I am looking to create an animation, including a flyover of a proposed commuter rail project.
It would include a fly over or fly through, showing the general route and close ups at the proposed stations.
Anyone have any ideas about how I can recreate scenes like this in sketchup?
I though about using google earth for the fly through.
For the closeups, I thought that I could use sketchup to create the stations, but use the sktchyphyics extension to animate the train, and use a static shot video as a background.
I am not sure how to animate people.
I am looking for a low cost solution, that i can learn with no programing or advanced animation / photo skills
