New TwilightRender can render Sketchyphysics animations.

Hi all. If some of you don't know yet there is a new rendering engine called TwilightRender. It's very cheap, works inside sketchup, very easy to learn and the most important thing: IT CAN RENDER SKETCHYPHYSICS ANIMATION with great results. Heres my little example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3Lp-fAg0oM . There is one thing that you may be dissapointed with: it doesn't allow to touch any controller in SP while rendering, but if you frame program your motors and servos it will do fine.

Astonished result!

Thats wicked Cool to see some animations from someone who actually knows how to use SP (my own weedy attempts: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=21493 )

How long did it take to render?

Awesome results

Thanks for the comments. The animation has about 400 frames, resolution was 500x256 and it took about 4-5 hrs on the lowest setting. my system is core2duo 2ghz, 3gb ram

@ owen1204:
To help you, we need more information about your workflow. What settings did you use in Twilight to run the rendering of the SketchyPhysics animation?
