[Plugin] SJ XML To Enscape Path Video

simjoubert

Hello,

I want to share with you my SJ XML To Enscape Path Video plugin.

SJ XML To Enscape Path Video is a plugin for Sketchup.

It allows you to create an XML file, which will then be imported into Enscape to configure the video trajectory. The plugin allows you to create the keyframes either from the scenes of the model, or from the edges of a curve and a target component.

New features and use of version V 0.2.0

In both cases, you can:

Define the delay between two viewpoints, with 3 parameters (beginning, middle and end of animation). It is thus possible to simulate an acceleration or a deceleration.
- Set animation start, middle and end time, time of each view is calculated, which can simulate time passing or animation going back in time.
- 3 camera options (shaky, smooth transition and field of view angle).

For the trajectory obtained from a curve only, forward or reverse simulation. For the trajectory obtained from a curve and a target component, additional options (Traveling and panorama).

The XML files are saved in a subfolder bearing the name of the model in the model folder.

The parameters of the last export are saved for each type (curve or scenes) in an attribute dictionary of the model.

The plugin is translated into English and French according to Sketchup's language settings.

Access to the plug-in:

Menu > Extensions > Simjoubert Tools > XML To Enscape Path Video
by SJ XML To Enscape Path Video Toolbar

The plugin is free, the code is not encrypted and commented in French to help French Ruby beginners.
