      Hello everybody

      Single question: How to insert " animations plugins ..." in Sketchup viewer. ?
      It's could be useful when sending animated SKP files.
      (whatever you've use to make them, SKetchyPhysics, proper _animation, single animation )

      Thanks for community

        Whether it can be done or not I don't know but can you activate it in a "scene" whereas when you "play animation", it will automatically show the plug-in animation within said scene??

        If it's not possible to do, can you not do a video capture and incorporate it into a "SU" video export. I've seen them on YouTube. It can't be that hard, can it?

          Hello basic.woodworks,

          Nice to get some feedback.
          You're right concerning Video , but in that case we lost the 3D capability.
          The strenght of SketchUp (and others 3D programs) is located in this feature
          allowing 3D movements for a better understanding. ( Sorry for that kind of frenglish )

          Friendly

            if the point is to showcase your work or do a quick e-mail style presentation, a video will serve you well enough. If you want the other party to be able to "play" with the model after watching the animation, the have them download SU... it is free!?! unless you don't want that third party to see how easy it is to work with the program... hmmm.... I see 😉

            happy hunting

              awww ive used su for animation presentation and it was blurry and because it only traces scenes created it movement and camera view is floating and pixels were poorly noticed.. i think blender can do it better the problem is think we need to rerender it.. im not pretty sure of this i also need feedbacks how to..

                hello,

                When created my first video, I thought as you did and went into panic mode, as I'm not versed at all in video creation but in keeping my calm, I learned the following.

                When exporting your animation, you can choose other formats through the "option" tab, turn off "anti-alias" or "transparent background" (which will give you a black back drop if unchecked)and pixel size of the pictures in the video. In the "option" menu, depending of the format you choose, you may also select the pixel size of the video, frame rate per second as well as compression method and quality of the video through the "expert" option.

                Trial and error is the best way to learn. The one piece of advice I can give you is if you have lines of "stand alone" text, make sure to increase it's size as it may appear much smaller on a higher resolution video.

                Best of luck

                Mike RL

                  THX to deathcloud and basic.woodwork for your replies.

                  In fact, The SketchUp freeversion ist the most designed viewer, but I
                  experienced that a lot of people facing such Images are quite disappointed
                  when using 3D program. They have to learn first how it works. ( Let's remember our
                  first try with Microsoft Office ...) That why a light viewer would given less pain...

                  As far as the Avi is concerned , no possibilities to go deep into the model for
                  technical explanations...

                  Well; I can survive 😛
