I started this thread ages ago, not expecting it to get quite so big. People with slower internet connections are having a long wait for all the pictures to load, so to make things easier I'm closing this topic and starting a new one (Coming Soon 2016) so that there can only be a maximum of a year's worth of images posted on it.

Thank you to everyone who put their pictures up, and I hope you'll continue to do so on the new page

Shoot I feel a party brewing here, As I come to the completion of the set, and already started the opening scene, Good time at Jabba's is going to be a wild and crazy time, invites will be sent out to those who loves booze, music, and a wild side of the force, but make sure you can handle your booze or Jabba will drop you into the pit..lol! here is a few more shots of the set as Im still adding more props and characters.

this is a shot of the emperor,Darth Vader,and Captin Neda sitting at one of the tables getting smashed, the conversation will be funny to listen to, Im working on a better Emperor.

Here's another shot of the dance floor, as you can see I left the stage empty with the mic because I decided to make it a karaoke party, so who's ever turn it will be you will see in the video.

another shot of the dance floor, if you look, Jabba has a new girlfriend!

well that's it for the screen shot for now, But I'm wondering what characters would you like to see singing, and what songs would you like to hear them sing, I have a few already, I just need some ideas, and if I decide to use it, I may need ideas to where to find these songs, any help would be great!

Cheers

I love the spy era set and acronym gag as well as the two more polished front-facing characters on the right. Their faces alone tell a story but the garb provides character background. Chubby Mustafa is harder to read from just one frame.

Hi everyone, Even though that Star wars Spoof are my biggest thing, I don't want to make make Spoofs all the time, I have other ideas as well, so i take breaks from those to do some side projects to, and I'm already in production of the first episode of a series that I call "JAR HEADS",
it's a war comedy series based on some characters that I use to draw when I was a cartoonist for my high school newspaper, since I have muvizu I figured I would try to bring them to animation, here are two screen shots of the set as of now.

Hey everyone I'm Back, so far I have made 3 star wars spoofs, and Finger Pistols are Dangerous, now I'm working on a new star Wars spoof, but it's going to be a bit more longer then the others, this one will take place in Jabba's Palace, where they have all of their parties, and where they also keep solo in carbonite, speaking of parties this spoof is more of a dance video with in a party, everyone is just having a good Time, that's it! the name will be "A Good Time at Jabba's" so you can watch all of the Characters having fun and you'll get a good laugh at what they do and say.

The set is already in progress and coming along very well, added three new characters, Jabba the Hut, some storm troopers, and one of the band members 'Max rebo', and working on more, here are some screen shots of the set so far.

This is a shot of Max Rebo getting down on is weird looking piano.

this is of Solo frozen in Carbonite, on the stage where the singer will be.

A Storm trooper over Looking the crowd, He will join in the fun as well.

Jabba The Hutt, hosting the party, he's a character wearing a Costume, had a hard time getting him to work but managed, the character I used was the boy because I used the back to add the body part, and the hat for the head, still a little tricky though, can't do much but dance when I use the tap dance action, and I can move his head with the head and eye direct function, more like a puppet..lol!

Two more troopers that will join in latter

Last but not least the Dance Floor where everyone will be strutting their stuff and we will be laughing while watching!

I'll add more pictures as i progress.

cheers!

Hi Every one, first I want to say I have a lot I'm working on,so when I post different things, don't mean I stop working on others, I'm such a big fan of Muvizu and have a lot of ideas I want to make and now I can, So putting that out of the way, back to the matter at hand, I just released two new videos in the gallery, Yoda's Advice on Beer, And Apologize to Lord Vader, two of my newest Star Wars Spoofs, Now I'm working on another titled "Luke I am your father" it takes place in Cloud City where luke loses his hand and Darth tells the truth, the set is being a butt right right now trying to get everything to stay still, but wants to bounce around after locking everything, but managed it out, here's a pic of the set, I'm trying to remember how it looked in the movie without looking at pictures.

