Wow Miguel, that's neat! ...and thanks for the detailed info about how you did it all

Seriously, what do you do besides play with Sketchup and answer questions on here and Twilight's forum?

cool!

i'm starting to worry about your obsession with that SP chick though

Excellent - it is totally amazing what you can get this program to do!!

Logs, logs everywhere! Nice animation!

Richard

Amazing dude!!!

Well done all round, wouldn't have minded seeing that chick hit and dragged with the car!

No seriously really very cool! What a great test.

Funny i did notice the last long to fall on the left does a funny dance!

What impresses me the most about this. . .which is a lot. . .is that again. . .there is no driver and no damage to the car smashing into telephone poles. As often as I have done that it has never worked for me.

Had to watch it twice, got distracted by the girl.

Smashing work, Miguel!

sepo

Impressive work.

Great work Miguel!

I see a lot of potential for walking people and cars that drive around in scenes.
Hopefully, a lot of SP users upload a lot of pre-rigged ones we can use.
Maybe even a commerical package with high quality ones? Why not.
Recently I called for a simplyfied SP version, solely for setting up things like that easily in arch scenes.

It would lift Sketchups animation capabilities to another level.

@d12dozr: I consider the time I spend in these experiments and solving other people's questions as "training".

@Rocky: This girl is the only animated character I've been able to find, so you'll be seeing her a lot until I learn to rig and animate my own.

@Richard: The dancing log at the end was really odd, but then again I often get similar oddities with SketchyPhysics.

@David_H: Let's hope "SketchyPhysics 5 - Monster Truck Madness" features car damage.

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll drop by the SP forum, as I still know next to nothing about it, except how to make things crash. The girl was animated by phonic, a Japanese guy who is a sheer genius.
