Running SU animation
-
I've produced an animation sequence which a client would like to run direct from SU on his own laptop, projected to a large screen. NB. we are running the animation directly from SU, not saved to AVI format. However, on his system the resolution is not good compared to mine. We have surmised that this is as a consequence of our relative graphics cards. I have ensured that his OpenGL preference setting is set to 'use hardware acceleration'.
My question is... are there any other SU settings that might make a difference to my clients system performance?
-
client can use SketchUpViewer. If you make animation through scenes.
-
Fiona, you've found the only settings related to image quality for SketchUp. It sounds like you've figured out what the problem is, though. i don't suppose your client can upgrade their computer's graphics card?
-
Thank you both. I hadn't thought of Sketchup viewer. Good idea, however, it doesn't improve my client's graphic resolution. & yes Dave, I'm 95% sure its a card problem... need to persuade client to upgrade.. In the mean time I might just have time to run it to avi format.
-
Good luck. Is there any chance there's another, better computer available which could have SketchUp installed on it?
I don't know what Yorick was thinking. The viewer wouldn't provide anything different from regular old SketchUp.

re; a better computer - I was counting on that being the case, but no. We've agreed to run the presentation from my computer for now. Its not been a wasted exercise though as it's illustrated why I invested in the right hardware, etc. The process of sending the SU file to the client has been working well so far & it hadn't occurred to me there might be a problem in presenting via laptop to a larger screen. All part of the learning curve, eh! Anyway, client is happy to present from my PC & we will explore other options later.
-
Excellent! And you learned something and the client is happy. Win/win.

I mean that viewer can play animation like SU. But more simplest for client. It can use without licence.

If you had read the original post, though, you would have found out that the client already has SketchUp installed on their computer. No need for the viewer.

Sorry. I see.
