johnl3d

its getting late but use the search in the upper right use more search options then search on johnl3d and key word material or whatever there are a lot of good material artists on the forum I just play ...tinker ...and post questions can be post in tinkering gnome workshop

Spleen animating material is easy its the modeling ,rigging, and animating thats hard you can do a search on the forum for more of my stuff but be careful I post almost daily you can also check out my blog listed below which has a tutorial on material

one last attempt rock3.mov rock3.zip

here is another using a darktree simbiot material rock0.mov project file includes the darktree rock0.zip

put this together a little rough rock1.mov rock1.zip

Sorry to hear you are have a problem I meant to post this earlier but had to leave for work this turns on in 10 frames then stops again fluidstartstop.mov fluidstart.zip

emission rate to 0 till frame you want it to stop be sure to set frae before to 0 also

When you say material there are decals or the various combiners etc readily availlable in the Hash library by adjusting the settings you can get a variety of results http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33985

after importing the sequence you apply as a decal the first image in the chor/action the sequence should change per frame

Rodney I already sent you the fan club card but I did post some snow stuff so you are correct

this is from my old web page it shows one camera used for multiple views cameraview.mov cameraview.zip

Eric do a search on the forum on fountain there were some examples earlier even some just with sprites that looked pretty good

Nice work Matt

you can use an expression to turn model active on or off with if statement here is an example this one with flare inside model that shows when model goes transparent and the other with just the on /off flicker the amount of flicker can be controled by changing the value in the pose used to add the expression on/off flash.mov flashnolight.mov v15d project flash.zip

Fantastic modeling and rigging

Reminds me of the sausage races they have at the Brewers games in Milwaukee. They have actual costumed characters racing but have an animation that can run on the scoreboard also

if they are rigged the same.... in the shortcut to the model in the chor click by the name of your model and you should see a list of all the other models in the project that can be substituted..... even the ground plane which of course wil not animate the same way ..so as I said if they are rigged the same

Not sure if this will help just a quick idea its quick so scroll it manually to get the idea....action applied to model ...in front of a light shadow.mov shadow.prj

Sorry for not putting an explaination with the project...I always assume too much but it give Rodney something to do .....(just Kidding)

I used one camera and moved it after setting it at the beginning and end of each period the same CAMOVE.mov CAM_OVE.prj

gradient would do this too just set up hose as straght when setting up pose hoses.mov hose.prj

Excellent work Caroline that took a lot of effort thank you

how about a little fog yard.mov yard.prj

Looks Great

Okay Rodney here are two other ideas....remove the rabbit....actually delete groups and setup like the ice Or idea as originally asked added a little roughness to ice setup with was applied to a grid that as simcloth was dropped on the vehicle then simcloth material removed ..not really necesaary ...slightly adjusted and we get this
