exporting proper animation

[mogogirl]

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to Twilight, just activated my license today...am looking forward to learning all about it. I'm pretty new to 3D graphics and animation in general and am trying to learn everything on my own...frustrating but fun!

Here's my first question (of many, I'm sure!) I have Proper Animation also on sketchup and am ready to export my animation. I have had no luck...it will export the "fly over" scenes as can be done in general sketchup but not the animation. i was told I would be able to export the whole thing thru Twilight. Can someone take me thru the process of how to do this? I found the animation tab in Twilight and have done all the settings but must be missing a step because all I seem to be exporting is a jpeg file and not the animation.

Any help with this is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you have set scene delay to 0, and check that your animation tab in Twilight looks something like this:

yep, that's what it looks like. Am I then to just close that and go to regular File, Export, Animation in Sketchup or is there somewhere within Twilight I start the exporting from? Sorry, probably a dumb question but I really know next to nothing about this stuff. Thanks!

thanks so much for the video...that really helped!!!! I have it saving now and will let you know how it works. I have a really big file so it's going to take it a long time to save.

Can't wait to learn more about rendering and using new materials!
