Possible issue with v1.8g - tried to change layer visibility and animator just crashed on saving. Couldn't get out of animator back to sketchup.

Is this excellent plugin still supported? - I'm using SU2018 Pro and having the sames issues as below after it initially working brilliantly.

Hi

I am trying to use this tool to place 2D faceme components (plants) onto the ground. I keep getting a message stating

"1000 trials to drop components done. Continue?"

Whatever I press now, I get into an unbreakable loop where the either (if I press yes) the time to complete keeps going up exponentially and another message pops up or (if I press no) I get the spinning colour wheel. Either way I have to force exit sketchup.

I haven't used the tool for a while, but don't remember this problem before.

I have SU2016 on OS X.

thanks

Is Vray 3.6 installed in SU2018?

I will investigate on my side

Fredo

Hi Fredo,

Did you check on this? I have just done a completely fresh install of everything onto a new PC, so SU 2018 Pro, Animator 1.8b, LibFredo6 8.0b and V-Ray 3.6 and it still doesn't appear as an option to Render.

Kind regards

Mike

Just upgraded VRay to 3.6 but it no longer appears in the 'Render with' options in animator - is this version of Vray supported by animator in SU 2018?

Hey Fredo, you are genius I love animator
I tried rendering a clip in Twilight V2 pro, only 2 second duration (51 frames) - 30 hours in it had rendered 14 clips, so I decided to purchase V-Ray and upgraded LibFredo6 to 7.9 and animator to 1.8 as it says Vray is supported. Tried to render the same animation and it only took 1.5 hours - an amazing improvement!! I saw every frame rendering, However, the resulting movie, both MP4 and MOV were both only 1 frame long - Have I missed something? Can you advise me please?

Keep up the brilliant work!!!

Is it possible to add rendering to an animated clip created in Animator by Fredo6?

Hi have recently started using Fredo6 Animator (which I love) and I also have LightUp for SketchUp - does anyone know if the two can be used in combination?
