      Hi Damian,

      Did you try posting this on ShaderLight's forum? It might get answered quicker there. They've a great support team there that give quick responses.

      I've no experience with this software so I'm afraid I can't help. I've used Keyframe Animation with another render application and it worked fine. So I imagine ShaderLight works also.

        I'm not sure it works with that plugin mate, I tried it with 'proper animation' and I cannot seem to get it to work, I can get the two scenes to tween in SU but not in Shaderlight animation sequence, I have a thread awaiting a response on their forum and will report back if I get an answer.

            Playing with it today, actually a lot of fun, and stable (I had crash issues with version 1)

            I love the replace me feature, works great.

              According to the site it animates with Keyframe Animation and SU Animate. Did you give it a go Pete?

                I have not tried those as I do not own them, I do have 'proper animation' but that does not seem to work.

                  Any animation plugin that actually creates the tween fames as a single scene will work with Shaderlight.
                  You just have to set Shaderlight to render 1fps.

                  KeyFrame definitely works (after you click Create Tweens) and I know SUAnimate used to work, I'm not sure if the Beta does yet though.

                  Proper Animation won't work (unless theres something I don't know)as it does something fancy behind the scenes which doesn't export to Shaderlight.

                  [edit]
                  I just had another play and it looks like after you convert the animation to tweens Keyframe turns off "Enable scene transitions" and turns the transition to 0, This means Shaderlights exporter doesn't receive any information about scene transitions and so doesn't work.
                  To make it work simply turn "Enable Scene Transitions" back on and change transition time to 1 second

                        Hi,

                        i have been using shader light pro for some time now and think its a brilliant renderer, however i can't seem to get keyframe to work along side it, i want to use artificial lighting and if i can animate spotlights etc.

                        when i make tweens shader light doesn't recognise this and nothing moves?

                        can anyone give me a step by step please??

                        Many thanks In advance

                        Dave
