Once again, I want to thank all of you for your responses. As I said earlier, this is not my first model and I have been using SU for several years. Just doing things far different from what I am working on now.

@Box was right on. I finally did it correctly and it worked exactly the way I wanted it to. My dimensions are slightly off (VERY minor) but I got it to do exactly what I wanted.
.

I have some other challenges but hope I can share what I am doing in a couple of days. You will all wonder what the heck was so difficult.

@fredo6 said in Scene animation with Animator:

I found the issue. The error should happen if you open a model and go immediately to generate the video. If you open other dialogs of my plugins., it should work fine

It should go better with LibFredo6 v15.8d, just released

Thank you so much.

I was about to give up but after updating to the LibFredo6 v15.8d I was able to generate the video.
In fact, I was also able to create a 2nd version of the model with everything done in clips. Again

So, here are some videos I was able to create with the 2 versions of the file (one without clips and the other with clips).

Without clips:
3 Scene Animator.mp4

With Clips
3 Scene Animation With Clips.mp4

I hope this shows that you can have multiple animated scenes in a SU model and use Animator to "show them off".

@ntxdave OK, A lot of things to improve but here is my next mode. I plan on expanding this to include a glass object inside of the cage.

@Mike-Amos nice updates/progress.

Making some progress

OK, I think I finally figured some things out so here are my latest videos. I hope you enjoy them and they can be used to see how Animator can be used to generate animated multi scene presentations

I am also posting this in the Scene animation with Animator thread.

@ntxdave OK, certainly not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but here is some progress.

Still need some more practice but I am moving in the right direction (I think).

@iamlegend123456 Nice!

for the obvious question. What render software?

We are not SketchUp or Trimble so maybe vent on their platforms

OK, I think I have finally generated a multi scene animated presentation with Animator. Here are 2 videos that I hope help you see this.

Just to let everyone know, I also posted the same videos in the Animator Plugin thread

@tuna1957 Thank you. I thank you for the reference to the FredoScale tool and its ability to twist. It helped me begin to visualize some things like you have been doing. I just need to practice/experiment more.

@Mike-Amos like the last one better.

I have a web page that is used to show SU model. It has 3 iframe oh the page. One of the iframe is a list of models. A second iframe will show the model a the third iframe swill show the model information. What I want to do is when the user clicks on the model name (in iframe 1) show the selected model in iframe 2 and a full description about the model in iframe 3.

I have looked at several web sites and have not found a solution yet.

@ntxdave OK - I have it working now..........How do I mark it Solved?

@Rich-O-Brien
Thanks Rich. Yes I will need to get involved with three.js in order to display glb files but right now, my first objective is to understand how to send two different files to two different iframes from a single button/link in the first iframe.

Yes I am following you link to the three.js documentation/tutorials and yes, i signed up to the three.js forum.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Twinmotion 2025 ecosystem:

I just want SketchUp to remove the yearly charge and let me purchase perpetual as I see fit.

@bryan k said:

They were all great, but I see the difference and it was worth the effort.

Agree 100%

OK guys, this is not a very good one, but I have been doing some fooling around and testing. First, I will share some pictures of something I received from a fried that I then did a 3D model of using SketchUp and then rendered with Rayscaper.

Here are some images of what i received: (OK, images too large)

Here is my render with Rayscaper:

I know this is not very fancy. I would like to have some advice as to how it might be made better.
