New SketchUp simple cube not pivoting up and down Hi,

Maybe I did something wrong... Do not know but I followed all the advices...

I created this simple Cube in SketchUp, imported it in Muvizu but it only goes in 3 directions:

Up and down
Left right
Pivoting left and right upon the right angle of the cube; why from the right angle????

Not pivoting from any angle up or down? You know like the camera movement...

Why is that?Whaaaaa?

As far as any PlugIn Tab n the tool bar, it is absent as well...

This is called Enigma!

That'll be because you're using sketchup 2016 not sketchup 8.
When you install sketchup 8, the file directory will be as it says on the page, and the exporter will appear under the "plugins" tab.

If you really want to keep using your sketchup version, you could try moving the .rb file to this location:

If you manually place the file there, you'll probably have to change your permissions to see those directories. By default, I think some of them are not visible

Yes,but the link you give (ie; http://www.rodneyandberty.com/downloads/) does not give Sketchup 8 but 2016 so you should update it or remove it...The name of the exe file is SketchUpMake-en, not SketchUp 8

I'll try again with the new link and keep you posted.

Roland

The rodneyandberty link is the plugin only. The Google drive link is sketch up 8


Yes, but when I went on Muvizu, on this link http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/57/import-objects-ase-importing-to-muvizu-from-sketchup,

where I downloaded everything, the link he mentions for Google SketchUP, does not give SketchUp but SketchUpMake-en...

This is where the mistake is on this link... Your sharing link works...

I already downloaded this stuff... The path mentioned in the link, ie, (c:\program files(x86)\Google\Google Sketchup8\Plugins),

is incorrect with Windows 8...

The operating system shouldn't affect the installation path at all.
Are you sure you're using google sketchup 8? I have a download link for it here if you need it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-_4UVPr59ACNjBQSTNYRjNwQkE/view?usp=sharing


Well, I installed via the link you provided. It gives SketchUp 2016... Not 8...Maybe it is the same thing, it does not says..

BUT the version given in your link is 32 bits and Windows 8 is 64 bits...Maybe this has something to do with it...I guess it should not but..never know...

I will try the sharing link and see how it goes...

from Sketchup's help center:
The Extension Warehouse and SketchUp were made to work together. In most cases, to add an extension on your local copy of SketchUp, you simply click the Install button on the extension details page and wait a moment while the software does the rest of the work.


on my windows 8 machine, the install path is as follows:
c:\users\your name\appdata\roaming\sketchup\sketchup 2015\sketchup\plugins\muvizuaseexporter.rb

If you manually place the file there, you'll probably have to change your permissions to see those directories. By default, I think some of them are not visible


I get absolutely no Install button...When I click on the link, it just downloads this .rb file and nothing else, no application whatsoever...

Nothing is relevant to what is going on on my Windows 8 on those links...

I will try your path, install the .rb file and will see what goes on...

How to install ase exporter in sketchup! HI,

I am trying to create an object, and I downloaded Sketch up. However to export to ASE format, you need the exporter.

However, I read the link http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/57/import-objects-ase-importing-to-muvizu-from-sketchup

However, on this link, the gentleman gives a link to download some kind of .rb file to use to export as ASE file but he does not say how to install it,neither where!
He says to click on the link but alll what you get is a .rb file and no more instructions!Whaaaaa?

So I am left with useless stuff...

Does anybody know what to do with this.rb file he says to download to be able to export to Ase?

Thanks in advance

I am using Windows 8...

Another bug making my video Hi guys,

I got this keyboard player I need to animate.
First, I choose the prepared actions (enabled) in the dedicated window.
Then I switch to direct and they are never enable. They are in the Direct Window but are not enabled!!!! so I cannot use them!

I turned off Muvizu and boot it back up: nothing works...

Do you have any troubleshooting advice?

Kitten Does anyone:

1) Know where to find a Muvizu Style Kitten
2) Can make a Muvizu Style Kitten

I mention "Muvizu style" because I have looked all around the Net, there are many cats / kittens (cheap and expensive - expensive but absolutely beautiful of course, with fur and hair etc.) but I suddenly realized that if I mix any style cat with Muvizu characters, this will not be nice...This has to be Muvizu style.

Any clue of proposals?Bit Wonky..

For Info: this will be used in a charity series...charity animations and charity animated song video...

First video with Muvizu... After a bit of sweat, I manage to get our first video up on Youtube...Lots of good feedback on FaceBook

Let me know...I just have a doubt on image quality... it is perfect on mobile but once on bigger screen...mmmmm... A bit blurry on a bigger screen like laptop ones... Is there a way to handle this?

Getting Muvizu's previous version I have an issue with my actual Muvizu's version, ei, V1.6...More precisely with a scene that keeps on not opening anymore...

To sort this out, it might be possible (Support says, with a big MIGHT) to try to open my scene with a previous Muvizu's version.

Where and How can I the previous version to try?

Thanks in advance.

Muvizu not working I created a scene (4-5 hours)...Then once I saved it, Muvizu would not open it anymore mentioning a object is missing...Lost my scene...

I contacted Support and they told me they were working on this bug and that this was due to recording over blocks...No deadline for sorting out the bug apparently.

So I did my scene again (2-3 hours)../ WITHOUT recording over blocks... It worked for a while and tonight, the scene will not open anymore, like before... I lost it again...

So how can you indeed trust that any of your work is going to be safe and that you will have your final product without wasting hours and hours!!!!Whaaaaa?

How do you do it? DO you know how to sort this out?Whaaaaa?

Issues with character actions Hi,

It is not going right with Prepare and Direct character actions at all..Whaaaaa?

1) When I select specific actions in Prepare, once in Direct action window when recording, only a couple of actions I prepared are enabled, and not all of them, so I cannot use all of them. I am stuck with a couple!

Example... I selected 5 happy actions on Prepare but when I switch to Direct, only 2 to 3 are enabled!!!!


2) I selected Sit as initial action (this is for a DJ in a radio station seated)...When I select Conversational when Preparing/directing, this idiot stands up!!!Whaaaaa?

How do you prevent him to stand up when you have already selected Conversational and Sitting (as initial action)??


3) How do you remove actions your have prepared? I tried clicking on them, right or left, no window opens to remove them so I am left with actions I selected without being able to change them!!!

Can you help pls... I cannot produce my video...

Using Windows 8 (that I do not like), 8 gb ram, Intel Core i5, 2.4 gH...

Thanks in advance

Roland

Multiple audio clips per character? Hi guys,

I know this post is quite old but I found out how to do it...Perfectly.

On the Prepare Audio window, you create a new audio for your first character. You import your track.

Then on the same Prepare window, you click on New, this create another track name and you add up a second track, that you import etc...

Then on the Prepare window, you click on New and you create a third track name... etc.

Then you place each audio track where you want on the TimeLine.

It is working perfectly on my pc. I got 3 characters and each of them with their audio

and so on... Am I too late?

Grim reaper Hi Ziggy,

THanks for your reply... I actually did what you said and it worked...The scythe was there... However, I had to give up... The scythe is so HARD to orientate, make stand upwards, and do whatever you want with it!!! I gave up...

Grim reaper HI, I am looking for a free (or cheap) Grim Reaper to input on a charity Muvizu animated video. One that actually works

Maybe just a scythe would do... I found some free ones but the import does not work...It says there is not enough room when the set is empty!

Any tips or idea?
