I did Rich, no luck with it to be honest, but have being getting great results with sketchup, iv a few shorts put together, working on a trailer, im sure you will be impressed with the animations i have created using sketchup once i release the trailer

lol, always count on you to reply to my posts Rich, yeah i posted the same on the shaderlight forum, taught id post it here too, iv seen 1 clip with shaderlight rendering sketchphysics but its not a great example heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6uZHyEsPjY
to be honest i cant see how sketchphysics is used in this clip

Have being impressed with shaderlight so far and baught the full version, so worth it, but my question is can sketchphysics animations be rendered in shaderlight, and if so is there any tutorials on how to do so, i know sketchphysics animations can be rendered in twilight render and heres an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ebg7mylkiQ&feature=player_embedded can this be done in shaderlight???

Hi all, im in need here, i purchased my version of su animate 3.0 from "Cadsoft Solutions" I want to upgrade my version to v4 but there are no options to do so on the Cadsoft Solutions price, now i have looked into contacting cadsoft solutions but they have no contact option on there page, does anyone else have this problem??? or does anyone know if i can upgrade from "ohyeahcad" without having to pay the full price??

Heres a test clip i put together to demo cartoon animation in sketchup

lol im too stubern to give up, but thank you, i did look into blender and other simuliar programs out there but the taught of learning these programs take too much time, im more used to sketchup and i strongly believe it can be done in sketchup, most of my tests so far have worked really well, im out to prove it, ha ha

heres a demo of my character which i rigged last nite, just a simple test..

I rigged my character in sketchup last nite and taught id test it out with some eyframe animation
here it is http://youtu.be/dAwq_yhL9HI

Hi Chris, just wondering have you taught about posting a tutorial video on how to set up a character for this feature, i downloaded the plugin but have no idea where to start with it

lol, no need to answer my last, i did it without any hassel

Just a quick question, can i import my character model from sketchup to Daz 3D,?? cheers for the heads up, downloading Daz now, take it once its free

Ok after a little reserch i found this,

http://digson.blogspot.com/2011/05/mixamo.html

So it is possible to animate your models in Mixamo, unfortunately you cant import your animation back into sketchup but you can mport your rigged animation into other programs for example Unity and so on, now i have failed to get a model working in Mixamo but as seen in the video on link its an fbx file he is using and not a obj file which i have being, if only there was a fbx converter plugin for sketchup models without having to buy the pro edition

Box
Can you please give a tutorial as to how you did this, i have exported my model to OBJ format, i upload the file into Mixamo and it loads successfully but when i get to the rigging stage all im getting is a black screen, any ideas as to where im going wrong?????

Nice one Mike, do you have a link to that forum by any chance.... ???

Hey Tig sorry for the lack of info, i got it working, great plugin, thanks

Ok if you havent heard of Mixamo i suggest you check it out, its a stand alone program on the net, no download needed where you upload your character and Mixamo generates a rigged body and your character becomes animated automaticly within minutes, fantastic right... wrong, it supports many 3D programs but not sketchup, heres the link http://www.mixamo.com/

I taught i would look into this software futher and try and find away, this is how it is, Sketchup exports file in .dae format which are not reconised by Mixamo, Mixamo only reconises these file formats FBX BVH OBJ, Now i do believe sketchup pro can export FBX and OBJ, so i searched the web and found a "dae to fbx converter" freeware from autodesk, and so i converted the file, now i tried loading my file to Mixamo but failed, why??? i dont know, because my FBX converted file was reconised by unity and opened the file just as it was in sketchup before i converted it,

Has anyone of you managed to get an SU model imported into Mixamo with the use of other programs, or can anyone help me out with why Mixamo isnt loading my converted FBX file

I really dont know but when i clocked on the converter plugin nothing happened

Neither of these worked for me, can you give a tutorial

Its funny you mentioned that, i downloaded UDK and Unity game engine, couldnt make tails end of it, lol, do you know if Characters and game maps can be imported into these game engines from sketchup????
