Drone Demo using AmbientOcclusionEx This is the same model as I posted originally but this version was rendered with the AmbientOcclusionEx plugin.

Nice Rich - Did I see some scaling in the crane portion of the scoop? If so, how did you that. When I click on the Scale tool, I do not get/see any options. Am I doing something wrong. That is a feature I need to be able to complete my car wash.

That is what I thought. Your animation looks like there was some scaling so I was just checking.
Rich, Can you look at my last entry in the Animator and Ambient Occlusion thread and let me know what you think. BTW: The thread should be more correctly name to Animator and AmbientOcclusionEx which is the correct name for the plugin. I set it up incorrectly.

The two animations below were generated with version v1.0r2 of Animator. They are a very simple animations showing a car driving up the to payment booth at a car was, stopping at the payment station, pulling forward and waiting for the payment verification, and then driving through the payment gate once payment has been verified/approved.
One was done directly with Animator and the other was done using the AmbientOcclusionEx plugin. Both were done without any changes to the model.

So simple! So Cool! Just translations and rotations! What about making it move forward too?

Nice Rick - I like this one. Bet it would look good in a rendered version so the paint could take on a bit of a metallic look.

Here is the forklift demo rendered in Twilight Render with SketchUp screenshot overlay. I believe support for Twilight Render animation rendering should be in the next version ( > 1.0v) We will post soon an installer (for Windows at first) for Twilight Render V2 Pro that supports Animator inter-operation for beta testers to try it out (this will be a Pro feature). Again, it will require both an update from Animator and TWR, which should be available pretty soon.

Even though I do not have a Twilight Pro license, I am exciting announcement and hope that some Pro users will post some samples.

@Falstaff, if you edit your post and remove the "s" and just make it http:// in the URLthen the videos will show up inline.

@Falstaff I really like you examples of the camera following an object. I am going to work on one for learning purposes but I think you have a perfect example.

@Falstaff: this are really impressing examples for the use of Animator. The walking and gesturing people are well made. The SketchUp design is simple and clear.

No point. The image sequence plays in the viewport so it would not sync with the frame rate.

Ok, thanks! Then I guess I'll wait for other kind of implementation...

Unreal is some more difficult than Unity!

I've seen nicer images from Unreal than Unity. Basically, lighting is better. However I've heard something about Unity having revamped their lighting... Why is it easier?

So, are you saying this would not work with Animator or was you animation generated with Animator?

I'm saying to only way to capture the animated texture is to record the viewport.
