      At least i cannot help you with your question before as it would be just a shot in the dark as long as i don't know your render engine.

      --

      For your actual question- sure, there are programs and solutions for almost everything out there.
      I'm not much using animation rendering in SU.
      There are some free and some commercial plugins which aid you creating animations in SU and therefor render them after.
      Just search the plugins index, you'll find a lot.

      You can even use the native SU pages to get a nice animation if you set some scenes and turn the scene delay down to 0.

      I don't know if it's possible to set a camera target in SU.
      You can set a camera to follow a path and there is also a way to make a turntable animation, which could fit your need as well.

      For creating an animated gif just search google, there are many.
      If you have photoshop, use this.

      You can think about creating a thread of how to create your animation, but please make sure you clearly point out what shall be the goal
      and use the search function before- as this probably has been treated here in the forums before. πŸ˜‰
      And try to use a clear discription title (eg. "Turntable Animation" or whatever).

            Open the Model info window (Window menu) and the first tab is animation settings. Crank up the scene transitions settings to something higher to make it slower and set scene delay to 0 second so that it won't stop when it gets to the scene.

                What would you like to render it in?

                (As an aside; there's some awful Z-fighting in the parking lot. There must be coplanar faces there - they will be as awful in a render as it looks now so you should do something with it).

                  i see ! im going to fix that tnx ...

                  for the rendering, i would like just regular render like this for example
                  http://i41.tinypic.com/2yugbyr.jpg

                  is it possible ?i need some program maybe ?
                  the animation function is great easy and smooth !

                    Well, yes, you need some additional program to start playing with photorealistic rendering. There are lots of them - some work inside SU and easier to handle others are standalone studios - some are free then others cost something affordable and there are some expensive ones, too.

                    Which "category" would you be interested in? πŸ˜„

                            πŸ˜• oh right - don't know why I missed that. Yeah , maxwell is not geared for animation for sure. I'd recommend twilight, but it's not free. It'll do a good job with what you are looking for though.

                                      I don't know of anyone using Maxwell for animation. It's just not geared for that.

                                        I don't know about Maxwell but it seems to be a bit tricky.

                                        Searched Sketchucation and found: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=44406

                                        Maybe that helps. Good luck.
