Here's a video created using essentially the techniques of claymation

I'm working on creating a robot. I wanted to show how to make an engine for the robot. Of note, the engine's output needs to be a flow of pressurized fluid and it needs to run with essentially no noise. It is created in Sketchup, the various images separated into layers, the whole image uploaded into KeyShot, and the layers rendered one by one. The rendered images are then "stitched together" using video creation software. Its a cool way to create a demo of what a moving multipart structure would look like. 
Here's the URL where I sent the video:  https://pistonrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Final-Engine-Sketchup-Images-Whole-Engine-plus-Closeup-valve-Plus-Keyshot-images-at-the-end-v1.mp4
