Some of my works

A movie showing just a sketchup render with the shadows from the sun is really easy,
here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCNGQX6j7D4 that will teach you how to make the animation.

just incase it doesnt tell you this info:
when you've made a scene you can right click on it it and open the page scene manager, which gives you alot of control.

good luck

Animation in Sketchup can be made also with many plugs
Sketchyphysics2
Transformer by D Bur
and the last more exiting 'in french link)Proper animation by Morisdov who mix animation of objects and animation scene

plot-paris

by the way: I am not aware of any render engine that supports SketchUp sections.

section planes are merely a display featyre in SketchUp and have no effect whatsoever on the geometry therefore they are not exported to a render engine. (please correct me if I am wrong - would love to have a renderer that does sections (SketchUp section export I mean)...

thanks for your replies, I think I will use animation for the next one .*

this time I would like to show you a strange news item that happened in the Excalibur's church . I was looking at the building

what a wonderful story, orgelf!

only thing to change: in some images shadows obscure parts of your model. try to lift the whole model up until it's lowest part is at the hight of the origin. thus you can prevent parts of the model being below SketchUp's ground plane (because shadows stop at this level).

The new Sagrada Familia

@plot-paris yes I saw that .I always forget to check the shadow on the ground ... Next time I will be carefull .

thanks

the "batcave"

princedragoncok

Fantastic, nice detail, great imagination. Looking forward to seeing your animation!

orgelf

thanks princedragoncok for my next one , I will try to do a "meca", I am not sure of the name in english . it's a kind of war robot .

and to make an animation with it

but for today I made the fight between spider amazon and spiderman .

the story:

spider amazon arrived on earth with her carousel (yes I know )to destroy her ennemy, spiderman . she made a giant web in the city and captured an innocent victim (me actually, that's my avatar I made with sketchup, but you can see it entirely at my website http://www.jphurel.com/). she asked her cross-bow robots to slow spiderman with their arrows while she , as a sniper , shoot him .

the "buildings" and the "spider amazon" are 2 works I did few weeks ago . I did the carousel and all the "little stuff" for this story .

once upon a time in a forest ...

mmh no
