some simbiot textures are animated and wil move...water... others stay put here is a techoborg simbiot material on a .05 dino animated rough;y to stretch some areas borg.mov

very nice ...if your not talented enough to model..thats me... you can get some flat models easily if you have photoshop you make a path around the shape/character you want then export it as an illustrator file and paste the original on as a decal I think there is a tut by Gene explaining how here is the imported illustrator file model without the decal pnemo.mov pnemo1.mov another kenny.mov

as stated 30 per sec so for a 1 minute animation you need 60 x 30 frames or 1800 frames

you don't add a picture to the material you apply it as a decal to the model then change the type to what you need color bump displacement

No heresy Caroline I just did not have any decals handy for a quick tut..once again very good and yes Rusty has a very good tut

This picture of pws shows the same material applied to three balls. one as just color. two as just displacement. three with same material applied twice once as color and once as diplacement ball one on left ball two on right ball three in front project filetut.zip end of tut for materials

Any material applied or decal applied can be use to make bump/displacement setting on a model by changing the type of decal or adjusting the material settings think white up black down.

Caroline actuallly taught me all I know ...Nice job oh Master

Paul ... Nancy is using a version even older than mine mine7.3.1 hera 7.1.6

Paul I'm using QT 7.3.1 sorenson3 on a PC...anyone else having problems??

made another 1.98 model this time of a rabbit and did a quick action combined with some chor action which I recorded with a black background with the alpha buffer turned on to get a series of tgas use the series as the sprite image this is the results ... bunnyanimated.mov Not really great but at least the animated sprites worked

this usually works ............. types of compression to be used animation

Mentor is that something like a crazy person....

with the extra income we can retire and provide more insrtant help for the youngsters among us...and send Nancy on more safaris

Eric you set the pose parameters in the action area the relation for the pose will show up in the action area of the pws and thats where you made the adjustments project file and example http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...555&hl=pose