I was waiting for someone to say that, yea your right about spider man, and I'm thinking of changing him, but the thing is, the Beefy character is the only one that uses the climbing action except for the women heros , and it was the only thing I could think of to get him to climb walls the way I want him to, maybe we should mention that they should add a slinder hero to the hero characters. also I don't like the standing idle for the small characters, the posture is way to wrong for spider man, they all have that sassy look when they stand that way, don't Spider Man would stand like that when he's talking to Mary Jane..lol, but I may change him to the small character, but gee's he's gona look funny!

Just to let every one know I decided to release the bat cave as an Set Asset, its on the Get asset page now, also I'm still producing my first Superguy Spoof video, and its coming along great, taking my time as I come up with some funny materials for the scripts, it's the first episode of many to come, and the title for the first video is "Throw of identity" how he finds out who he is, and I started the first spoof episode of The Dark Knight, called "You Missed in The Alley", something to do with the Penguin robbing some some poor ol sap,.
Ok I'm not finished just yet, to give you and Idea of all of the super heroes I'm planning on doing spoofs on, here is a picture of what I have plan.

This is just a few, more to come, the next in line is Spider man, here's a test shot, just seeing how good he looks to see if he will work.

ok now I'm finished.

Good Night Yaw!

Message from ziggy72

Sun, 09 Aug 2015 18:44:08 GMT

Dude, that's some fancy batgear you got there

Lighting it? If it were me, here's the procedure :

Delete all existing Muvizu lights
Edit>Environment
Set Shadow Mode to Custom - Ambient Shadow OFF! Zero! Individual Shadows 100% Shadow Sharpness 100%

(Now at this point your PC might grind to a halt, so bring back the Shadow Sharpness down to a level that just allows you to still navigate around with the lights on.)

Adjust the ambient light to near zero (or zeros if using the new version with 2 sliders).
Create a Spotlight - edit it, and set it's Shadow properties (Merge) to Cast Individual Shadows. Normally you should set all lights to Cast Individual Shadows initially, until you see how it works out. Adding to the Ambient is useful sometimes, but never for your main light sources.

Now you can begin lighting it. No obvious light sources in your shots, so you'll have to decide what they would be, where they are, and what they're pointing at. Or you can do what Hollywood does and just slap lights everywhere until it looks pretty. Lighting it the same way as the films is something you could emulate, or just play with the spotlights until you get something that makes you happy (that's kinda what I do ). Stick some spots in, see how it looks in the cameras (coz that's all that matters) and go from there. Hope that helps some

For Objects there are settings for 'Floats in the air' and 'keep upright' if only those could be included for the characters. Right now I think the best you can get is a camera roll sideways, and export as a layer, add the sky flying by in another channel in a video editor, but the cape, and the feet, are still problems. If you could only make characters stand on their tip toes, and include a fan prop like you mentioned, it would be enough.

as he is using the hero character he could just use the flying action.

Oh man, I totally missed that whole section of the actions. Well that solves it then.

One issue I'm having in the cape doesn't drape properly, it gets bunched up around the character's shoulders a lot of the time. The suggestion about a wind machine prop would still be really useful.

It seems with Superman you'll need the always-present flying scene. How will you handle that? I do wish it were possible to pose characters manually. I was thinking if the developer doesn't want to include that sort of thing in Muvizu, possible they could make available whatever interface or code they use in creating the animation as an external application, use at your own risk or whatever wouldn't matter. Just something to go a little deeper than the default. I'm a total noob with this app so O don't know where they stand on issues like that. I can understand the arguments against it, but allowing it seems like they could capture more serious animator's interests./quote]

I agree, what I wished they would do is supply us with the skeletons for every character so we could animate them the way we need them, and more add on to the characters so we can add more armor to the Beefy guy like BatMan, and it would be nice to have a cape that flaps when flying when sup"s flies through the air, if their was a way to have some kind of wind physics, you know like have a fan model like the do for the lights, so you can place the fans in front of the characters to simulate the cape flapping, also would be crate to use in a storm scene to where the characters are blown away...lol.. i guess I'm just dreaming, but who knows maybe someday someone will figure it out

Hi clayster here, not new to muvizu, but my first time posting, just wanted
to share my idea of a series of Superdude spoofs Here's some screen shots of a few sets so for.

