you should do this type of stuff all the time...oh yeah you are now...nice !

Where are we emailing these to?

great character and animation

can the render be tweaked with say photoshop or is htis straight AM...having bizzare idea

sorry dave just clearing the pod bay.....nice

The pose sliders were to make each model become transparent . The sprites emission percent is as Nancy said the way to turn that on and off. And by adjusting the life of the sprites you can make them end when you want them to etc

The trouble with your two qts is the one of the vase never stops sending sprites so we do not see that sequence stopping and the letters start with the sprites already hitting the lettering and extending to the left side.. you need both sequences to "throw" a group from it to the object to the opposite side. vase throw to the right letters to the left then reverse letter sequences now from vase sprites go toward the letters then the sprites cross into the letter sequence and flow into the letters simple sample using the apple to orange idea watch the group of sprites transfer.mov I did this simple example in the project without the reverse sequence move because movement was just left to right ..also fade is not too fancy but what time allowed project file does not have sprite image that is in v15 data transfer.zip

possible solution form.mov form.zip ask if you have questions ...sprite in data with v15

All I can say is Aaaaaargh which I think is pirate speak for great job

It use to be used more not sure why it stopped. a lot of people just stay hidden because being contacted in the middle of something can cause problems. It has always worked on my pc not sure if there is a problem with macs

chor....dynamics...force....-100% in Y standard gravity the will effect particles as sprites streak etc adjustable as needed.... need particles to fly right to left gravity -100% in X 0 in Y and Z etc etc this is added to initial velocity and effect by drag..etc on material setting

you could use the " old hair" shift click when picking hair

if you use the search option on the top right of forum click on more search options yo can find plenty of info usually here is my 1.98 example streaks.mov streaks.zip I turned off gravity in the chor ..made model with emitter group ... put together streak material...( particles straeks) ..selected color etc then adjust size for effect ...animated model....streak output could be controled by pose either on /off or % only had a few minutes leaving for work

streaks

I did not see anything obvious but the master bone on the flower model was quite large as if you started large then went to smaller modeling. I played with the project a lttle and added a pose to control the petals just for fun and an action for one of the flowers to misbehave and a camera path etc here's what I got also renamed and zipped the project vase.mov ALesson_9_Flower_Power6.zip

they are text files you did nothing wrong but you should embed the models in the project file..easiest way right click on top of project and select embed

see if this is close http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35202

try setting the ambience level high the will look like it glowing and you can even choose the color http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35203 see if this helps

Nicely done Vern I did something like that awhile ago with some worm segments dred.mov dred.zip

go for it Vern that was my next idea

Not bad Rodney you just need a pose to turn it on/off on cue

here's a possible simple solution or really a rough start in one possible direction weapontrail.mov weapontrail.zip pose controls " trail" another idea would be a dynamic hair image turned on and off by pose On both questions also look at Rodney's idea it is partially done here

here is another example using the basic blur sprite trail2.mov trail2.zip different sprites could give different results this is just another way to get the effect

I did a simple sample with streaks set up a pose to control them I started at the beginning and then stopped at the end by controling rate of emission trail1.mov trail1.zip this is one way

Great detail
