[Cloud fly-thru]

The popping you see after you turn the sprite system off is the sprites that still need to be generated to fulfill the emission rate.

 

But if the emission rate is zero, what is it trying to fulfill?

 

 

If the rate of emissions is 1000 and you turn it off, before it finished that 1000, I believe it will continue the emission until it is completed.

[How do control where Baked Surface Decals get saved to?]

It saves it to where the project file is saved, not the model file (models can be embedded). If there is no project saved, it goes to the library folder. I guess Steffen figured that was the best place.

When I did the clouds for TWO I had a popping issue as well. The popping is the sprite when it's being emitted. What I did was to set the opacity at birth so it was transparent and gradually increased it til it was at the opacity I wanted.

I like that cellular one!!!

Robert, couldn't you use just one plane? Animate the plane and maybe material and use motion blur.

[Copying bone movement...]

You either have to give the second bone an exaggerated offset, in the constraint, so it is in the position you want when the dynamics are ON or you need to constrain the second bone in an action or chor, so the enforcement of the constraint is set to 100% (with compensation) after the dynamic bone has settled (enforcement is 0% til dynamics are settled).

 

Hope that makes sense.

[played with some simbiot materials]

I like the first one.

[Timeline disappeared!!!!]

You were in negative frames/timeline.

[Worm!]

Cool!

[Curl!]

Very nice! I was stumped on how you did that as well.

[Two Birthdays!]

Thanks again guys!

[Happy birthday]

Thanks guys!

Happy Easter!

[Two Birthdays!]

Thanks guys!

 

Happy Birthday, Paul!

[Lighting Tests]

If you set the box to flat shaded it will not be lit by any lights in the scene. To me, it looks as if the box is being lit up, which is causing the image being projected on it to be brighter.

[Lighting Tests]

Creepy looking, cool!

 

As for the bright area above the building, did you set the front projection box to flat shaded?

[Audi Model WIP.]

Looking good Mike!

 

Glad to see you around here again.

[Lighting Tests]

Nice tests.

 

The hand looks pretty cool. I'd like to see how that looks on a full model.

[A few bones missing while using mirrorbones]

Ok, you don't see the differences in the settings?

 

You need to use a capital "R" in right and a capital "L" in left. Also, the tolerences are set to .1, not .01.

[A few bones missing while using mirrorbones]

After looking at the installer you posted, after running the plugin, I can see you are not using the correct settings in the plugin dialog.

[A few bones missing while using mirrorbones]

What bones and targets are missing?

 

Can you post a screen grab of your setting in the mirrirbones plugin?

[A few bones missing while using mirrorbones]

Your model is not centered on the X axis. I selected the whole mesh and moved it til the center spline was at 0 on the X axis, then the plugin worked just fine.

[Nidaros Cathedral]

Looks great, Stian!!

[Help Wanted: TAR of Zandoria]

Congratulations Will!!

[Questions about bones in the TSM2 rig]

I'll also add that the 2 bone setup allows the arm to stretch. The bones are not scaled to stretch the limbs, the second bone is translated in the Z axis to lengthen the arms. This also goes for the legs and spine.
