      Thanks fredo

      Though with the release of Thea version 2 it may be all change

      I think it was listed somewhere that twilight render pro was compactable as well - what’s your opinion on the results from that renderer?

      I thought AmbientOcclusion was a straight so so renderer - what’s specialised about it.

      Once again it’s a great plugin

        I am not comparing rendering software, which I don't really know in detail, but just their stability with Animator. Twilight works as well, but may sometimes hang. AmbientOcclusion is very stable, but it seems to me that it does not have all the bells and whistles that others have (but maybe that's because I am not an expert in rendering).

        I'll try to check with Thea 2.x when I have time.

              Hello, I've downloaded the trial version of SketchFX & it looks great plus from it's own interface I can export a video using the classic sketchup scenes..
              The glitch for me is that when I set up an animation using your fabulous Animator, from there I cannot get it to export a video correctly rendered by SkFX... & yet an unrendered video is possible from Animator ?
              BTW I have checked, I have the latest versions of Animator & the ffmpeg.exe
              Is this because I have the demo version of SkFX, or what might be going on here please ?
              Very frustrating as both Animator & SkFX are great, but I really would like for them to work together as I thought that i was possible...

              Thanks in advance,
              PT

                to use SketchFX for animations you will need SketchFX Ex

                Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

                  yes, that's what I downloaded, the demo version of SketchFX EX & it's that the doesn't seem to be compatible with animator... the real bummer is I can't seem to send a message to the people that do that software... some kind of javascript error on their "contact" page 😞

                    apologies for not being clearer, that's what I was getting at; if you use SketchFX, if you want some kind of animation with their rendering, you'll need to use their ecosystem of tools for rendering animations

                    having said that, they do not have a tool comparable to Animator

                    take a look a their forums, maybe try getting some answers there?

                        Enscape does not yet have an option for object animation, once they do Animator is top of the list for integration. This has been on the list for at least 3 years and so far Enscape have dragged their feet, so don't hold your breath.

                        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                          Can I save each frame as a scene in Sketchup ?
                          How to take each frame seperately to actually create scenes from them ?

                            This is not possible with the current version of Animator.
                            Anyway, it would create potentially hundreds of scenes.
