....it's me again touting the features of SketchUp. I spent most of the
afternoon learning the thing and put together this lantern model. The
animation is a BIG .avi file about 1.8 meg and should load auto in Windows
media player. I put in 10 views and the program put in intermediate frames
(about 160) to get smooth transitions. The first link is the animation and
the second are a pair of lanterns I made previously using advanced pencil
technology.
