      Looking for some good plugins for camera control (smooth) and animation. If you guys know any please point me to them. I'm using SU15 and Vray 2.
      Thanks

        hate to say, but Blender...
        I'd given up with Sketchup to get smooth animations long ago.
        I've used flightpath plugin in the past with some amount of success, you could try that.

          Thanks Andy, I found "camerakeymaker" sitll have to try it out. I won't be doing any "crazy movements with the camera, mostly camera moves in straight line (left to right, up and down, etc), so I would just need a plugin that controls the camere with smooth motion from point A to point B.
          If any of you have better solution please let me know.

          I just wonder, with SU being on the market for for over 15 years, why isn't there a good plugin for camera control (using with Vray)?

          cheers

            I think it has to do that there is no control over the core functionality of the SU camera transitions. There is a certain curve between frames that is "hard-coded," so you can't adjust the transitions like you can in something like Blender where you can tweak those curves.

            In something like the flightpath plugin - it generates hundreds of scenes so that the "tweens" become small enough to eliminate the SU transition.

              Smustard has some. They are old plugins, but I think they still work.
