Happy Friday everyone! What kind of videos would you like to see in this series? :)

[@clearplan1971]

Looking forward to the vids covering fly through plugins, Justin!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks! Should be starting these later this week or next week!

[@eddieandersson5570]

HI Justin thx for excellent tutorials in both SketchUp and Blender.
I just finished your learn Sketchup in 30 days, great series.
And now I'm here and I wonder is there no way to visually see the path of the camera animation in Sketchup as in Blender, Maya etc? Or alter the transitions with ease-In/Out or alter the time it takes between each transition individually. I mean one camera move might be a long distance in the model and another a smaller move. Then it make no sense to me, for that smaller move to take as long as the longer one, if you get what I mean?
I'm an animator and I find these tools very limiting in Sketchup. I will have a look at Fredo's Animator next.

[@SketchupStyle]

Always good to remember the basics. Thanks

[@Thesketchupessentials]

We'll start here and then move into some more advanced stuff :)

[@MarioSpiteri]

Hello Justin, you can mention also another useful options to automatically export IMAGES of the scenes at a click of a button. Just disable the "Enable scene transitions" so this will essentially create a "video" with 7 images (in your example). However, rather than exporting the video, you export an Image Set. This will export the images as "Filename NNN.png" where NNN is a sequential number. This is particularly useful to avoid having to manually export File >> Export >> 2D Image for each scene every time you need to export the scenes as images, which would be time consuming.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

This is a good tip - thanks! :)

[@brianmcmurray4023]

Perhaps I'm missing it, but where is the link to the Fredo6 animator plugin?

[@cmontesinos007]

Is there a way to export an animation and have it include the fog and shadow effects. I have the fog and shadows on for each scene, and when I export it, they never seem to appear in the video product. Am I doing something wrong, or does GS just not do this?

[@shakiramorassut2126]

my graphics is due next week and I didn't know how to do a bloody fly through THANK UUUU

[@stevesculptor1]

The free version is totally different and very limited on the scenes tab

[@tomgillan6655]

Very good video - but it looks like the animation file export options have been reduced in Pro 2020. Any idea why?

[@redmandesigns8924]

How do u update all of your seines all at once ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you might be able to shift click on multiple scenes in the scene manager and hit the update button?

[@davidwhite160]

Is it possible to create an animation with "rendered" frames just using Sketchup?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't really understand the question - SketchUp doesn't have a rendering engine built in, so you can't create ANY kind of rendering just using SketchUp...

[@davidwhite160]

@@Thesketchupessentials I know, but if you used the V-ray extension to render the scenes, could you somehow stitch them together in an animation

[@phiteonn3541]

@@davidwhite160 You could create scenes then just input into Windows Movie Maker (or whatever video creation software you own/use), then manipulate scenes how you like?

[@SketchupStyle]

@@davidwhite160 the short answer is YES. Actually, you gave me a nice idea for what to do for my next short tutorial video ;)

[@SketchupStyle]

@@davidwhite160 As promised, in my latest video I made a tutorial for exactly what you're asking. Come and check it out. Hope it helps.

[@4WDIESEL1]

is it possible for you to do a video on how to create 45-degree shadows in elevations. i know there is a plug-in but again it comes down to money.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Why wouldn't you just...turn shadows on?

[@timguernsey8030]

Great tool to learn. Nice explaination.

[@quangatle1270]

Sir, are there anyways that i can create moving animation in enscape? i tried to use animator and Vray at 700x450 and 10fr/s but my systerm isn't good enough to make movie.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Only a moving camera animation - I'm not aware of a way to animate the movement of objects at the moment

[@huyle2057]

use a 2nd program to speed up the video, 10fps x 3 speed = 30fps

[@quangatle1270]

@@huyle2057 nice idea! thanks for sharing it

[@russellschundler6559]

Is there a way to have one setting for constant height vs. having to set that on each frame?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Not sure - maybe in the advanced camera tools extension?

[@lavanyagarg1319]

great video well explained
