Component Animation

Has anyone heard of a program called "Antics 3D?" I forgot how, but somehow I stumbled across it and it looks pretty nifty. I haven't tried it out yet, but it uses SketchUp models to create some pretty cool looking animation.

It even has a free version available like SketchUp does. For more info, here is the link to the website http://www.antics3d.com and for an example of how it works, check out this YouTube video:

Antics was announced to the SCF a while ago, I believe someone from their company even registered here... Oh, and I think it was in the last SketchUpdate from Google.

I'm with Antics, I think there are actually a couple of us on here.

We're releasing V4 of Antics in the next few days, with improved SU import. The importer was added to our last release and was very well received. There seems to be a real crossover between Antics users and SU users. So we've tweaked the importer a little in V4 to make it even easier to use, based on feedback so far (some from this forum!).

If anyone wants any help with animating their SU models in Antics then please feel free to give me a shout. Or there's an entire area on the Antics forum just for SU tips and tricks.
