    Hi, fredo. I want to realize how version of thea render can support v2.4b animator. Is the thea render v2.0 ok? Thank you for help me.

    I did not test with this version of Thea 2.0. I only have v1.5 on my laptop.

    So if you have it already, please make a test on a simple animation, opening the Ruby Console to check if there are error messages (normally you should only see traces of the execution).

    For Thea, make sure you use a Presto method, not interactive, with a reasonable sample/px, typically 10 to 20. This keeps the rendering under a reasonable amount of time.

        Can I use this extension with Maxwell Render to create a rendered video? I believe I need to creates multiple scenes to bring into Maxwell.

          I have no API to Maxwell, so it is not supported in Direct mode by Animator.

          And I doubt that Maxwell support the reverse mode (as Thea does), because they would have contacted me.

          So short answer is NO.

                Any advice concerning ffmpeg video download. I followed the link and the FFmpeg.org pdf directions but didn't find the exact steps available and got into a baited ads trap and downloaded similarly labeled ffmpeg files that were unrelated. I successfully created an edit in animator and would love to get it to mp4.

                  For Mac, here is the download page .

                  Then I suggest you pick the latest build of FFmpeg for Mac (dated 3 Jan 2020).

                  https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/macos64/static/ffmpeg-20200102-81172b5-macos64-static.zip

                  Just extract the ffmpegexecutable in the ** bin**subfolder and put it in a known place where you will point to from Animator.

                      Hi there,

                      thank you for this incredible plugin! I've been using it for about half a year now creating animation films and it's truly one of the greatest SU plugins out there.

                      However, since yesterday afternoon I'm experiencing a few bugs.

                      1. Animations aren't previewed in the editor
                      2. I can't select a specific time in my timeline any more. On mouseover it hovers in turquoise, however, nothing happens upon clicking. When I temporarily exit to SU and return to Animator it has then selected the moment I wasn't able to select previously. However, it doesn't show the animations that should have happened up to this point.
                      3. When I proceed to "Generate a Video for the Film" it does not show a pop up window. It just hides all menus and displays a red frame around the editor.

                      All these issues occured from one moment to the other. It was fine yesterday morning but started behaving like this in the afternoon. I tried to reinstall both the animator as well as the lib but it didn't help. I then proceeded to try the plugins in SU17 - same issues here.

                      I'm using Win 10 Pro 64 Bit, SU19.2.222, Lib 9.5g, Animator 2.6a

                      Here are the lines from the Ruby Console upon opening the animator:

                      Error; #<ArgumentError; wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 3)>

                        Thanks for signaling.

                        It should normally be fixed with LibFredo6 9.5h, just published.

                              No for the time being. I would need to liaise with the Enscape developers to see if something can be done.

                                    Hi,

                                    I love the animator and it works great for creating spinning camera angles of my building designs however I've found an issue when rendering animations involving movement and kinetics of doors.

                                    The animation works fine within Sketchup and in Animator. It also shows on the interactive render within Vray.
                                    However when it comes to creating the MP4, it is only rendering the first image of the closed doors on repeat and not creating an animation.

                                    This is the video which I am trying to render using Vray Next (working when just using Sketchup):

                                    This is an example of the videos I have been creating where it has worked fine and rendered in Vray:

                                    Please help as I am loving the software so far and would like the animated door videos to match the showcasing of the model.

                                    Versions I am using:
                                    Sketchup - Sketchup Pro 2020
                                    Vray - Vray Next 4.20.01 Feb 18 2020
                                    Fredo6 Animator - 2.6c - 19 Mar 20

                                      Could you post or PM the model.

                                      Difficult to find out without.

                                      Also, when you run the video generation, could you leave the Ruby Console open. There are traces showing the processing of frames. And there may be errors as well.

                                      Thanks

                                      Fredo

                                        Thanks for replying.

                                        I've attached the model as well for you to look at.

                                        Ruby Console was showing the following, however I was having the same issue where it was rendering the first frame on repeat/no movement :

                                        I stopped the render at this point as this is when there is a gap in the door which is easily visible to see if it is working.

                                        Thanks.

                                          Could you post or PM the model.

                                          Also, when you run the video generation, could you leave the Ruby Console open. There are traces showing the processing of frames. And there may be errors as well.

                                          The problem appears on any primitive model. For example, rectilinear movement of a cube.

                                          The problem with SketchUP 2020 and V-REY 4.20.01
                                          Render only the first frame. The clip consists of the same frames, the duration is not important.

                                          there is a problem on the forum