This is a set of Kirk Kent inside of his fortress of solitude.

and this one is a set of Jerpel in his lab back on planet Crapton before was destroyed. still working on this one.

This was a little difficult, using Hitfilm to make planet Crapton and its sun collied then exporting the video to muvizu as a texture for a backdrop, then scaling the ship to make it look like its coming toward the camera.

Yes they fixed the lighting now it works LOL I can't remember now but is there not some way to turn of shadows on the lights? turn off the shadows on the directional main light and use lights inside the train to light it up for the shadows you know.. you actually want :P

If there isn't since they fixed the lighting they should probably add such a feature.. I might be getting my softwares mixed up..

it could do with a bit of width reduction.

yeah i had to turn off the shadows on the window part of the model to get rid of the shadows on the backdrops and angle the lights so the shadows from the rest of the models are below what is visible. its been quite a few months since i opened muvizu but im sure ive never had problems like that before. wack up the illumination and the shadows vanish. not anymore which is a pain in the arse
edited by fazz68 on 12/05/2015

very strange.... it only happens on that set? just tried with some random objects. muvizu ones, some ase imports and some fbx imports and no shadows. i'll have to investigate this further.

That's one roomy carriage you've got there! Is it the camera angle that makes it look that wide, or is it one major fat ass train? lol!

Backdrops wise, yes my recollection of the shadows is the same - ramp up the illumination and they would disappear. I take it that this is no longer the case?

I know Dreeko, it's not ideal, but it's definitely an improvement over the floaty, shadow-casting, static blocks we have now. And your video was one of the reasons I started experimenting with this method...

Hamster, it works by having the different eyebrow positions as layers in the source UV's PSD file - you export a complete character costume for each position you want to use, then use the Character Properties to animate the skin, allowing you to switch between them on the fly. I tested it for the first time on my Death Star Canteen vid (the guy serving) and it seemed okay, so from now on all my characters will use them. Once I post the PSDs, you can all do the same if you like

Message from Dreeko

Mon, 06 Oct 2014 10:20:38 GMT

The Importance of Eyebrows:

Multiple character textures with different eyebrow shapes animated (switched) over time.

This technique works but is not ideal if you had clothing textures to contend with too. It would be better if we had an eyebrow plane asset which we could animate separately. I suggested this years ago in the absence of a proper facial animation system but nowt has happened yet.

Finally, done all the costumes. Didn't realise it would take months... But then again, I did remove the floating brows from everyone and replaced them with ones you can animate instead. That took a while. I will post my versions of the default UV maps next week, so you too can experience the thrill of having characters with fingernails and belly buttons

Anyway, will finally start shooting stuff this week - relieved!

Looking good to get the voices all the same combine the tracks and then use software to normalize them but it has to be one track.

If your in a bind for music try partners in rhyme they have a sister site where they sell one track at a time http://www.musicloops.com/. I use another site primeloops but they are "loops" true loops for use in projects so you might not be able to find anything there. There are a ton of sites out there but my fall back is parnters in rhyme and most composers sell on their site anyhow lol.

Not sure it will make an informative read - it's just long hard slog.

We had 30 mins around 18 months ago and sat down to watch it with the original cast from Beware the Pie. I realised then that it wasn't good or tight enough. Also my resources and techniques had improved over the making of this version and I really needed to go back and apply the same throughout.

Little has changed for me with Muvizu over the last three years. We've had no new actions and characters holding objects is, well, let's just call it "version 1".

The main problem has been getting the script to a point I'm happy with, but this was completely cracked earlier this year.

So I'm busy remaking the whole thing again and trying to get a consistent look and quality all the way through.

