HERE THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE PDF TUTORIAL OF ANIMATOR

I'm getting ready for the English version.

ENGLISH:At last, I'm pleased to introduce the tutorial and video for the ANIMATOR Plugin, designed for use with Sketchup, enabling the creation of impressive animations. It's taken quite a few hours of work, though the tutorial is intended as a basic introduction. The link to the tutorial can be found below, offering a 54-page PDF outlining the core features of ANIMATOR, alongside a few examples of more intricate animations. There's a chance it might contain a few oversights, for which I apologise. Despite being in beta for a while, the plugin remains a highly valuable tool for animating Sketchup projects. The animations boast impressive resolution, with nearly all film parameters under control. I hope this aids you in your animation pursuits and I encourage you to share the guide, assisting fellow users keen on animation. Thank you.

PDF ANIMATOR TUTORIAL
. After discussing it with Fredo6, I'm now publishing it in this post, as it seems the most fitting choice.

Here's the link to the explanatory video and tutorial (in the video's description) in their Spanish version, published in my video youtube channel.

I'm currently working on the English version. This order is necessary due to layout considerations, as English tends to use fewer words. I hope it aids other designers in creating excellent animations with this superb plugin. I trust it will be helpful to you and that you'll share it with fellow users.

ESPAÑOL:Finalmente he terminado el Tutorial de Animator y el video de explicacion y, tras consultarlo con Fredo6, procedo a publicarlo en este post, porque me parece el mas adecuado.

Estoy preparando la version en ingles. Debe hacerse en este orden debido a temas de maquetación, puesto que en ingles se usan menos palabras. Espero que ayude a otros diseñadores a hacer buenas animaciones con este magnifico plugin. Espero que os sea util y que lo difundais a otros usuarios

Fredo Animator plus HitFilm could be very good.

Thanks Fredo for your acclaration. Now I am using Sketchup 2014.

Fortunately alive!. Thanks again for your care.

You hare good coders but better persons.

Compared with your Animator plugin the used in my video is really poor(frame Animation). The animation that I did is only plenty of tricks, artisan job and posproduction in some videos.

Postproduction i a really important key in most films.

I advice HitFilm. A very unknown and ppwerful software for PostPro.

This is a sample of my animation job with a very poor elaborated animation plugin.

With your plugin I hope to get better results

MORE EXPERIMETS

1- I installa Animator on Sketchup 2014 on the same PC

2- Works perfectly. meke the animation and the final video without problems.

Posible problem: we know that Sketchup 2013 and 2014 have quite differnt folder structure, firsly in the plugin placement.

Could be related with this?

thanks again.

PROBLEM GENERATING VIDEO with ffmpg.exe INSKETCHUP 2013 (Works Animator for this versión?)

1- Animator Beta Works OK
2- Install ffmpeg.exe in LibFredo6 (disapear the red text to Find the ffmpeg.exe)
3- Make a simple animation that Works fine in preview
4- Try to generate a video with defaut parameters. Push the button "Test Image" and also work
5- Push the button "Generate Video" and NOTHING HAPPENDS. Sketchup continues inside the animator plugin. I can exit and star again the plugin,but nothing happends.

I instal the two versión of ffmpeg.exe, the last and the 3.2 (more stable).

Thanks in advance
