      Does annyone know of any animation programs which work with SU (free, preferably)? The easier (and cheaper) the better, obviously, but I havent found any so far 😞

        What kind of animations do you want to build? Are we talking about character animations?

          I'm interested in this too. For animating organic and non-organic shapes in a simple way. If it could export the animation to any of the renders sketchup use like kerkythea with be great.

            Hi Yaakov,

            You can try the "Proper Animation" Plugin.

                Mainly, I want to make a walkthrough, but preferably more sophisticated.
                Antics3d were exactly what I was looking for, or so I thought, until I realized that I would have to redo all the floors, stairs (which are only one height, no spirals...) doors etc.
                I dont know if such a thing exist, the only way t find out is a place like here.
                The problem with Proper Animation is (I havent used it, by I'd imagine) that you have to manually place everything in all the positions. However, to make e.g. a person walking, (another thing I'm looking for, a program specialised in people modeling, and works with SU), it would be almost impossible.

                  Anim8tor. It's a free modeller and animator. Doesn't seem to work on Vista though.