I'm very pleased with the results, but it is really had work.

I do have a couple of production questions UkBerty if you don't mind. I know you been working on this film before Muvizu came out of Beta. So my question is has the introduction of Muvizu+ created more work for the film? As in going back and redoing scenes and such. Just curious as to some info on your production pipeline and challenges you have faced. Think it would be a great informative read. Especially for anyone thinking of taking on a huge task as you all have done.

So the next question will be for Muvizu HQ when we going to get an update? so we can watch this most anticipated film.

(plus im to lazy to make one ) lights and shadows are your friend. they can transform a simple set quite drastically into something impressive. dont be fooled by my pics, my sets are very simple and usually very small. its all about camera angles, lights, shadows and some awesome assets lol.

i cant wait it looks amazing..are they all muvizu assets or also your assets?

The curtains and the floor tile for the ceilings are Muvizu assets, but the rest is imported (or made by me in sketchup and imported in). The default objects are good to start with, to get used to manipulating the program, but they can't cover everything. You can't put a wallpaper texture on Muvizu walls, for example, so I mostly use UrbanLamb's walls (they're in the Asset gallery) which take textures and light very well.

Any time frame on completion there Ziggy?

I refer you to my New Year post for the answer to that...

This isn't a crowd scene (thankfully!) but rather the contents of my Cast set, where they all live in separate sections (sort of like holding pens) ready to be copy/pasted into their relevant sets. It's a big project because, even though it's only half an hour, I want to make it look as good as I can possibly make it. That takes a loooooong time...

Thanks jmlevesque, and yes, working with a dozen characters is hard, but over 100... forget it! I struggled through it though, with much coffee, swearing, and then more coffee. And more swearing. Incidentally, I'm actually in that theatre shot - front row, right side, right in the middle with the Zoidberg tshirt on. That's how desperate I got trying to think of people types to put in!

And I keep doing it to myself - tricky crowd scenes, always crowd scenes... like this one - no fun in executing someone in private, it seems

Just keep telling yourself it'll all be worthwhile...eventually. It's what keeps me going anyway

Wow indeed ! your trailer shot looks great ! I am also working (on my scarce spare time) on a fairly huge project as well... got a lot of Muvizu characters as well but it does not always go as we would like ! i am sure you experienced the same glitches as I did... not always funny and loosing a lots of hair on my side ! Hope to have my project out for sometimes in June 2014.

A word of advice - never try to put over 130 Muvizu characters into one place and then try to make them all look at the same point You will lose your mind.

yeah those boots with the big spike on the toe area that they can hide an entire cannon in hehe. That would not be hard to make and probably would resemble the footware on my zooks and yooks with a few modifications I guess. Feet in muvizu need oversized boots to make it work and look decent so the foot does not show when they move but its not hard once you figure out how

hey welcome back woztoons long time no see @artpen just lately ive been using a bit of everything. the ferengi stuff was done with sculptris and blender. urbanlamb gave me some blender coaching over the christmas period and its finally sunk into my brain after god knows how many times ive tried to learn it

rolf it takes my simple mind to remove the mystery of blender. Anyhow glad you got a grasp of it truly its a great tool its not perfect but its getting more and more financial backing and they are encorporating it into the valve community which runs on unreal engine (i suspect this is as a result of the source film maker stuff). I find it nice to be able to just make the object in blender and export it all set up and ready for muvizu. The only thing you cant do is add things like normal maps but that may come as a result of the two devs they hired specifically to work on stuff for the valve community.

