Sketchup Tutorial : Simple Animation Technique
Full Video Demonstration Below
1) This tutorial will show you how to use Scenes in Sketchup to produce an animation of your design. To start, select "Window -> Scene"
2) To start the Animation, move your camera to your desired perspective of your design, then select the "+" icon within the scenes tab - note the creation of a scene on the top left of your model space.
3)Continue creating more perspectives around your model and adding scenes as you go. Try to gradually change the height and views of your camera between scenes as it will allow for a smoother transitions for your animation.
4) Once you Have completed setting up your scenes, you can right click on the scene tabs on the top left of your model space, and select "play Animation" to see your animation play through the various scenes.
5) To change the properties of the animation, go to "View - Animation - Settings". Here you can change the time taken between scenes, as well as the running time of each scene.
6) As you can see from the changes made, the scenes in the animation take longer, but now there is no delay between scenes.
7) When you are happy with your animation, select "File - Export - Animation" and choose how you would like to export it. typically you would select the AVI option, but if you would like to batch render in Kerkythea you can export the frames as JPEGS.
