Ohhh silly me!
I've just found a plugin
proper animation.
I'll read the info about it and the topic, but it looks like it is just what I need.
(fingers crossed)

Hi
I don't write too much here but I read the topics all the time. I am shy and also I read english a lot better than I write it...

I have a model and I need to animate the pieces inside it.
I've read about sketchyphysics, but I am not sure if I can do what I need with it.
Simple movements of the functions of a system, a conveyor belt carrying bottles, and stuff like that.

I Know I can fake simple animations by hidding and showing layers, but when the models are complex and have many polygons it is just not an option.

Is it possible with sketchup? Or should I start learning another program?

oops, I didn't read that part
thanks

Hi

I was thinking to participate in the model this thread, but the challenge is too much for me.
Congratz to the valiants. In the last challenge I was amazed and even trided to follow the steps but couldn't get nothing worth showing.

I have a question for Solo, and is... well... not related to the topic, so please FORGIVE ME!
I always wonder how do you do those gifs showing the moves you make in SU (just like those last where you showed how to edit your proxy).
Please, tell me what are you using for this, please, please, please!

Maybe I'll join the next "model this"
It all depends on how organic it is, I supose
