Looking awesome Adam, I am looking out for something that will do interior animations faster and better (lighting) than what is currently available. I have not had much experience with Lightup (I did play with the very first version) I wonder if animation like proper animation or keyframe is supported?

Thanks, Its come a long way since you first tried it!

The short answer is "yes", you can use animation plugins while running TourTool (LightUp realtime rendering).
If you're just looking to have doors / cupboards auto-open then using SU's own Dynamic Components is a simple and support workflow. Here's a quick screencast:
If you're looking for more complex paths, then with some extra rigging it works in LightUp.

Well if that is not an endorsement nothing is, congratulations.
I will probably get another interior animation project soon and will give Lightup a try, looks like it may indeed be the tool I need.
