[Plugin] Camera Recorder v1.7.2 UPDATED May 23, 2013

Oh yeah, I also meant to ask:
What is regex?

Something which turns my brain into liquid goo.

This is the result :
Error Loading File clf_camera_recorder.rb
private methodgsub 'called for nil: NilClassprivate methodgsub!' called for nil: NilClassError Loading File clf_camera_recorder_loader.rb
private method `gsub! ' called for nil: NilClassI am very sad because I did that I had that tool
Note: In this strange problem I succeeded for the first time and then I got this problem.

Can you have anyway for this plugin to export as a movie file too?
If you can thanks! but I know its gonna be hard. -
@Rod - ok, I think I know a surefire way to fix your problem. I'll try to get a script out tonight or tomorrow. But I am going to disable the script's ability to remember a location to save the image files, since that is what seems to be causing the problems.
@KXI - I agree that would be cool. If I implement it will probably cost something.
Anyone out there know a free ruby library that compiles sequence images into a video? Would I be able to do it with the command line mplayer? Or doies imagemagik support anything beyond animated .gifs?

I am waiting for what will be the solution
And thank yourod

OK Rod, try this one now. overwrite the clf_camera_recorder.rb file that is inside the clf_camera_recoreder folder.
Also, it should pop up a little message while loading. I would like to know what it says on your system. Thanks!
Chris
-
ok, but Chris can you at least tell me a free program that acts like Quick time pro (the feature that this plugin uses)?
-
Yes, a few pages ( http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23517&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=60#p208742 ) back Charly mentioned a free program. I meant to ad it to the first post, and never did. It is called Imagen:
Try that one!

Chris
We have succeeded, my friend
Thank you for all the efforts
You are truly wonderful
Thank you againrod

Great, now I need to clean up the scripts for you again so they stop popping up windows everytime you open SketchUp with messages to relay back to me.
Also, what does the pop up window say in it?
And check back here hopefully today for an update on the scripts for you
Chris
-
OK, well I cleaned it up very quickly and here are the 2 new scripts. There should both work on your system. And you should get no more pop up windows. Thanks for being patient with me as I de-bugged this for you. I am going to go back and remove all other test files I uploaded now too since I don't need other people to download them. But I will leave these up in case someone in the future has a system with your same needs.

Chris, have you tried LightUp? Could you implement a flyaround mode with inertia like in LightUp?
It would be so great to fly around smoothly and record scenes and then use that for both SU lines and LightUp.
Pleeeeaaase?
I need to look into this. I do not have LightUp. If his flythrough is just a flythrough tool, then you should be able to activate the camera recorder, then use his flythrough and then stop recording when done. Maybe?
Chris
-
I've tried that way but it would be much easier to do it in Su's ordinary view and then use that as a animation in LightUp to get a perfect match between SU lines and LightUps render.
-
I would like to ask a very interesting question.
For renderer's like Twilight that can be used in SU simple scene animation, can your plugin tool adapt too?
This would benefit me before I decide to get a renderer.Thanks,

I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you asking if outside renderer's can use the flightpath created by this plugin?
If so, I think the answer is yes, since my flightpath can be exported as a series of scenes - 1 scene per frame of camera path. So as long as a renderer can be set to render one frame per SU scene, then it should be able to take advantage of the camera recorder path.
I asked if anyone would be interested in testing this back a while ago when I released the most recent version, so far no one has tested it to see if it works though....

No you got it wrong, Twilight is inside sketchup renderer. I won't mind being the first one to step my foot out to do so.

well, then it should most definitely work. for if it runs inside SketchUp, Twilight surely can use SketchUp scenes...
-
can you render the videos created here with vray for sketchup???
