            It is my understanding that only the Pro version can be used with Animator. We will have to wait and see when they post the link today.

                  I think this is just for Pro version.

                      I have been rebuilding my Pendulum animation (preparing for Twilight Render) and I have not seen a problem. I thought I did once but went back and redid my sequence and all worked well for me.

                        Yes same than Chris!
                        Rotation must be from a point outside the object, but result gives from a point inside the object! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                          OK - I understand. My rotations were from inside the object.

                            When you pick the pivot, the reference component containing the pivot is highlighted in orange. If you wish a pivot at top of model, then right click and select the option.

                                In the current version, there is a bug when you capture the Rotation movement, but the transformation is actually created correctly.

                                    The camera tracking is not working for me - in particular object selection and playback. I am running on a MAC. Video attached.

                                      This is my first render with Animator using Twilight Render 2.5.

                                      I used the lowest quality settings because of the render time. This one took about 1.5 hours. When I looked at a higher quality setting, the render time was MUCH longer.

                                      At least it is a start.

                                          There seems to be a bug when playing it.
                                          Could you please open the Ruby console and see what it is.

                                          EDIT: don't bother. I think I fixed it in v1.0y

                                          Thanks

                                            @ntxdave: Did you try the twilight render settings 4) Animation 01. Low+ObjectAnimation or 02. Medium+...? The usually give much smoother and faster animation results. I can't test it because I have only twilight hobby.
