Hey everyone!

I am proud to announce that Independence Day Animation is now available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOoGKQO4QEg
Thank you all for your support! It means alot to me.
Enjoy!

Thank you very much! You are so kind! But unfortunately Kickstarter isn't available in my country so far. I'll let it that way by now. Thank you again!

P.S. 10$ for a beer?? Really? In Romania the cheapest beer is less than 1€

Looking good!

Good idea but I don't think I will make it. I may have 3 million views so far but I don't think people will donate for me.
I'll see what I can do.

Hello again!

I'm proud to say that the video is 90% ready. Only one scene left to render which doesn't require animating elements. Only a shot with statue of liberty fallen into the Hudson river and behind it the skyline of NYC destroyed. And about next week the movie will be ready for launching right on YouTube.
Sadly, it will be only a part one for now. I cannot make the battle between army jets and alien ships because as I said before, the trial period of the Keyframe animation has expired and I can't afford to buy a license for it and even with a new trial period I can't make it on time. We're talking about huge scenes where alot of elements requires to be animated. It could take whole weeks.
By now, it will be only the destruction scenes. I'll let you guys to know when the video will be on YouTube.

Cheers and Thank You for your support!

Bellow you can see some screenshot. Got any requests? Go ahead

Hello modelers from all around the world!

I came here today to show you my latest sketchUP project. If you ask me I'll say it's a bit weird but yet an ambitious project.

It is an animation based on Roland Emmerich's INDEPENDENCE DAY movie from 1996. I know, it already starts to sound weird

So far I managed to upload on my YouTube channel the trailer of it which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/yN3IYFCG0Fc

The overall project is like 80% ready. You might wanna ask me about the animation techniques I used in the making of this movie. I used Keyframe Animation from Regular Polygon. It is an awsome, must-have plugin. It's easy to use and the final result is astonishing. But, to my shame, I used the trial version as I couldn't afford to buy it and I had only 10days to finalize the animating sequences. I could do tons of animating sequences but unfortunately I couldn't do more in such a limited time. Anyway I think I've done enough for this time.
Besides the plugin, I used the compositing technique to obtain optimized but yet complex shots. Right now I'm in the middle of editing and when I'm done, I'll post some pictures too.

If you want to know when the movie will be ready, subscrie to my channel to get notified about it.
If this topic is far away from the forum's normal running, please delete it without a trace of doubt.
Thank You!

Wow! This animation plugin rules. Is the best plugin ever released by someone for SketchUP Make. Also, if you don't mind I would like to see by myself how this baby works so... I can be the Rat Lab
I would be grateful if I could test it too. If not, I really understand you. It's sad but still I respect your decision.
