@lngfrdrchrbe The message is telling you that your currently installed version of LibFredo6 [14.2a] is too old to run those listed extensions, which need at lease 14.3 The current Libfredo6 version available from our PluginStore is 14.5f You simply need to install the latest versions of those extensions, LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation toolset [for any licensing], then restart SketchUp to sync everything... The SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ dialog can do this for you quite simply...

Hi Rich; thanks for your hint. But it does not run like your suggest. The triangles cannot be moved. At least on my surface. They light up red yes; but cannot be moved. I suspect I have somewhere else unintentionally changed a parameter in the main settings. Because I have already created several animations with clips that do not have such a timeline bar because the length of the clip is selected via the "duration" function. ![on this picture you can see within the main timeline the clip called "erste palette"](/uploads/imported_attachments/oGPS_1.PNG "on this picture you can see within the main timeline the clip called "erste palette"") ![here you can see the opened clip "erste palette" there is not this white line with the triangles](/uploads/imported_attachments/HenH_2.PNG "here you can see the opened clip "erste palette" there is not this white line with the triangles")

Is there a double quote (after 1:4) in the name of the folder where Animator. Also, if you post a trace, please use the txt file (_EventLog_video_generation.txt). This is easier to read than a screen capture.

@pawelludwa said: 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.

Hi there! When dealing with kinematics, it's very useful to be able to graphically manage speeds instead of positions (slope of positions law) I see that a lot of non-linear laws are availables during a movement, but as far I understand, it's only useful between 2 keyframes. When dealing with more keyframes within a same general movement, I didn't manage to have some smooth transitions... Here is a simple case: Let's say we want to animate a car, constant speed (100km/h) between KF#1 and KF#2. Then it decelerates between KF#2 and KF#3 so that it reaches another constant speed (50km/h) from KF#3 up to KF#4. I didn't manage smooth transitions without generating some weird stuff... Is there some kind of tricks using available non-linear laws? Thanks!

@rich o brien said: I spend some time looking at those .animator file to see if we can implement them into animated browser embeds. Also I was hoping those files could some be imported into larger scenes to animation to objects. The .animator file is purely technical, in case something happen to the model. I was thinking also to have an animation specification file, that would be easier to build and in clear language to specify an animation by the sequences and time line (like "Object1 3.0 4.2 Rotate 90 (1, 0, 0)" for a rotation of 90 degrees around the X axi, starting at 3s and for a duration of 4.2s, applied to Object1. Not sure however if this would be useful and what we could do with it. Somehow, there is a concept of parametric composed animation, which could probably be make more generic with this approach.

New Release: Animator - v4.3d - 17 Mar 25 Requirement: LibFredo6 v15.2a Animator 4.3d is a maintenance release for: Bug fixing for VRay rendering See plugin home page of Animator for Download of RBZ from the PluginStore. See Main Post of the Animator thread for more information.

As a matter of fact, our eyes (mind) works differently from photos or computers. i.e light attenuation is based on inverse square ratio, but when one adjusts them in this way will find it more like what a camera captures and not what our eyes captures. So I've experienced that it will give a better result if adjust the attenuation as "inverse". the result will be more smooth and less contrast ,a better solution for interiors. and do not neglect some fake lighting using rectangular lights, here and there ... .

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58560, first of all I must thank for kind feedback and confess that due to the fact thaat my book covers V-Ray V2x version it would be great if I had the chance to prepare a book on V3x version of V-Ray as it is more user friendly... As the change rates are so fast that it seems I must wait for V4x...

In order to activate your licence your SketchUp needs to be able to access our licensing server. Please ensure that you are connected to the internet when you are activating your licence and no firewalls are blocking the internet communication.

Found this one: cubicVR. A free plugin by Sketchup Podium. Description and download here: https://www.suplugins.com/podium/help/cubicVR.php It generates the equirectangular output in one clic. The drawing lines are pretty sketchy, but it's sufficient for my current needs of fast prototyping. Though, I would be glad if someone knows of a cleaner alternative.

Glad to fear you have it working. Hope my info about the difference in the way to use the tools was helpful as well.

You've bigger problems to sort first. Like the username....

我使用的SketchUp版本是2021.1.332;vray版本是5.2.3
