      Thanks Fredo for your precise answer, i appreciate this.
      The Chaos Group is a company and sketchup/Animator users are potential customers of their products. If i send a email to them, nothing will happen. But if the comunity start
      a, lets say " Online-Petition " and lots of people protect/sign this and send it to Bulgaria, maybe they hear us and think about it to implement a reverse method or even more.
      Dont know how to set up such a "online-petition".
      But maybe some of the persons who are reading my post could help.
      I think its worth a try.....
      Thanks for now Fredo
      Have a nice day

          Can you try the Test Image button, to see if the file is generated

            https://pictr.com/images/2018/08/09/suNuO.jpg

            When I use material override evrything is OK, and render in HD is done.

            Btw. I change in VRay asset editor higher resolution then 1920x1080

              I made test on slower PC borh have Vray 3.6.03 first SKP 2018 secound SKP2017. On slower animator/vray only build light chach and want't render. On faster I made a few more tests and even I made slower resolution test render stop in 3/4. Maybe it is timeout? Have you any idea how to fix it?
              I don't know why it render scene correctly with material override? Maybe some kind of material crush vraya. But in normal work evrything is OK.
              Thank you in advanced.

                Highest resolution which finished correctly is 1270x714px. If 1280x720 is setting up vray leave one squere with no rendered pixels... if resolution grow numbers of not rendered pixel is higher...
                Btw. If I setup in Animator 1270x714px the resolution in vray asset editor also change. But when i made it 1920x1080 resolution in asset editor didn't change... 😄

                  Hello Fredo!
                  Thank you for all your Hard work!
                  I have the same problem with the plugin as dihe have.
                  The computer stops in the middle of rendering at high resolution and does not save the image.
                  in low-resolution the computer finishes rendering and saves
                  Is there a time out for each render?

                      For info, this was due to a time out set for VRay at 2 minutes for rendering.

                      With LibFredo6 v8.5f, I have increased the time to 10 minutes.

                        Hi Fredo,
                        could you add rendering exact frame fe. 165,166,175...

                        I have problem because now I need to render fram in "secounds" time, and somtimes when I render something simultaneously with animation render I have time out and freame wan't save.

                        Thank you in advanced

                          I have a problem with rendering with vray.
                          When I render an animation, it never lets it finish the rendering. After prepass 1of1 is finished, and actual rendering should start, animator just ends the rendering of that frame and continues on another frame. And happens for every frame, until it is stuck on one frame, and after that frame is finished rendering, another frame can't start render.

                          How to solve this?
                          Thanks

                            Hello Fredo,

                            thank you for this great extension.
                            Is it possible to set the time out higher than 10 minutes?
                            I would like to render in higher resolution, but every time
                            a frame needs more than 10 minutes this frame is not saved.

                            Thank you.

                              Hi Fredo6,

                              Love your work firstly. Your extensions are really useful.

                              Can I echo the same as a couple of people on here? I'm using SU2018 and Vray 3.6(something)

                              1. Im trying to render an animation where the frames take longer than 10 mins. Is there a way to change the timeout manually, or, is there a reason why were limited to 10 mins?

                              2. Being able to stop a big render and start again at the exact frame that it left off would be amazing, is there a way to do this?

                              Keep up the good work and thank you again.

                                Bonjour

                                Je viens de découvrir ce qu'il était possible de faire. Je trouve cela fantastique, un grand merci à tous ceux qui ont pris le temps de faire une chose pareille!

                                Une petite question cependant: est il possible de réaliser l'animation d'animator à un moment précis d'une animation de scènes Sketchup? Par exemple Lors d'une visite virtuelle d'une maison, nous traversons un couloir (scènes SU ) avant d'arriver devant une porte qui s'ouvre (animation Animator) et continuons la visite (scène SU). En passant le tout dans Vray....

                                Un grand merci à tous ceux qui pourront me répondre!

                                Cordialement

                                  This is a feature that is planned. Actually, I introduced the concept of 'Visitor' in earlier versions, but this needs a lot more work to make it usable. SO it is deactivated for the time being.

                                      I have a problem and that is when I tell Animator to do the animation through VRAY it does not work. It stays stuck in the render when it finishes and does not advance. If I put it other than Vray if it works. It is not interact

                                        Hello Fredo,

                                        For some reasons, Vray only renders the first frame of the animation many times, while I see animator running properly.
                                        I am using Sketchup 2020 and Vray 4.20.01

                                        I have checked everything I could find on forums and youtube. I saw that other users seem to have the same problem.
                                        Any idea why ?

                                        Best regards, and congrats for all the work,
                                        Cyril

                                          I am having the same problem.

                                          I can create videos with animator, which means I have got working "films" in the animator. I can render my scenes in Vray. When I open the generator tab of the animator, I am able to see the Vray option and I can do my settings accordingly. So everything is fine so far. However, when I generate a video I get an 18 seconds video of the very first image. Nothing is moving. Does anyone happen to know why?

                                          Thanks in advance.

                                          Edit: Actually I tried it with another model file, which is very basic, and it worked. But still can't make it on my real file.

                                            Similar issue.
                                            The animator does not transmit frames, all png images are from the first frame only.
