Construction Animator
-
Hey Guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out in finding a way to animate the construction of a structure. I've seen Proper Animation, however, from what I've read it seems limited to scenes and the number of components. What I'm looking to do is animate, say a bridge, being put together from components. Not just appearing with layers, but the pieces flying in from "off screen" and forming the bridge like a model. Anyone know of a good animation plugin or program to do this in?
Thanks for your help,
Enzay.

Have you seen the plugin Keyframe Animation? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=294619#p294619

I was looking for the same thing. I ended up doing a couple like this. They are far from perfect but with my crappy computer and crappier computer skills I think they get the point across. The first one was done with just scenes and sections.

This one was done using the plugin Proper Animation

Either Proper Animation or Keyframe Animation can do this for you. Easy. There's no limit like you say. Only limit is if user doesn't learn to use the tool.
See animation made above with Proper Animation, or see this video with Keyframe.
