I am so frustrated with Antics. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to learn it, only to find out that I did not have any real content (emotion or scenes). Is Antics V3 even worth Downloading and installing - If I am only gonna come up short on content and animation tutorials? I need something affordable that I can use for Architectural Animation and Google SketchUp!
HOWEVER - Here is a Great Link to DOWNLOAD a FREE copy of Atics V3 (with animation content !!! .

Well... I-Clone is Good... but Expensive, and it has so many Different PLUG-In packs (It will be $1000 or More) .

Sketchers Studio is a NEW neat animation tool. I am looking into using it right now. I have tried using Antics 3D V5 back in 2008, but, then they went out of business, and I have not been able to get content for their library since. I hear I Clone and Poser 8 are also good choices.

Chime in, If you think I am into something here.
I love hearing feedback. I love using SketchUp!

Interesting tool.
I am using this "Shape bender" Tool in order to create Curved 3D Text in SketchUp, that I can wrap around a cylinder, and use for LOGO purposes. Combined with the "Intersect w/ Model" Tool, and Vray and IDX software - this can really do some remarkable stuff.

Glad to help out anybody who gets stuck with this tool or any 3D Modeling Problems!

Great Animation, nice reflections, and gradient on material finishes.
Cool People!!!

Is this from:
Artlantis and SketchUp alone...???
Excellent results...
any idea what time you have invested in this particular project for Modeling Time?
Animation Time?
to produce this type of project? How long have you been working w/ SU & Artlantis?

Joe,

Where did you get the CONTENT for Antics?
I have been using ANTICS V5 fora little while - with little success.
Can you provide any links for Emotion or Animation sequences ?
This would be great help to us other SketchUp Users!!!

Nice Videos my friend.
Inspiring to see great work!!!

I have downloaded the Program.
I am using ANTICS V5, but it doesnt have any content library.
The characters lack the basic animation and emotion content library.
I have experimented with the BVh hacker, but it is cumbersome, and hit or miss and poorly labled.
A very frustrating process, when time is money/?

Any suggestions?
I would like to see some progress with ANTICS & my SketchUp models?
Thanks,
Andrew
