I'm looking for a way to animate a lightsource (simple plane object) using the sketchup's scenes.
Is it possible to do this with sketchup and skindigo?
could someone write a step by step tutorial?
thks
help me... how can I animate a light?

What aspects are you trying to animate? Position? Intensity? Color? All?snorky wrote:I'm looking for a way to animate a lightsource (simple plane object) using the sketchup's scenes.

snorky, I'm not sure that you can do this sort of animation with scene tabs in Skindigo...
The only way you could do this would be to create lots of copies of the light component, each on a separate layer, and rotate each one. You then create a scene tab for each rotated component, with all the other turned off. For example;
#1 @ 0 deg
#2 @ 15 deg
#3 @ 30 deg... and so on, for as many as you need.
This will work as a SketchUp animation, however I do not think (and please someone tell me if I am wrong!) that you can turn components on and off between scene tab animation with skindigo...
You might be able to do something with SketchyPhysics? But I cannot help you there I'm afraid... I've never used it.
