Potential of rendered animation?

[iakram]

So I've been thinking recently of exporting a "rendered" animation from google sketchup, and I need to know the potential when it comes to 2 points:

1. Is there a certain plugin/software/rendering engine that can handle rendering animations?

2. What kind of animations does it support? Camera movements or in model animations?? Because I need to create waterflow animation "similar to particles works in 3DsM" and I have no clue whether it could be done or not?

Thanks in advance your replies are much appreciated.

You have Twilight who support the Plugins animation Mover, properanimation and Sketchyphysic

And you have a crazzy one plugin Simfonia(who don't support the "Scene animation") but you can make your own "scenes animations", even "Deformation" animation!!!
see my little animation (sorry in French
