Hi Anthony, sorry no animation is not on my target radar at all for a built in function. Again maybe with an SDK it is something an external developer could provide though.

@ Antony
the more funny and easy and free if you have dowloaded few times ago is Twinmotion!
(else its 375$ (updates included) till 31 december 2021 )
It has a terrific render Real Time for anything and now basic rotation / translation functions for anything!

Absolutly sufficient for show anything in any circontances anywhere! (sea mountain contry side) :)
Of course you can make any movies or still images you want!
A true gem!

Have fun discover and happy new year!

Yes Michael I meant an external program that integrates with my kind of viewport window where you see the instant changes of the object without actually exporting and then importing again in an external rendering engine .... a kind of integration between two programs through a direct link

<< where you see the instant changes

you have Enscape for that but it's for Rhino / SketchUp...and it's not very free :)
maybe works with the Free SKetchup Make 2017

It would be nice to have a render preview window directly executable by the modeling program so you can instantly see the changes made .... it's a huge time saver :)

thanks frenchy,

i always appreciate your software tips. i'll check it out. unfortunately, simlab composer isn't for me. so maybe this program is. i've been stuck with a very old version of keyshot. the newer versions don't work on my laptop. although blender is free, it's way too complicated for me. i don't want to devote a lot of time to learning how to render. the nice thing about keyshot is an idiot can use it, at least to a degree.

Perhaps, could you test the rendering with Cycles which can be launch into Moi.
