not sure if this is close but here is one attempt http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35914

any hints of what it should appears as...pretty broad description

for crumbled material I used the default but scaled it up 500%

using the cloth sim idea then saving chor as model and playing around a little rough idea with crumble material paperb.zip edit I think this was the project sometimes I do not save the middle steps paper.zip

crumpled how much ...flat or in a ball

Nice image love the whales

Gene will have guitar playing fly in his next animation

Great idea love the style !!

Gene do you ever sleep ?...keep up the good work

easiest would be in and audio editor ...free editor http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

great modeling

great character

If you have a sound file that you would like converted to an action post it here and I will convert it for you just tell me the name of the pose it will control along with the wave file

The program I used to animate per the sound was a program called Amplitude which I purchased awhile back from an AM user: unfortunately he has disappeared along with the program so it is no longer available. You picked a pose on the model and a wave file then played the wave file in the program and it animated the pose based on the volume (amplitude) of the wave file and saved it as an action Matt I have used the idea on a few characters using the idea for the mouth and head on the one below

there should be one pose in the sphere An action was made by a program no longer available that controls the slider but it could be set manually look at the sphere and in the user properties you will find a pose called color that was set to display a different color at 0,20,40,60,80 ,100% and squash the sphere...should mention it shows a color all along combining the adjacent colors

I did a simple sphere with a pose that changed color over the pose and the shape then made an action using the I got a secret wave in the tuts folder and got this. The action changes the pose based on volume of the sound ctalk.mov talking.zip

Nice Image

I made an action that rotates all four wheels over forty frames. I had three of the wheel bones orient themselves with a constraint to the 4th wheel bone then set the action to rotate the 4th wheel bone and the others followed. Hope this helps cat_roll.zip

Gene Gene the Modeling Machine

THe idea and the model are an act of genius...the possibilities are endless

there was quite awhile ago a small program that would track mouse mileage...not sure it was in windows or on my amiga googled this http://www.brothersoft.com/mouse-odometer-61548.html

Great leaves Gene Here's what I came up with as a leave material applied to a sphere with fall color change leaves.mov leaves.zip

you can make a leave material with using a combiner and having on "color"transparent real early attempt http://www.geocities.com/johnl3d/anim4.htm will try to post tomorrow a better sample

Be Careful with Nancy here is a link to some of her early work http://trailers.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/...9_cinematic.mov You'll see the characters at the end definitely Nancy's style
