@jql said: As I broke my sequences (spacebar and line issue on other thread) and I couldn't retrieve it, I was experimenting on what I could do. I ended up exploding the animated object wich made the timeline flow again though no object was moving. Of course the sequences now weren't attached to any object... so I remembered to edit my sequences and try to find a way of assigning them to other objects. Is there a way to do this? Did you go back to the edit panel for the sequence then click on the select icon to select new objects? While I have messed this up a few times, I have also found that in fact, I could do it (at least I think I remember doing that).

I think that little orange guy lives in my laptop. Thanks for sharing Fredo.

Already?!

Nice!

Sorry fluid, maybe I wasn't clear on that, but I don't own a copy of it though I think it's very cool! I will definetelly consider it when I need something of the sorts though...

Yes, I have Auto-Save checked (I began to translate the plugin to Spanish language). [image: 0OxX_Autosave.jpg] @unknownuser said: When you start Animator, does it pop up a dialog box about a backup file? No, it appears a message "There is not clip defined, do you want to create one?"

Yep! [image: L0GZ_GIF_yep.gif] PS Where can I have N° version of Animator inside SU Screen ?

Maybe a custom method to read SVG files and draw them in openGL could be doable.

Thanks Fredo....... Would it be possible to have a sequence that allowed you to show/hide a layer? In my example, the only thing that is different between the 2 scenes is that the "spray" layer shows in one scene but not the other. Could be an interesting tool to be able to toggle layers like in the SU scene. But, I can certainly work with it the way it is.

When you render from Animator plugin the visibility will be used, because it re-exports each animation frame. There is no option of fading the visibility in/out though. If you render same animation from Thea animation tab, then the visibility will not work. This happens, because Thea4SU does everything to convert the animation to Thea's native animation which doesn't support visibility yet.

Does it possible to have a color's work for the ribbon's object (or the color of object if this one have it) ? Because the info text is some painful [image: bQK7_color_ribbon.jpg] Edit: Found the color attribution! [image: yHZ2_color_ribbon2.jpg] or also! [image: 4199_color_attribution.jpg]

OK - it is not perfect but I finally have it working. [image: djYd_Pendulumv4.gif]

I love your creativity Alvis. It is always a pleasure to see your work. So talented. Thank you for all that you contribute to this site

Bonjour Fredo, Merci pour ce super plugin. J'ai un problème lorsque je veux faire un rendu Vray sur le cloud avec Animator. Animator crée un fichier d'export .vrscene que j'uploade sur Chaos Cloud. Mais à chaque fois l'export fait disparaitre le relief des textures (le bump). Dans mon rendu il y a un plan d'eau avec un bump, et sur le rendu le relief de l'eau disparait, il n'y a plus qu'un miroir plat qui reflete le ciel. Merci beaucoup

First, I don't see a sun? Use the standard vray environment instead of an hdri to begin with. In your sketchup window make sure the sun/shadows are positioned like you want it to render. Also make your glass more transparent to let more light in (or even remove if you don't need reflections). This will brighten things up. If you succeeded please post the results. Regards,

Close the framebuffer/renderwindow should work. Regards,

Ok, thanks. I will make sure to save the model if I run into it again. Thanks again for a great plugin!

Isnt the point of a render farm, to be able to handle the high res / high quality stuff? Your settings dont seem too crazy to me. Pretty normal for a final render. What kind of farm is it? You're rendering out a 14,000 pixel wide image so the expectation should be that this will take a good amount of time.

Do you know if there are any plans for vray to make the rendering engine run on the GPU?
