Interested in collaborating on some z-grade films? Thanks ver much for your offer Fazz - it would be great to have you on board.
In reality - i'll need help with everything - probably shouldn't have stressed the sets stuff as much it's just that I'm crap at it.

I think we share a common interest in trash - and that can only be a positive thing!

Interested in collaborating on some z-grade films? All
I am not sure if i'll ever get round to this and don't know if I will use Muvizu or something else but I am hoping to convert my old z-movie films into animations.

I made the films about 25-30 years ago and they would need re-editing but they have a basis of a story and already have the spoken dialogue (although I would probably redo some of it).

If I do I would love to have some help - especially in the scene/prop building area so if anyone is interested in potentially collaborating please reply to this thread.

The potential films are:

SPONGED!

A coughing epidemic is sweeping eighties Britian but who is to blame?: Is Thatcher protecting the British sponge industry? is it the work of the Institute of Sponge genetics? Does the head of Supasponge Corporation have anything to hide? Or is the truth far more sinister?

KILLER QUIFF FROM BEYOND THE CRYPT (a "musical")

When born again christian Freddie Scarfe is killed by the Geordie Psycho Bikers he goes to heaven happy in the knowledge that the British justice system will punish the hairy hoodlums. When they are let off scot free Freddie is very very angry, but he can't do anything from heaven. Will he make the ultimate sacrifice and move to the dark side to get his revenge?

THE VENUSIANS ARE COMING (AGAIN)

When the Venusians invasion is defeated by The Worlds new weapon (the Zockblaster) they develop a time machine (the backscuttleshuttle) which allows them to invade again before it was invented. Will they succeed this time or will they be thwarted by a Superhero?

F*** ME ZORCH INCORPORATED!

James Bond takes on his most challenging mission yet as he takes on the combined threat of Doctor Vite, Zorch Incorporated and a horde of flesh eating zombies. A task made even harder by MI5 cost cutting and rats in the circus!

Problems uploading / commenting on videos Lippyalison

I'm sure one of the Muvizu team will answer your question soon but out of interest do you upload from the program or from the website? The website is generally the most reliable option.
Nice sketch by the way and I see you got a mention in the free "Metro" newspaper this morning - congratulations

the avengers radio series excellent news Fazz and well deserved - a brilliant set of animations

FMX 2013 Muvizu workshop Dreeko
and your Idea animation too! - I don't know, you would think you were the only user!

Anyway main drift (although i missed the last few minutes) seemed to be along the lines of attempting to break into the professional market and have a "professional" version of the software.

There was also mention of importing assets via FBX but it wasn't clear whether or not this was only for the pro version - hence my question. Barry mentioned they have already performed some successful tests.

Monetisation was also mentioned as being something else that is still being looked at (ie an alternative method to the recently implemented pay per minute).

FMX 2013 Muvizu workshop Some interesting stuff there and for me the big question is:

Will the FBX import (if proven successful) be avaiable in a hobbyist version (free or otherwise) too as I am assuming the professional version will be priced at professional levels?

Thanks

Repeated characters hugmyster wrote:
If it is feasible (this is Muvizu - it's GOT to be!) then can I just copy actions? So, take one character with actions and copy just the actions to another character?


Unfortunately it is not possible - but it is often requested!

Arnold and the Box.... My 1000th post!! Loved the sketch - just my short of humour and you made brilliant use of the new features in PLAY to animate the eyes. Fantastic how you managed to get all his feelings across using only his eyes and voice.

How do I get an image on a sphere? MrDrWho13

I might be able to do this for you if you send me the image you want to use

Double click camera window - CRASH Ember
You may already have tried this but in the past whenn I have had problems installing Muvizu I did a complete uninstall and then install including setting the checkboxes for .net and direct x and letting it "repair" them even though they were in full working order.

ICLONE and MUVIZU It would be wonderful if one day we could use Muvizu alongside ICLONE but this would involve being able to import/export charcters into/out of Muvizu. Is this ever likely to be possible/allowed?

In the past the characters that could be used in iclone wew limited but you can now import characters in many formats and animate them (body and face) within iclone.

This opens up the possibility of importing cartoon characters (whereas in the past iclone has tended to go for the more realistic end of the market) such as those produced by the wonderful 3duniverse.com.

Muvizu user Wabby's new videos has just released a video using their Toon Generation characters which could easily be changed wuithin DAZ (currently free) to more closely match Muvizu characters.

Superman Episode 4 is done Urbanlamb
I think you are absolutely right about short attention spans these days; younger people don't seem to get past 3/4 minutes. I am sure many are "scared off" as soon as they see the length of the video. Have you tried looking at your "attention" stats on youtube - they may give you an idea. Even the fall off on short clips is marked.

I can see why you make the 30 min episodes as they match the narrative better and you do not want people to lose the thread.

How about making shorter 10 or 15 minute episodes but releasing them all together so you keep the integrity of the episode but present it in smaller bites?

Anyroad - another great animation - fantastic work.

Muvizu:Play (V1.0) Feedback Neil

You asked in relation to timeline show/no show issue

I wanted to ask what people thought of this. Is hiding everything by default the way to go, or would it be confusing? Is there a third option we haven't thought of?

Would it be possible to have it set to show all by default (for new "lite" users) but possible to be set to show none (for the "heavies") by selecting an option like you have currently with the Direct X and default rendering choices?

FAQ for common queries In the absence of a manual or a quick reference guide I think it would be very useful for new users if there was a FAQ section related directly to using the application.

The sort of things i am thinking of is the questions that regularly come up such as:

Why can I not output my video? (ie because end frame marker has not been moved)

I cannot create object because there is not enough space.

Why is my transparent video not transparent (that one is for me because i keep forgetting where the bstrip alpha bit is)

Watermark: new terms of use Dreeko it's just that your post mentioned "mucizu"
10/04/2013 13:25:09
Watermark: new terms of use I think that the pricing structure will scare off a lot of potential users.
When I made my Toy Dolls video i got nothing for it and Vince was kind enough to allow me to produce a video with no watermark free of charge as the band wanted to use it for promotional purposes (it even made Spanish TV!).
So the band got a very good deal - paying nowt.
If i had said that it would cost them £100 then they might still have gone ahead with it as it would still be a very very cheap video for them but with the new pricing structure and the way it works on the raw output rather than the finished product it would have cost thousands and there was no way they could afford that.

I am sure there are large businesses out there which could afford those prices (and maybe those are the ones that Digimania want to attract) so I guess it really depends on whether Digimania wanted a share of the "small time" commercial market or not
