      Hi All,

      Just putting the wraps on my first Sketch-up project and ran into a hitch at the ten yard line. πŸ˜„ I have a really nice looking custom graphic pen style that works beautifully with my hand drawn site plan, and it everything looks great in my Sketchup viewports. However, when I go to render my animation out, not only does my nice pen style change, becoming a mess of dark pen lines, but also my high resolution site plan sketch which I have inserted as an image also becomes very pixelated. I tried downloading the "Smooth Animation" plugin which let me export my animation as a series of stills, yet even the exported .png files look nothing like what I have in my viewport. Any ideas? I have even tried exporting uncompressed to the same resolution of my monitor with no luck. As always, any help would be much appreciated.

      On a side note, even though I have had a frustrating evening trying to get the animation sorted out, I can't stop grinning like an idiot looking at my saved still images. πŸ˜„

        Dont know why its not exporting properly, but as a workaround you could use screen capture to record your viewport as you play the animation through in sketchup. Something like this would do it: http://camstudio.org/
