Video textures possible in SketchUp
-
Well TBD isn't rising to the bait of the adulation and praise so maybe some reverse psychology will work . . . . its an 'ok' script and maybe I could use it now and then . . thats IF it gets finished and works as advertised! An impressive youtube video is all very well but lets see it in action!
Oh did I mention I really REALLY want this script! Cash waiting . . . . . . !
You could have snow falling outside of the window . . fire burning in the hearth . . animated clouds . . . water rippling . . . elevators going up and downJust thinking . . between this and AdamB's lighting plugin . . its all looking quite exciting! but you really have to wonder what on earth the 'official Skoogle Development Team' are beavering away on? More style builders?

Come on Tavi, stop teasing and get it out there. Who wouldn't want a script that can do this even if there is no Mac version!

Video texture does sound intriguing, especially if it can be applied over a curved object.
But I'm still waiting for the release of your SU Macro Editor - creating your own scripts without knowing Ruby. Such a product would be especially useful if created parametric objects. It would seem appropriate for Google to sponsored this and included it in SU Pro. We do very custom millwork and woodwork. A cabinet section can have curved fronts, hand-carved elements, many custom details. Some construction details are constant, but many things are custom. But I digress...

TBD,
Pure by chance I stumbeld on this thread. AMAZING ruby.
Any update on where we can buy this plugin ?

unfortunately is not available yet due the fact that I am completely busy with Podium 2 nowdays.
I cannot say when it will be released (or if it will be released, maybe SU7 will have video support anyway), but if someone wants to continue the development we can talk about.

Great stuff, I whish I didnt see this.

oh wow, this is amazing! I knew there was a great deal of talent in the community, someone does something that no one else has done before.

Hoping to hear about some progress...

unfortunately there is no progress on it. if I cannot allocate more time on it I will release it for others to play with (source)

Hi,
I have done some similar work but all in pure Ruby as a proof-of-concept. Rather than decoding AVIs etc directly into OGL textures, my ruby just uses flick-book texture strips. I too don't see myself finishing this off anytime soon so I'm happy to throw this in the pot too!

I just "happend" upon this thread today. Yes it IS 2010 after all and it seems sadly that Skoogle Dev Team is still pumping out style templates but not much else. Here is the range of emotions that pretty much describe what i felt after reading this thread...

LightUp has gone the way of animated textures using movie "strips" which works pretty well. I've attached an example SKP file.
And here an old vid using the same animated candle movie strip:

Not video files, but images with all the frames in a series?

Exactly. So its not a solution for watching "Gone with the Wind", but for adding a little dynamism like underwater caustics, fires, flames etc, it works very nicely.

very good ruby reminds me of a software called PHYTA it has same ability (direct video ,sound ,lighting and direct rendering plus shadows) all in one package 3d modelling (a voir)
