SU Podium 1.7.2 for Google SketchUp

SU Podium 1.7.2 for Google SketchUp

In SU Podium 1.7.2 Windows, Render All has been
improved or rather "fixed" for the Windows version.
Render All for Podium Mac version has worked all along
so this update to 1.7.2 may not be as beneficial but
if you are a Mac user and plan to do large animations
with hundreds of scenes at high resolution, 1.7.2
would be the better choice. With this version, Render
All works as it was original designed to. That is,
when Render All is invoked, all scenes in the model
will be rendered. With previous versions, Render All
would quit working after a small number of scenes were
rendered. Using 1.7.2 and Render All, it is possible
to create animations where the camera moves through
the model as in a walk thru or fly thru animation.
There are several steps to creating the final
animation but the most important step, Render All,
works without having to resort to patching various
models and scenes together.

When invoked, Render All renders each scene. To save
time, only the first scenes geometry is processed.
Each subsequent scenes camera view is then rendered.
One draw back to this method is that object animations
can not be created with Render All. You are limited to
camera animations. Render All saves each rendered
scenes JPG image to a designated folder. When it is
complete, you can take all the images that were
rendered and use Windows or Mac programs like Movie
Maker or Quick Time Pro to create a video animation.
The idea is that each scene in SketchUp is like a
frame in a movie. When each scene is rendered with
Render All, each JPG image can be used as a frame.
When "stitched" together with Movie Maker or Quick
Time, a walk thru video animation is created. With
1.7.2s improved Render All function, the process is
quite simple.

Go to the Registered User page on this web site to
download SU Podium 1.7.2. This is a free update.

Please take a look at the following two videos. The
first one is of a photo realistic walk thru rendering
using SU Podiums Render All to generate the images
and Windows Live Movie Maker to create the video. The
same thing can be done in QuickTime Pro for the Mac.

The second video is an explanation of how to use
Render All in SU Podium 1.7.2. This video tutorial is
applicable to both Windows and Mac users. However the
last one third of the video is dedicated on how to
create video frames in Windows Live Movie Maker. To
see a details explanation on how to create video
frames and videos from still images in QuickTime Pro
for the Mac
