      Wow, that sounds complicated. ๐Ÿ˜† I've been searching for some animation and came across with sketchphysics and some powerful plugins for sketchup animations.

      Coz actually I want to do an animation like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4DLjSir2EM or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Szraxc4-HI..

      Do you know what plugins or addons (hopefully free ones) I should have?... Or simply how can I do something like that in SU? ๐Ÿ˜„

        The second one I am sure you can do using scenes and/or proper animation (http://morisdov.googlepages.com) but the first is more like I want to make - actually controlling the movement and speed of entities.

        Bon chance!

          Hey thanks for that! ๐Ÿ˜„ that's great for me now. I will probably use that plugin for my simple animation. ๐Ÿ˜„

          However, I don't know where to get the tutorial. I saw the one at youtube but I think that's the only one they have. Does the video really have no sound? I don't quite get the instructions. I can't wait to learn. It looks simple! I dont mind reading how-to-do's, but i cant find any.

          Anyway, from the example in the video (the motorcycle being dismantled) it seems like it can animate objects like the 1st video I shared, no? (as in I can move the objects..) โ“

            Have a look at this from Google's Scott Lininger:

            [flash=648,480:bv38o60b]http://www.youtube.com/v/FALvwBN5-hc[/flash:bv38o60b]

            especially from around minute 15, where the character is manipulated from the webdialog, i.e the object is being moved rather than the camera moving from scene to scene. This seemed a more natural and useful way to help use animation to analyse processes ... and that is why I am developing that idea as support for day to day work.

            Chris

            PS morisdov is a forum member - I'm sure he will be happy to help you with his proper animation
            PSS I can give you the ruby code for doing the manipulation if your javascript is reasonably proficient to call it

                Thanks man! Tried it. Yay! ๐Ÿ˜†

                Anyway, am I right that you can only set position a single object in each scene?

                  Thanks Chris for the video! Didnt know SU can do such things. ๐Ÿ˜† Way to go SU! ๐Ÿ˜„

                  PS I will explore Proper Animation for now. I'm not really familiar with ruby yet. Thanks anyway!

                    SU doesn't but it does give the opportunity via ruby API and webdialog. I feel a bit guilty about making this sound complicated, so I made a five minute dead basic example. Extract both files to plugins folder and give it a whirl (for about 5 seconds).
