SketchUp EXTENSIONS FOR ARCHITECTURE - Real Animations with Animator!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! I'm kind of considering doing a series of different kinds of animations you can create using Animator - if this is something you're interested in, let me know in the comments below! :)

[@MaRuid06]

I would love to learn it.

:)

[@TylerTheBassCreator]

Yes please!!!

[@LawrenceRocca]

Hell yes!!!

[@ereklekereselidze1850]

answer me, please!!! Is it possible to convert an animator file to an FBX file and then add it to Lumion?

[@flavavour]

Nice one man! Is it possible if the exported sequence also rendered with VRay or other software?

[@luxor9339]

Can we create a camera spinning around a point with Fredo6 Animator? If yes can you please tell me how to do briefly.Thanks.

[@mangar3147]

What I'd like to do is make something rotate in sketchup and then use a 3d party renderer like Enscape or Lumion to create my animation there. Dunno if thats possible.

[@zuowa]

Hey. Making rotation animations is very easy in Keyshot.

[@jimhester2004]

Fascinating! Thanks.

[@SS-cd1dl]

Yeah great idea !

[@masterpaldz6189]

Why does my camera focal length changes?

[@karen3768]

Hello Justin. Can we export export an animation created from this sketchup extension to Twinmotion with the direct link ? Is the animation will still work in twinmotion as well as in sketchup ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No - this will not integrate with Enscape, Twinmotion, or Lumion. It does integrate with some static renderers, like Vray, but not with Twinmotion

[@karen3768]

TheSketchUpEssentials ok. Thank you for your response. Really appreciated.

[@martingomez3419]

hi justin, i have two questions, 1. seeing that i can make rotation of turbines, can i make the same of whats posible with msphysics having several spur gears but only one as motor and all the other dependent as hinge with animator??? and 2. can i export an entire animation done with animator to kerkythea for renderization? thanks bro

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No clue - I haven't done much with MSPhysics animations

[@martingomez3419]

I mean if you can do that relation of active motor and several passive hinges acting all together with fredo6 animator

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]

Does it work with rendering softwares like Enscape, Vray? 🤔 My assumption is that it doesn’t, but would be amazing if it did..

[@dimav83]

no, but it would be a good idea to go to Enscape forum and ask/remind about this :) (the more people ask, the more chances that they implement this support finally)

[@AceHardy]

Consistency 💯

Is it possible to convert an animator file to a FBX file and then add it to Lumion? answer me please !!!!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't believe animator exports to FBX unfortunately

[@w.binder-freecadchannel]

Very nice! ;-)

Dear Maestro, great Animator of Fredo6 is not architecture.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

You're telling me there are no architectural applications for moving animations? Not moving vehicles? Opening doors? Just because you don't use it to draw buildings does not mean it's not an architectural tool

@@Thesketchupessentials Exists name "AEC software" with various applications, as I know even for simulation of cars and people movement simulation, i.e. trafic simulation with deep math background too, visual part is not critical and it is not for architects, it is for road engineers, railway engineers of transport engineers. AEC, is not official shortening of all software for branch, for this industry. It is wide range of products, but f.e. CAD is of course wider than AEC. F.e. for me SketchUp is more than CAD too 🙂.
