Animating Object Movement Along a Path in SketchUp WITH ANIMATOR

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you've been doing with Animator lately in the comments! :)

[@Mclarke252007]

I love your videos man. I am new to SketchUp, so they are super helpful. I am a general contractor and was wondering what the most useful extensions would be for me to use for doing renderings for outdoor kitchens/ patios, and interior stuff like kitchen and bath remodels. So far, I have Profile builder, and the Roof by Tig ( I saw you recommend both). What other extensions do you think would benefit a contractor the most?

HEY! I animating a steam engine train to render it. I can get the wheels to spin. Is there a way to move the Side rods/Coupling rods that connects the driving wheels together?

[@6NBERLS]

I am basically at square one in all of this. I didn't catch everything the video had to teach but, I was able to get a tenuous grip on some of the fundamentals. The narration was pretty effective. I was able to catch a lot more than from a fast video with no soundtrack. I will have to watch the video several more times with stops and rewinds to get everything but, that is normal for me.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Well Animator is a bit advanced if you're brand new, but hopefully the tutorials can walk you through it. Thanks!

[@lookatvan]

I can't understand what the problem is, maybe You can help. Images are not exported, there is nothing in the folder after rendering, except for the file with the ffmpeg log, it says that the images were not found. I reinstalled both the program and the plugins - nothing changed...

[@agatasander2999]

Great video! One question: Can you make the path line invisible? I mean can you make the polyline the car is following, invisible in the animation?

[@kenteichmann8292]

Yes. Go back into Sketch up after you saved the animation and select the line and right click HIDE. Then go back into animator and create the video.

Hey Justin! Why a black car on a black road? Hardly to see!

[@anthonyfinch1057]

Ive been trying to get this to work, but the vehicle doesn't turn on the curve. It goes side ways. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

[@anmolsingh7588]

Can we do this in enscape

[@medinaatabaeva1896]

Hi! Did you find an answer to this?

[@lanahammoudeh780]

I can't see the 3 options on camera like the camera on object etc ... how can I fix this problem?

[@nicolasgiamberardino9330]

Is it possible to use this plugin to make a video moving diferent objets using enscape as engine of render?? I need help to finish a work that the client ask me to move diferent parts🤯

[@hargoharipamudya5629]

Hello sir glad to meet you. would you help me to answer. is it can be render after we setup our animation?

[@13beedle]

When I go to export my video I never end up with a video file. I can get a folder full of the individual images, but so far no videos. I make and review my clips then do the export. Am i skipping a step?

[@facundocabe]

Thanks for this video dude, you help so much

[@capeksayah9329]

this plugin can combine with enscape rendering or no ? Thanks

[@theliger1980]

Thats great Video i have question for the animated object , Can the animated object be exported as collada file and if you open collada file using model convertor X, does the animation still there and can we convert it to *.bgl file ? the reason of the question is by converting animated file to bgl you can place it in PC games specially FSX.

[@Mr.SunnysideUP]

Is it gonna work when you open enscape?

[@3dakademikadircay563]

Is it possible to render an animation with enscape in this way?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

[@Mieniek92]

[@civilengineeringtalks3003]

How can we do this in vray???

[@kishorekaruna]

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Welcome!

[@danmakemoneyonline]

Thanks for the video. Do a video animation for people walking on pathways. Would be amazing.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't know that I'd add walking people with Animator - maybe with something like Lumion or Twinmotion...

[@MovingToonani]

Thank you for your good lecture. Is there any way to remove the pachline when making a video?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

What's a pachline?

[@MovingToonani]

@@Thesketchupessentials I have seen your lecture and solved it. Thank you.^^

[@jeenesh397]

[@sammuyot5690]

Is enscape also gives moving item for animation? Like moving car whili aninmating. Thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Nope - it currently supports trees moving and moving cameras - no moving objects right now

[@vanyasimon]

Hey can we do this easily in Lumion ?! Or other renders ??! I think it is a bit difficult animating in sketchup!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Really easy in Lumion - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWWpZ2uuhq9jl7M

[@draffter4055]

Your street appears to be black asphalt. Surely, a light gray [concrete] would be a better backdrop.

[@marylyncasanova5583]

is this possible to render in enscape with car animation?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Not currently in Enscape

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

Nice Video ;-)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! 😎

[@Bouwtekeningen]

Yes, Animator is a great plugin. We made this with the beta version in 2016 kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4CUgaGcpKmoaMk
