TheaRender v1.5 (from Animator and in Batch from Thea)
SketchFX Ex v1.0.6
Twilight Render %(#FF0000)[Pro v3.5]

It's Twilight Render Pro v2.5! (and I suppose also Hobby Version ? )

What is the process for use it with Twilight Render ?

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.

Idem! Seems there is blend of rotation / Object / General!

I think this is just for Pro version.

Is there a bug there?

[ntxdave]

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!

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.

OK
Thanks Fredo

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

Better indeed!

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.

New Release: Animator - v1.0y - 11 Jul 16

This is a maintenance release fixing bugs in

• Tracking cameras
• edition of rotation with orbiting

See main post for RBZ files

[fredo6]

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

Fredo

@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.

I am trying another one now. I am trying the Animation 00 Preview Object Animation. That is going to take around 7hrs. We will see how that goes. When I looked at Easy 01 Low+ it I got the feedback that it would be a LONG time.

On the Twilight Render Forum, I go feedback that they are working on some presets that are the settings they used to produce the forklift sample they posted.

I am trying to remain optimistic that they/we will find a solution that produces some satisfactory results (both quality & time).

I just upgraded my license from Hobby to Pro specifically for this reason so I want to help (if I am capable ) to find a solution that melds Animator and Twilight Render successfully.