Anyhow like your ferengi's

looking good mate, loving the fancy shoes the trouble with muvizu ears and noses now is we cant put textures on them so they look out of place when they just have the one colour. ive made a few nose's but not tried any ears. everything ive done lately ends up looking creepy, i think its because ive been doing this video for so long and my brain is in permanent evil stuff mode.

yes not a ton of hair just a little tuft. We can put our own eyes on the characters but because they have no pupil etc and are not animated we cant make em blink or anything much i guess (haven't tried its just eyes are a bit complicated)

hehe upgrade to 2.68 that works fine 2.69 is not the official version there are in fact "more buttons" on 2.69 however you will be happy to know that one of the main developers of blender has put up a super awesome ui redesign proposal. Their blender conferance is coming up soon they will be addressing it then too. However I am about 99.9999% sure that they will be going ahead with this redesign. Blender quite literally does everything so the ui is very crowded. There is one thing that I was doing wrong with blender 2.69 they added a new feature which I had noticed however that does not explain the other issues I found. Anyhow so yeah they are gonna fix blender a bit 2.69 is not working 100% correctly though.

I might make a couple more items tonight and stuff it in the gallery tonight if i get a chance to finish the dishes stuff plate and mug and a cup or something.

*cough* blender exporter is a wee bit buggy ...

as you know, i know next to nothing about blender but i will say.. i updated to the latest version and it messed all my FBX experiments up and i couldnt export anything the right size and all the textures vanished and i kept getting error messages about scale. so i promptly reverted back to the version i had originally which is version 2.62 and everything is hunky dory again. everything the size it should be, exports models with textures intact etc i know this is because of my lack of knowledge about blender and settings and such. so until i have mastered model making and maps and stuff (which still boggles my mind ) with blender, version 2.62 is the one for me

and loving the new cutlery and look forward to playing with it

This is what I do - and since you're importing an object, you can just assign blank textures to anything you don't want to glow. It's only since they fixed the importer that I've started experimenting with the options, but you can do some interesting things - neon striplights are dead easy Woz - it's just an imported tube, and the other bits can be abstract shapes.

Looks good ziggy and yes that Emissive setting is rather handy I have made some interesting neon signs with it. Your prison definately looks like a prison

woz there are two ways I have used both
you define areas as alpha on a texture same way as if you make a tree or something and need a transparent background and import as setting alpha to the emissive layer then only the alpha layers on your texture will glow .. for this you need a proper uv map

or you can just import an entire object and set to emissive and then the entire thing lights up if you are not needing specific parts to glow

More Sammamish - Raiford Prison, Florida.

@EEFilmz: As was I. If I was truly creating the production as advertised it would take me far more than a week as I'm finding with Dragonton. This is just a short observation inspired by some audio I found on Freesound.org. However, a little hype goes a long way. Call it "setting the scene".

Nice work on your sets and a great many models that are going up now are as a result of ziggy's requests or insanehamsters requests with the exception of the trees I think most of the models up in the last couple of months are a result of a request so keep up the ideas/requests because quite frankly i have no clue what is important other then "more models".

Animated gifs don't work within Muvizu I'm afraid. Transparent Avis are not instantly workable either. You have to follow a specific tutorial to do so. I don't have the link available for it at the moment as I'm posting this from my phone. Hopefully someone will jump in and provide it before I'm home to do so.

but if I was to make birds model ones it would be birds that you know sat on a perch and moved their heads or something like that. Otherwise I would use some compositing in a video editor and cheat ^^ .

But those outdoor scenes definately call for the birds flying overhead you know there is water there so a seagull and some strategic bird plops on someone's head to you know add some realism lol.

Hadn't thought of using the animated gif method, but I'll give anything a go (except fat birds from Seattle ). Not sure if it's all that important to have animals in there, considering there's going to be so many people wandering about, but then again... This film making lark can be tricky to keep under control sometimes (this set alone is currently 113mb and rising fast! )

But aside from that I've just been tinkering with adding an owl into a grave yard scene. In the end I made a model in two sections...body and head...so that I can animate the head section independently.

Haven't shot frame 1 yet (other than the set test that Kerry and Co saw). It will be months yet before it's done (assuming I can find my American voices...)

Also, those trees? They aren't pictures on backdrops - they're proper 3D trees. Can't tell you how much pain I've gone through to make them look reasonable! Sometimes, you just can't make movies in hours, or even weeks, but the grind is worth it in the end. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway

@ Jamie - Yup, same set, another angle.

