      Thanks for the invite guys! I have a nasty deadline due Friday, so hopefully, on Sat, I can jump into the deep end of animating in SU. How nice to even get to type that sentence!

      Cheers, Chuck

        I will make 1.5 with the support for Animator public soon. The version is currently available to Thea beta testers only.

        Tomasz

        I have the latest version of Thea (beta), how does this work?

        I'd like to render an animation.

        Under the parameters for making an animation there's a Thea Render button...

        So when you're timeline is full is saved translations you can batch render them with Thea.

        I didn't try it out though. Nor do I have Thea Beta access.

          Oh, thanks, I see in the new thea there is a Fredo animator option, I was trying it that way and having no success. So where do the image sequences get saved doing it the way you suggested?

                Fredo,

                What level of confidentiality do you require?

                Can we post animations online? obviously crediting the plugin and generating interest and anticipation?

                    Solo,

                    No special confidentiality. Animator is a know plugin on SCF public and most videos are on YouTube, in the public domain. That's more the date for a release which is unknown.

                    The private beta forum is a way to have motivated users (thank you all) and keeps things under control. As you can see, there are many features and functions still missing for Animator to be a decent animation module. At this stage, I need to validate the hierarchical framework and the basic workflow, which for me is the base to go further and add more transformations and animation methods.

                    So you can freely talk and publish about Animator.

                    Fredo

                        Hope someone is going there that can show off this product. Even though it is still in beta and Fredo has much more planned for the future, it deserves for the world to see it.

                        Wish I could attend.

                                    There are several animations in this model. The one corresponding to the video shown is "Film 10 - simple rotation"

                                        Hello Everybody

                                        Do you have some hints to delete unused movements (wrong or obsolete)
                                        from film ?
                                        I saw there was a maintenance Windows to purge some of them, but it seems not
                                        to work and leads you to delete all to "refresh" the work in progress.

                                          Hi Chri

                                          I thought that "Purge" deleted sequences but the Maintenance table seems to be unmodified.
                                          We have still the movements recorded, and you have to "write" a new one to avoid thoses which are wrong or corrupted.
                                          Thanks fo reply , I'll try to post later a small model.

                                            To delete a sequence, just click on the Red cross.

                                            What happens is just that the sequence will NOT be saved. This means that the next time you exit and launch Animator, the sequence would be definitiovely gone.

                                            Before you exit Animator, the sequence still exists in the model but does not appear in the dropdowns. Clip elements using that sequence would appear in Red in the timeline.

                                            As long as you do not exit Animator, you can change your mind.

                                            The PURGE ALL option is more drastic, as it removes ALL Animator information from the model. After explict confirmation, the effect is immediate and you exit Animator.
