Hi,

I'm using Fredo6 Animator in SketchUp Pro 2022 along with V-Ray 5 to render an animation of about 5000 frames.

The problem is that with every rendered frame, the RAM usage increases slightly, and it never goes down. After around 500 frames, the memory usage gets so high that the process slows down significantly or crashes altogether.

I have plenty of RAM, so the issue doesn't seem to be hardware-related. I suspect the memory is not being released properly after each frame is rendered.

Is there any way to force Fredo6 or V-Ray to release memory after each frame? Or maybe a known workaround or setting that helps avoid this memory buildup during long renders?

Any help or guidance would be really appreciated!

Re: [Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.3d - 17 Mar 25

Hello,

I’m currently getting an error message when launching SketchUp that says:

"This version of Animator has expired. Please upgrade to the latest version."

The pop-up links to the Animator page on SketchUcation:
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Animator

However, I already have the latest version of Animator installed. I downloaded it again just to be sure, and reinstalled it, but the message still appears every time I start SketchUp.

I’ve also deleted the plugin folder and reinstalled it manually, but no luck.

Is this a known bug? Is there a way to reset or bypass this expiration check?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
