Ambient occlusion does not render section cut correction when export via animation mode.
Section cut does work in Ambient occlusion in a static view.
Animator interacts with Ambient Occlusion Ex via an API. Maybe it caches the state of objects. Let me see if there is a way to force a refresh. I noticed the same behavior with Thea.

Hi,
I have a question regarding explosion effect in animator, is there a way to control direction of elements that explodes, currently they are exploding in all the directions but i cannot control them as in which element should move in which direction.This plug-in is super useful, thanks for making something that can convert your imaginations into something visual.
Regards,

Currently Animator explodes away from the center of gravity of the object. There is unfortunately no way to customize it at the moment.

Greetings,
Can anyone suggest quick rendering plugin(other than V-ray) for basic rendering of the animation. It has nearly 2000 frames.
-
Have you looked at Twilight Render? Animator also supports it.
-
Not yet, I'll go through it.
Thank you -
Greetings,
I have been trying to render my animation using sketchFX. In the progress bar & even in the sketchup it shows that frames are being generated , but when it is done I don't get the full video or all the frames generated, I only get 2-3 frames out of 300 frames in my folder.See attached images
-
Can we add safe frame in animator?
Or is there any way I can get an idea of how much area will be covered if I export in 1:1 aspect ratio while setting up the camera. -
How do I save the video I create?

Bonjour Fredo,
J'adore ton plugin et je souhaiterai l'utiliser pour visualiser et rejouer la trajectoire de drones ou robots dans une pièce.
Je m'explique, les robots sont équipés de capteurs qui me communiquent toutes les secondes leur position X,Y,Z + ID. Pourrait-on imaginer lire ce fichier et écrire en automatique le script de toutes les séquences d'une seconde (ou X secondes) de chacune des translation des différents drones ?
En clair, peut-on créer un code pour générer un script en automatique et l'ajouter au modèle pour qu'il puisse être accessible à l'ouverture d'Animator, visualiser les mouvements et réaliser les films des séquences de ces mouvements ...Merci d'avance de ton éclairage sur la faisabilité de cette idée
Bien à toi
Stéphane

J'ai prévu de faire des animations par script, mais ca prendra un peu de temps avant que je me remettes aux évolutions d'Animator
Pour l'instant, on peut faire l'inverse et visualiser les trajectoires sous forme de courbes de points choisis sur des objets animés.

What happens if you click on the first button of the toolbar.
If nothing happens, the redo the same, but with the Ruby console opened, so that you can see if there are error messages.

Animator does not start when pressing the clip Icon.
Using skethup 2020.

I like the videos; they help a lot. I am not sure if this is the place to ask this question. I installed animator. I used it a couple days. Know when I click on the clip editor. It will not open. I am not sure what to do.
