Hello,
On our french forum biblo3d.com, we have developed recently a free sketchUp plugin able to produce Enscape VideoPath in XML format from either sketchUp pages or any type of animation path curve.
This plugin is named SJ_XML_To_Enscape_Path_Video and have been written by Simon JOUBERT.
The free plugin written in French and English version is available for download HERE
Some video tests can be seen on this tread dedicated to SMustard FlightPath 2 plugin HERE.
A Quick description of this plugin :
SJ XML To Enscape Path Video is a plugin for Sketchup.
It allows you to create an XML file, which will then be imported into Enscape to configure the videoPath.
The plugin allows you to create key frames either from SketchUp pages, or from the edges of a curve and a target component.
In both cases, you can:
Define the delay between two viewpoints, with 3 parameters (beginning, middle and end of animation). It is thus possible to simulate an acceleration or a deceleration.
Set animation start, middle and end time, time of each view is calculated, which can simulate time passing or animation going back in time.
3 camera options (shaky, smooth transition and field of view angle).
For the animation Path obtained from a curve only, forward or reverse simulation.
For the animation Path obtained from a curve and a target component, additional options (Traveling and Panorama).
The XML files are saved in a subfolder bearing the name of the model in the model folder.
The parameters of the last export are saved for each type (curve or scenes) in an attribute dictionary of the model.
The plugin is translated into English and French according to Sketchup's language settings.
Access to the plug-in :
via the menu > Extensions > Simjoubert Tools > XML To Enscape Path Video
or by SJ XML To Enscape Path Video Toolbar
XML Dialog window from Sketchup pages
XML dialog from animation path curve and a target component
Hope this coud be of interest some of you.
