yes tell us what engines and whats the one you use the most..i use vray for skp, but in animations, the irradiance map on each frame seems to be diferent, so i quit trying, can you guide me here...congrats for such a great work!!!

GdBTM

it is fantastic!

are you italian?

Thank you all for the nice comments

I really enjoyed making these animations. Some of them were rather fast to set up once the model was ok.

The render engines used were Vray for SU,Fry Render and Indigo.
Two little scenes were taken to Cinema4D to render (those bouncing pills).
For exteriors, Fry and Indigo are pretty good, but once you start to do interior animations, Vray was the only one that worked well for me.

When I stitched those animations together, I did notice though that we really need more smooth transitions between scenes to get fluent animations.
So I ask it again in this thread: Could one of the ruby masters please make a smooth transition plugin that makes a default scene tab animation?

Another thing I am missing is a way to get animated textures working (animated people billboards,moving sky, etc...)but that is more of a feature of a render engine than it is a SU feature, is it?

Thanks again

Cheers,
Kwistenbiebel

Very nice compilation! Do you get paid for that sort of thing, or is animation just for fun?

pibuz

Impressive works, my friend!
I still have to trespass the "video" threshold
But whenever I will, you'll be the first I'll bother

Great work!

kwistenbiebel

Thanks
@Teezer,
Some of the animations I made were experiments, while others are more work related.
I use animation sometimes in the office for archviz stuff.
The little experiments aren't paid for off course but in the end they do pay of, cause the things I learn are useful for office projects.

@Pibuz,
Yeah...try rendering animation using (Sk)Indigo. It is actually a good engine for it, and Whaat made rendering animation quite easy.
You'll need a good PC though
I hope Whaat will make it possible to get smooth animation into scene tab animations so we can use render engines on it. He already posted a proof of concept on youtube using Indigo, but it never became a plugin though.... Let's hope he'll adapt the current 'smooth transition' plugin in the near future .

I just discovered this thread... You are the master of Light! Lighting looks so natural in all clips.

So vray and indigo can render Morisdov's "proper animation"?

The real problem with SketchUp animations is that SU connects cameras with straight lines instead of splines. Can any smustard script help with this? Perhaps anything in the presentation bundle 2?
