good looking plane interior Witchy! I can use that! Thanks for helping to make the forum such a fun and collaborative place!

I think that one of Muvizu's marketplace advantages is its large collection of free assets. I haven't found that to be the case with the other animating software I've bought. The extra content provides new users with so many directions to go that they can hit the ground running right away! Some users might never need to create their own assets since so many common elements are already available.

Thanks for helping to build our asset base!

It's a nice model Witchy but the windows should really be more oval-shaped because currently it looks more like a train interior.
The only airliner that I know of with square windows was the early De Havilland Comet and they started crashing due to metal fatigue at the window corners. They had to replace them with round ones.
There's a good storyline for someone though

This is a brilliant idea Rod. An english commentary for the video would be good too if that could be possible.

Thanks Rocque.
... I think Rods animated trick is especially handy in a cyclic motion.

...

I couldn't read all the menus, but am I correct in concluding that you created the animation by cycling through 3 textures, each of which only textured one of the wing positions, leaving the other two invisible?

yeah, Ikes.. it reminds me of your multiple jaws for T-Rex, and animating the visibility of each jaw.
(Speaking of which... did you ever make a tutorial on how you did that? If so, it needs to be archived in the WIKI so its easier to find....)


I'm guessing that both approaches would take about the same amount of work if animated on the Muvizu time line, although it looks like Rod found a way to loop the texture change in After Effects, which would make it easier.

Both approaches add huge new possibilities to create actions that will never exist in the Muvizu environment alone. My hat is off to both of you for your original thinking plus your willingness to share your ideas with others! That's part of what makes this a great forum!

Nice one Rod! Very cool trick to animate the texture.

Looks excellent! Surely thinking outside the box! I do have a problem viewing the flock of birds as seen in the video from youtube. Seems very dark and is not transparent at all. I did change the Defaultgame file line bstripvideoalpha from true to false, but no change. I can view other pics with transparencies, but not this one which appears to be an animated gif. ? Maybe someone could give me an idea to make this work right. thanks!

Clayster, I didn't recognize you because of your new icon (I guess I scanned right by your name) and thought this city was created by somebody else! It looks amazing.

I'll break it down to smaller scene sets, like the Burger Pot and the other buildings that have interior, then make a set for the 3D backdrops, then maybe take the rest of the buildings make sets for those, and then leave the streets in place and make it a layout set so everyone can place the buildings wherever they want....hmm let me think about this a little more!

regarding your cityscape:

My advice is to break it up into a bunch of smaller packages that people can arrange any way they want. At present it takes so long to load, very few people will be ABLE to use it. Even for those who get it opened once, they'll probably think twice about ever trying to open it again.

Most scenes require a more localized set... at most a double-sided street can be viewed at once. I think if you break it up unto street sets a lot more people will use it. You've put so much work into this it would be a shame if everybody can't use some part of it.

Hey Clayster... your new avatar isn't a cartoon! You look like Burt Reynolds!

(Does your girlfriend look like Loni Anderson?)

at last ...turned skype off and last 20% came in in seconds...don't know if that was slowing things down...going to explore now.

After adding some medieval sets (Various stuff and Furnitures), here is a new FREE one :



A toon biplane in two variants : with propellers ON and OFF

And please... Let me know what you think about it

Thanks Wabby. What sort of collision object did you make to enable the pilot to sit in the plane? Is it like a seat size block?

Great little set, awesome movie - so beautifully done, so well animated and constructed, just amazing. If you haven't watched it yet, get to it!

Yes everything thing you mentioned are the things I'm working on, the picture are just to show what I'm working on, not sure when it will be in the store but I'm hoping this will work out. I feel that this is something much needed!

Please, let me know what you think about it (technically and artistically).

Thanks for the kind words, Clayster! I've had several BIG learning curve breakthroughs in the past month... I still have a lot to learn, and my models still aren't to the point where I'd ask anybody to pay for them... but I'm getting closer.

I've been revisiting projects that were stalled because I didn't know how to proceed. (but now I do)

That's fantastic Pat,its seems your getting the nack for modeling

The piano is certainly very impressive, but a whole new hairstyle for Mandy seems like a newsworthy item all by itself! May I ask what program you used to create it?
