Posts: 86 		Just installed today's latest release. Invisible does not work properly for me with this release.
Only part of the character is invisible. Hair, ears stay visible.

Any suggestions?

you can still make the bits that stay visible invisible via the character edit for that attachment. a bit of a pain until its fixed but workaroundable.

It's even stranger for the newer characters as just their heads are invisible

Posts: 2220 		I'm not sure I would use it too much, but it would definitely have a novelty factor - I've always wanted to try editing 3d videos, but Muvizu has limits currently regarding number of cameras (well, ok, maybe not so much now) and the lack of possibility to move them together.

Love to, but I've only done so once out of about a dozen tries. The server always times out on the Full version Which is immensely frustrating. But *sigh*, I'll try again. Makes me feel like a crazy person or a Republican -- trying the same things over and over, expecting different results....

This seems related to the dll issue.
Try using a download manager to download the installer - it should solve these problems: http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/64/troubleshooting-download-managers

You say that now, but...

Given your sets are quite err... heavy (as an understatement) you should be able to get a bit of a speed boost from this. Generally, put all your background stuff into layers - and then hide them when working with foreground characters. Should remove lag and such like. You don't just have to use them for rendering out...

Also, from a development point of view upping the number of cameras was a simple change - the render layers - quite a bit harder to do.

Hello,

If you haven't already - put a support ticket in. The thing that catches my attention here is the install path, have you not installed it to the root of C? Was that deliberate? Just wondering if that's related to the problem...

I know what you mean Big Grin I need 30 or 40 consistent characters available, but not all for each shot, so... turn them off until needed. And the extra cars, props, etc. I guess my Lakeside set kinda forced this (sorry), but it's a neat solution - you can still fill up the skydome with hundreds of imported objects, but only have them activated when in shot. Still think having more than 4 cameras is the real game changer though - anyone remember that vid Dreeko made with the dark, rainy street? Looked awesome because he used the cameras to project moving stuff on backdrops, but almost straight away he hit the camera limit...

And what's the deal with the TGA depth pass? I'm sure it's a nice feature, but without any kind of change log <cough> it's kinda hard to work out why it does what it does, or what we'd use it for. It is kinda freaky though

Also, now that we can have lots of cameras, would it be possible to either make them a bit transparent by default, or be able to toggle their visibility on the set the same way we do for characters? They get in the way, y'see, but I don't want to always have all of them hidden.

TGA depth pass is for anyone who would like to be fancy and do the depth of field in a post processing package such as after effects or nuke, although Muvizu cameras do a decent job of it anyway Big Grin

I think there have been a couple of issues come in... My thought was that the install path is (by default) C:\Program files\Muvizu Play\... rather than C:\Muvizu Play\ I was just wondering if the update had gone a bit askew with that. That can be dealt with through the ticket though...

If you bring up its properties, it's in there. Also, if you group select your items - and bring up the edit window, you should be able to assign all of the selected ones from there too...

Ah, now it makes sense! Thanks

Any idea why my set (saved in 1.4) is being rendered so dark in 1.5? The cameras don't match the output at all.

I turned off AO (first suspect) and it made no difference - it doesn't do this when you create a new set, just if you load an existing one (I've tried a few, no difference).

PS I now know I'm a veteran of Muvizu since 0.12b thanks to the wiki - and it was crap back then compared to now, you lucky things!

A couple of things to report - if you close muvizu with directx11 and a layer hidden, when opening the set with directx9, anything that was hidden does not appear.
Sets made with layers do work with directx9 for rendering etc.
