IMHO I suggest you change the name of the thread to Animator Suggestions. The current title is a little misleading. The title insinuates you are making/asking to SketchUp.
Here the NEW versión of the english tutorial because I miss the Last part of the tuto (Animation Technics) that was included in the Spanish version.
Here the new link:
If you have Sketchucation Tools installed use the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu in SketchUp and copy/paste the text output here.
If not then you need to share the version of Libfredo and Animator you are using,
I'm done with Animation… I've tried almost everything to get this scissor mechanism done, but Animation seems te be in lack of many good functions or functions that simply don't work. I was realy hopefull when I started Animation, but it doen't offer what it promeses. I hope that Fredo6 will give attention to Animation in order to make it functional without bugs and lets hope with a users manual. For now… I will give it a try in either Blender or Cinema 4D.
Think of an animated car fish tailing around a corner. The front wheels follow the path around the corner, while the back of the car swings away from the direction traveled around the corner, hence the car fish tails.
I would imagine this animateted car has a second path which would control the back end of the car causing the car to appear to fish tail.
I hope this illustrates what I'm after when I say object follows 2 paths.
Thanks.
