Is it possible to add the free version of Twilight Render to the list of rendering software? this would be incredible
The more I use it, the more I think this software is the best in sketchup.
Thanks fredo

Since Twilight Render is going away it would also be neat if you could add Rayscaper to the list. -

@fredo6 I think @pixelcruncher is going to contact you. I have suggested it to him and I saw a response in another thread where he said he was going to contact you.

Hi, I am using animator on SU2024, for a landscape project, and I have made several films each of which contains clips of about 8 to 15 seconds.
The issue I am having is, that I am not able to render frames or video clips of all the films in one go overnight.
Every film has to be given separate command to render.
So am I missing something or this function of rendering all films in one go is not there at all? -

Hello Fredo,
Thank you again for the plugin. Regarding the output of images / render: I am currently working on a very heavy project with complex elements. I found a way to work around the restrictions on exporting directly with Vray, although very time consuming: I group all the moving parts, then copy paste each position (through the positioner) into a new file. I end up with a lot of scenes, one for each frame and the non moving parts are on a different layer. I litteraly can see the animation as going through each scene. Obviously, at this point, the animation is ''locked''.
The major advantage with that is that I can use GPU render, can use render elements on V-Ray etc...
My question is: would it be possible to automate that process, create an option to export all the moving parts in different scene. I understand it can create hundreds if not thousands of scenes but it would be so helpful.
I can imagine there would be a technical limit (like, exporting 200 scenes max). Then it would require to create multiple files (one for scenes 001 to 200, then 201 to 400 etc), but in theory, such an option would be fantastic.
Thank you! -

You can now interrupt a video generation to finish it later.
Simarly, if the video generation is interrupted by a crash (or freeze) of Sketchup or the rendering software, you can resume the video generation from the last frames processed. No need to generate all frames again.

Is there any way of getting V-ray cloud rendering to be compatible with the Animator plugin?
-
Not in current version.
But I finished to implement both Batch mode and Cloud mode and will publish soon a new version of Animator. Actually, I just need to have the team from Chaos clarify a few points. -
