hi,

Your output image dims ratio is 1.333, if the window isn't a same ratio it causes problems on mac's...

or you could try running Martin's camera Stats, might show you what's happening.http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=27835

I have tried a 16/9 format (ratio: 1.66 ) but I don't notice any different result

 if @save_image
        keys = {
         ;filename => @fileName,
         ;width => 1000,
         ;height => 602,

I have downloaded and used [Plugin] Camera Stats by MartinRinehart : it confirms my fields of view

Cheers,
simon

PS: I just have sent a PM to macgile . wait and see.

It should work.
Incompatibility is usually 'backwards' to earlier versions, that don't have all of the newer version's tools.
Why not just install it and try it out.
The worst that can happen is it doesn't work !
Check that you have indeed installed it as directed [a common pitfall] !!
If so then uninstall the few files you have installed.

Hi,
This plugin for me is very useful but I work on Mac and it didn't work because de keys codes and pathname are different between Pc and Mac.
I have done changes in camera_key_maker.rb and the plugin works on Mac now.
I use Apple Extended Keyboard.

Just installed this plugin through sketchucation tools, works fine though when I press enter nothing happens, must be missing something here....?

emerald15

macgile -Something else caught my eye... in the '8.0th SketchUp' parody animation you have a clever treatment for the beam of the spotlights. I'm assuming this piece is still native sketchup...? so I'm guessing you used tubes of semi-transparent white material & hid all the edges? Or is there more to it - please share, I'd love to know.

I know I'm coming in late in the game, but I have read this post from it's beginning until the May 16th post above. Yet, I cannot learn more about this plugin for SU 2013 or why it's not in the current extension warehouse. Has there been any further development on this plugin and has it yet been able to be confirmed to be used by exterior render engines such as Shaderlight and Vray?

tomaszdrgas

Is it possible to set different Field of View, Shadows, Fog, group viseabilety etc. along the keypath? Like I can do it in standard sKetchup views and than sKetchup automaticly smoothly changes to next sceen?

sarkarshomit

Will this work with Sketchup 2015 or 2016 version? i remember it worked with earler versions....
I just loved this plugin but nowadays dont seem to get it to work using Su15 or Su16...please any help.

faust07

Have today, after a long period of non-use, the plugin installed in SketchUp Make 2016.
It is important not to forget to copy the script "bezier.rb" into the plugin folder. The plugin then works for my purpose to get paths of camera and target.

dungnh

I have an trouble with this plugin. Any advise ?

My system : Windows 10 / SketchUp Pro 2017
I was install both of Camera Key Maker and Bezier Line but this plugin doesn't working with me.
I already saw Camera Key Maker in Tab " Camera " but when i click on that nothing was happen.
Anybody have the solutions for my situation ? Thanks all and I am sorry if my English not good enough to explain in detail.

BLAlley

Shame this was abandoned. This is exactly what I need but it doesn't work with SU 2016
