            Is there any chance you could come up with a 32bit Animator version? I have SU 2015 32 bit and I cannot upgrade my system to 64 bit O/S (Win 10). The h/w IS 64bit, my Win 10 was mistakenly upgraded to 32bit.
            Even if a few features are disabled, it would be better than nothing.

              In the new version, i see some inverse kinematic buttons. Fredo could you add some inverse kinematic tutorials. For example a robotic arm?

                Unfortunately, I now release Animator for SU2016 and above, because of the support of hi-res screens and also because Animator should become a paid plugin when it has the required amount of features.

                  The new interface is much nicer ! and the ability to continue on same object with "save next button".
                  Not sure if I have to redo the ffmpeg with the new release, as the video output functions do not show up anymore?

                    Strange. The file ffmpeg.exe must simply be located in the Sketchup Plugin directory. So, it's independent from the releases of Animator.

                      Sorry for any confusion, I can see the video creation through animator itself, but previously (under recommendation) I was doing it through Thea Render. It is when checking fredo animator in Thea then clicking create animation that the video option no longer exists...maybe that's how it was before?

                          Copy that. I have that option showing up in the Thea panel. See attached gif. It's at the generate video that the only option is an image sequence. I thought previously this would generate a video, or was it always only an image sequence? I can easily stich an image sequence together but was curious if there was a video option...or did I just imagine it?

                            Your are right. It seems that Thea only generates a sequence of images.
                            I must say that I never used the generation from Thea and thus did not notice.

                              Well...it's going to be a paid plugin actually (with an evaluation version). Just need to have the right amount of features and also a sufficient quality to justify the cost.

                              Fredo

                              PS: by the way, better post a .MOV or a .gif. It's usually diffciult to do anything with SWF files.

                                  I only used the swf as the interface looks like that's what it prefers.

                                    New Release: Animator - v2.1a - 20 May 18

                                    Requirement: LibFredo6 v8.4a

                                    Major release

                                    Added Movement Apparition, allowing to make object progressively appear or disappear, based on section planes.

                                    Note: hose models by Eneroth3

                                    If you install LibFredo6 v8.4c, you have the option to use section planes for partial apparition, between 2 boundaries

                                        Small bug coming from LibFredo6.

                                        Fixed in LibFredo6 v8.4f, just published.

                                            New Release: Animator - v2.2b - 14 July 18

                                            Requirement: LibFredo6 v8.5b

                                            Minor release

                                            Full screen option: All Sketchup toolbars, native and extensions are automatically hidden when starting Animator. They are restored in their original position when exiting Animator, either temporarily or fully.
                                            This option can be activated in the Default Parameters dialog box.

                                            The idea is indeed to give you more space on the screen when designing animations.

                                            Animator - Full Screen option.png

                                            Here is a short video illustrating the Full Screen option.
