MAC Address Spoofing on Windows 10 We have a page dedicated to this information on Anizu: http://www.anizu.uk/muvizuactivation
Helpful if your old computer breaks or you want to move your copy of Muvizu between computers while the licencing server is down.

Moving forward Great to hear from you Artpen!

Unfortunately I no longer have enough time to keep pumping out videos, but I love seeing those silly little sketches and it would be great to see more!

This seems like an appropriate video...


It looks like the Muvizu gallery isn't currently working since videos would likely need approval, but you can always upload to the Anizu gallery in the meantime: http://www.anizu.uk/gallery

Some news on Meshmellow's progress Here's what they wrote in a Facebook post on 1st October:

"Hi Everyone. We are pleased to announce that the company Meshmellow has acquired all Digimania assets and software. You may have noticed that the Muvizu.com website is now back in action. We are currently working on the licensing system and will report back when we have found a solution.Meshmellow is a Hong Kong registered company with development offices in Shanghai. We will endeavor to continue the development of Muvizu and hope you will support us along the way. As you can appreciate Muvizu is a complex software and please bare with us whilst our team settle into the code."

Unlimited licencing question There's no expiration date but your licence has a hard limit of 10 activations. (This includes any attempts which come up with error codes)
After the 10th activation attempt, you will get error W2 which you can't fix.
If you re-install Muvizu on your computer at any point, remember to transfer the "licence" folder found in "muvizugame" in the main Muvizu install folder. This won't count against your activation attempts but will only work on the computer where the licence was originally activated.

People are asking for that limit of 10 to be removed so they can install to any new computers they get in the future. The administrators won't be reading these comments and it's up to whoever buys the company. They may well continue selling licences as it was before.

Muvizu now importing models more cleanly If you don't have it already, here is a .ase exporter plugin for Sketchup 2017 which makes the collision very small to stop objects bumping into each other: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-_4UVPr59ACQldMOW1qMEdsZ2c (It's a bit of a bodge of the older exporter, and I plan to re-enable the option to let Muvizu make a collision mesh when I next find time)

The latest version of Muvizu (March 2017) does support .obj files, although they're less reliable than .fbx from what I've heard. I doubt that Muvizu will have the ability to import .skp files in the future.

Thanks for the tip, MrDrWho13! Is the rationale for installing a second copy of muvizu on the same computer -- under a different name -- in case one version gets corrupt?

It's long standing advice from the forum because, in the past, new versions have had severe bugs so it was always best to install a second version to test out before upgrading.

I have my license key, but am unsure how to safely reinstall muvizu. Do I go to my downloads file on my hard drive and reactivate my original install? If I understand correctly, it's not a question of doing an update, but of using my original license key to install from scratch. Should I delete the program from my hard drive before reinstalling from the downloads area?

Thanks for any tips!

Hi
As Pat said, we wouldn't like you to lose your copy of Muvizu from a re-install. However, if you did want to re-install but keep your licence, you should be able to copy the licence file over with no problems.
First you should install another copy of Muvizu under a different name (An option will come up near the start of the installation process). The default is Muvizu Play. In the old Muvizu install folder, you should see another folder named MuvizuGame. Inside the the MuvizuGame folder, you will find a Licence folder which you can copy and paste into the new Muvizu folder.
I've tried this a couple of times and it seems to work just fine as long as it's on the same computer as the original copy of Muvizu.

Update from 2017.03.31 ? Ok I've just been through the installers and the latest version which retains the features is 1.6 patch 3 (17th November 2015).
It seems they locked it down at the start of 2016.
Here's a link to that release: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-_4UVPr59ACVFB6S3ZJSUczcVk
Although you might just want to stick with the one you have because I'm not sure there were any improvements between these versions. You can see the changelogs here: http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/50/muvizuplay-release-history

Update from 2017.03.31 ? Do you know which version you currently have? (You can find it by going to the question mark menu in the top right then "about Muvizu" - the release date would be useful)

@rogdodge Is your 2015 copy play+?

It is the trial version. Normal Muvizu Play.
Might it be because I included an object I had created, namely a poster on the wall. I think it was a .jpg. Not sure how I did it now. I have also noticed many of the objects, characters etc available in 2015 are not available in this update but only for Play+. This might also explain why I cannot load the clip. Perhaps I have made a mistake and that 2017 is a more limited trial than 2015.
Thank you, MrDrWho13

Yeah you're right. I'm not sure exactly when it happened but at some point they locked down the free version to only the bare minimum to force people to buy the new version. I'll have a look through my installers to see if there is a newer one which retains the standard features in the free version.

Import object from another set Hi
You should be able to add it to your favourites by right clicking the ball then clicking edit.
Next, open the scene that you would like to put the ball in, and go to create-->objects then find the favourites tab (I think it's at the top)

Direct eye lasers First you need to turn it on by right clicking the character, going to the effects section on the left, then selecting the laser eyes thing.
Next, you want to enable it to be animated in the "prepare character properties" menu. You'll want the "enable" option. Then you can click "switch to direct" and direct it similarly to the other things in Muvizu.

This guide explains it better: http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/83/directing-character-properties

Sketchup to Muvizu Hey guys,
I know the old ZiggyMesh exporter doesn't work with Sketchup 2017, so I modified the existing Muvizu .ase Sketchup exporter to export with this "matchbox" collision.
Here's the link to the new version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-_4UVPr59ACQldMOW1qMEdsZ2c (Compatible with Sketchup 2014+, just go to Window -> Extension Manager -> Install Extension and choose this file)
I plan to re-enable the option to export with no collision so that Muvizu generates its own.

To answer Drewi, this application is part of the last update of windows 10, just open paint net and click on the icon (paint net 3D).


Interesting. I just looked at both of my windows 10 computers, and neither of them has this program. Is it necessary to download and install PAINT.NET in order for the windows update to include this?


Hi pat, it's not related to paint.net. Microsoft have halted the rollout of the newest version of Windows 10 because there are a few bugs (mostly related to old hardware). You can force the update by going to the update section of the windows 10 settings menu.

Thanks for the update.

I already have a copy of the application (downloaded it a few days ago).

My question is, can I still purchase a license with no problem (not receiving serial key)?

I was about to purchase til I saw this announcement.


If you try to buy it, it will say "purchasing has been temporarily suspended" so you can't buy it.

Let me say first of all that I was shocked to learn about Muvizu, and that I'm sorry for the Muvizu users. Muvizu wasn't for me, but I always considered it a sympathetic product. Hopefully a buyer can be found and so that the product will continue.
So while I understand you are upset, why trash other products? iClone users like myself have feelings too. In the hands of a talented person iClone is very capable and it is continuously improving, but it's different from Muvizu, which is only a good thing. I don't believe in animation having to look a particular way. Diversity is the key.

I'm not sure he was completely trashing iClone. However, Muvizu almost forces you to give the characters a bit of "personality" - taking some of the control away from the user as a way to make the whole film-making process simpler and faster.
With iClone, you have to manually add the elements of emotion. I agree with you that there always needs to be diversity. Neither product could have got this far if it were just a clone of something else.
