Posts: 640 		hehe i noticed the 3 finger hands on them all immediately dunno why. I remember thinking "how odd" but I am used to it now and I doubt anyone watching the videos notices such things. I have seen it in other comics/cartoons though so its a common style. Never figured out why this 3 finger trend caught on .. but if its good enough for homer I guess I can cope with it..

Posts: 815 		2 suggestions regards right clicking :

Right clicking a light - could you have the brightness slider on the right click menu? It's the most common reason you'd be clicking on it anyway, when fine tuning, and it'd be nice to not have to get to the Properties windows every time. Even if it wasn't a full size slider, and had less definition, it would be helpful feature I think.

Right clicking an object - similarly, I find that when working with objects my most common reason to get to the Properties window is the change the Physics bit (floating, stood on, upright). You mostly need the Properties screen when you first create the object to colour and size it, but after that it's more about positioning it without disturbing any of the other objects nearby (so the Physics bit becomes invaluable, I find). I work with a lot of objects

I'm Ziggy72, and I've been on Muvizu for 3 years now.
<group gives sympathy>
It started, like with some of the others, seeing this strange little program on Click on the BBC. I thought I'd try it, y'know, to see what the kids were going on about. It seemed fun at first, just a nice little program to make animations, all pleasant and entertaining... I never thought I'd get addicted, but after that first hit, wow, that was it, I was in, I couldn't stop. I spend hours every day, sometimes for weeks on end, making stuff, editing stuff, drawing stuff, just to feed the habit. I thought I could quit anytime, it was just a bit of fun, I could handle it...but now I'm mainlining a half hour movie, dragging other addicts into my circle of depravity and serial killers. Carole, I need help.

I never noticed anything odd about Rosie's hands until you pointed it out, Hamster - they are a bit knuckly, aren't they? It looks like she's been punching somebody lately...looking at finger joints on the other characters, they're much more 'sausage' like, more natural looking, whereas Rosies are more 'tube-bump-tube' looking. Maybe she needs a little bit of surgery

Posts: 398 		Welcome Carole! I hope your journey through Muvizuland is a long and happy one! I've been using Muvizu for about 3 years now and during that time have created a variety of things with it. I tend to like to animate "quick jokes" and such but also like to make musical "rock videos" from time to time.

Danimal, a fellow Muvizuer and I are currently working on an ongoing animated series of a small time garage band always trying to make it to the "big time". It's called The Garage Band Blues and the first several episodes are in the gallery if you care to have a look. Here lately I've been creating things for ZuboxTV and working on a few other projects so I keep pretty busy "Muvizuing".

Again, welcome to Muvizuland!

Posts: 640 		Hi there

welcome to our forums. I post lots mostly to answer questions may you enjoy your time at muvizu.

-edit in afterwards (for a postaholic my post is the shortest what gives?) -

how I use muvizuzu;

I make superman videos using public domain radio recordings and some other odd things when the mood hits me. I spend I think more time building the sets -as I insist on making most of my own props etc - then I do I think working on the actual animating usually 4-8 weeks making sets and 2 weeks max animating and then another week or half a week doing the video editing and sound work.

okay now my post is a respectable length Big Grin

Posts: 133 		Welcome Carole Toast Glad you popped in and said Hi! I have to agree we do have a pretty great community.

You won't find me posting much in the forums. I usually save that for when I really have something to add. Love Muvizu I have some projects in the works. It is amazing at what some of the users have made and the extent of some of the projects they are working on.

I wish you luck on your new adventure here, and look forward to hearing from you more as you get use to everyone.

I was also at the PLAY launch though didn't realise them I was going to become part of the team so I may have met some of you in person.

It'll take me a while to get familiar with all your users names and content but how lucky do I feel to be involved with such an exciting and potentially industry changing technology. Will take a look at some of your work tonight.

Welcome to the community! I am MrDrWho13, and found out about Muvizu with the BBC Click thing a few years ago. I have watched it grow from 0.16b and now we have version 1.0 (or 1.5 or whatever it is now with all the patches!).
Keep an eye out for the moguls, and those who went to the Muvizu:Play pre-launch party. (I also attended, so just ask around the office for more info about me)
My Muvizu work includes some Muvizu re-makes of youtube hits (such as the ASDF series) and the Uzivum Movies which have input (both scrips and voices) from many people from the community here.

I hope you enjoy working at Muvizu and am looking forward to hearing more about you and your input to Muvizu.

Posts: 439 		Hi Carole, welcome to the asylum.

My name is John ( 49 male ) and I am a Muvizuholic.
For any further details about me I suggest you ask around the office as I was at the Muvizu PLAY launch and I'm sure someone was sober enough to remember me.

I am currently working on a couple of projects, one is a music video for a songwriter who had some success and radio plays with the track and is now looking to revive it. It was even featured in the Sun newspaper.

The other project is Dragonton, ( my baby ), best described as a cross/spoof of Futurama and Lord of the Rings although nothing like either really. It will be a series of 15-30 minute episodes that I am doing all the work for myself, ( apart from a few selected assets ), from writing to finished movie. I may need to cast some voice actors when I finally finish the script for episode one and have all the locations built and ready.

I also occasionally upload one off clips on anything I feel like animating.

I hope you enjoy your time at Muvizu and wish you good luck and many laughs.

Posts: 4 		Just want to say HELLO and to introduce myself to you all.

My name is Carole and I've just joined the Muvizu team working to help spread the news about our great software, the awesome animations you guys are producing using it and to help the team share new developments as they crop up over the coming months.

I've heard really good things about this community and really look forward to getting to know you all better.

Be nice if some of you can pop by and introduce yourself and tell me just a little about how you've been using Muvizu.

And thirdly - I've tried, but I think you have made the lighting worse in Muvizu Play. You pretty much can no longer use "contribute to ambient shadow" as most spotlights stop doing anything - you generally have to use "cast own shadows" to get the light to show at all. You can still get the effects you want, but it's a shame to have gone backward on this one.

Good point well made, some objects don't cast shadows when animated as well, see video below.......



Btw, don't know what happened to the aspect ratio. Lost in conversion from IYUV to .m2t in Vegas somehow. Whaaaaa?

It reappeared after resizing so it's probably something in the page code.
I reckon this is exactly the problem. The new-look Muvizu website is "responsive" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design) so that the same content is delivered to every device and browser in the most appropriate manner for the user. A good example is if you go to http://www.muvizu.com/ with the browser window maximised and then you reduce the width of the window so that it gets "skinnier" - at a certain point, the links next to the Muvizu logo (""What Is Muvizu?", "Gallery", "Get Assets", etc.) will seem to disappear BUT a little pink box with white lines will replace them. If you click the pink box with white lines, you'll see that the links have actually been stuffed away in there, to make the page less cluttered in a smaller window size. The site is full of clever little tricks like that to make it easy to view and navigate across different platforms! My guess is that the download links are doing a similar thing but no wee box is coming up to replace them. Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention - hopefully it'll get sorted soon!
