Animated People
-
Hi how's about SU had like different 3D people that are trainable to walk up stairs or along a boardwalk or to sit down or just anything to make a presentation more alive?
-
There are a number of apps that can make use of SU models that offer animation features, one of which would be Antics. However, I do agree that such a feature would be great to have available from within SU.
-
I would like to see such a feature. but only as part of a bigger animation tool that enables you to not only animate people, but also apply a motion path to cars, planes - basically any object you like, even cameras...
we have quite an interesting discussion about such a tool in this thread. but I am afraid it is definitely in the right place here in the "whish list" for it is highly unlikely that such a tool will be possible with SU6

Yes, i totally agree that in the same way one should be able to animate/train vehicles vessels, leaves falling of trees and so on you name it SU animates it.
But still, I think this should be possible without the scenes basically in the main window; since I want to have multiple objects animated, a key frame manager sort of based on the "out liner" window.
But way simpler then 3D max or any other animation software.
Oh and Talking about windows, I do want to have 2 or more Views in separate windows 2 the same time.

Currently, Sketchyphyiscs has the best potential being a major animation plugin.
It has physics (Daaah!), it can animate bone structures (people) etc...The thing it misses though is a way to setup the camera or do recording of real camera movement and convert it to a default scene tab animation.
Add some real camera motion ability to it (walking motion,wiggling camera, multiple viewpoints, etc...) and I think we would have the perfect tool for all kinds of animations.
Both for SU output as for using render software on it. -
The animated people could be the beginning of something bigger like "Sketch Up world"
Me, and I think a lot of people out there are getting bored of the way 3D buildings look like in Google Earth.
I admit it was a great idea to create 3D cities and houses and see them in GE, in 3D.
BUT I think it is time to realize that SU has much more to offer to the Community then only to serve this (again increasingly boring feature) one purpose online.
I would like to see SU evolve into a tool to create fun online 3D worlds and community spaces. Sure there are already a lot of "this" out there but why not use SU and Google Earth in a more progressive/fun way.
I would Call this Sketch Up World. With new ideas like trainable people, trains cars boats that can do things and move in this new created space.
wouldn't be so bad would it?