@ Dylly - Never thought of doing a tutorial on the textures - I just thought everyone already knew how to do it! I will throw something together in a little while, after....

@ Dreeko - ...the 4th of July is when the You've Been Dumped video has to be finished, and then I switch to my serial killer vid for the remainder of the year. It's going to be my first serious project, as the other one I was going to do turned out to not be feasible (with Muvizu as it is now - the trouble I had with just 130 characters convinced me that animating a street full of cheering people while a funeral procession passes (drawn by horses) just wasn't going to happen! And that's just one scene out of half an hour...). So, it's on with "I Lived I Killed I Died" - and here's a little (censored!) preview of one of my character development shots...

Actually, the movie got renamed to just "Sammamish", so I thought I'd go back and update this entry to clarify. Lake Sammamish is famous for only one thing, unfortunately...

Ziggy and Jamie thanks for the suggestions, I'm getting quite a list. Looks like it'll be a long series.

I am working on the Arena at the moment and am working on crowd scenes trying a different method to both of the above from within Muvizu. We'll see how it turns out when it's been polished. I have a middle of the road laptop but Muvizu runs pretty well and with careful planning of the order I create and direct stuff I'm getting some pretty good pictures. Expect some herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain pretty soon.

Sorry Ziggy, I forgot to mention earlier, that screenshot looks really good.

I too try to keep things as "all Muvizu" as possible in my videos. Of course there are times when some "post processing magic" is appropriate for certain projects but for the most part keeping things as all Muvizu as possible is my preference.

And as much as my "kick ass" pc kicks my ass it's very enjoyable to do a little "ass kicking" back. Muvizu helps me do this quite well.

Message from ziggy72

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:12:25 GMT

Jamie, if there's one thing I've learned about Muvizu, it's this - Keep It Muvizu! As soon as you try to do stuff externally, even in brilliant programs like Vegas, things start to look wrong. The more you can do internally, the less hassle you'll have later. My audience is unwieldy yes, but they're done - no post production needed, and if I change anything it's no big problem since they're all there, ready to be manipulated as per whatever requirements I (or Thea) might have. Anyway, what's the point of having a kick-ass PC if you don't kick it's ass every now and then?

I guess it is a bit of a cheat if your aiming to do everything 100% Muvizu but I think it's more about the end result of the film, just my opinion and I'm not sure I'd be able to have 130 characters in a scene and animated. If I was to do it with green screen and shots going through the crowd I'd do layers of people with one camera path recorded. Each time you render out one row of the crowd on a green background and build up each rendered AVI post-process to get the camera movement and full crowd shots. I think the crowd scenes in Decca's drinking dilemma was done using green screen (maybe I'm wrong though?)

@ Dreeko - My machine has been pretty much maxed out by this scene. There is another 3 rows of seats behind the back wall which I had to abandon due to performance issues. It's actually alright if the lights aren't on, or you're not trying to animate anything...

I will consider it but the level of violence in that particular contest may be too much for some people.

Dragonton Arena is a new reality series made in Dragonton where viewers get to suggest the next contestant to go unarmed into the Arena to face the might and power of Slayer the Dragon.

Each episode features pre-match interviews and analysis from a panel of experts including Ref and The Executioner. All contestants will be fitted with a helmet camera to capture unrivalled footage of the pyrotechnic destruction.

The pilot is due to be released in June 2012 and suggestions for the first contestants are being taken now. Message my inbox with anyone you'd like to see take on Slayer.

Good God Zig! you must have an absolute beast of a machine if you can handle a crowd like that!. The audience I created for the first Dara O Briain clip caused my system to crawl slower than a snake with a broken arse! ..and the head count was far less than the cast you have employed!

I wondered where your serial killer project had gone. I'm working on a character who also has similar mental issues but my project takes a different slant on the subject than your own (comedy)

Must be an East Kilbride thing
