Not really much just threw some QT's in my V13 folder together and put them on youtube I could probably make it longer and better but this was a test edit: because Paul and Nancy asked I added music or go look at others http://www.youtube.com/TinkGnome if you go here I am not sure why the guitar movie is shown

read part three of my signature

Nice work Paul

I have 13t on my machine It seems to work fine with a qt ...did you check to see if the frame is changing under the image part of the decal in the chor...if that is the question-misbehaving decaltest.mov

explain misbehaving ...not working at all not sequencing ???

This should be at 100% for thewhole sequence the model is on the path. Peolple forget and usually set constraint at end or at least not at the beginning Hope this helps Also the ease is set to 0 at the beginning and 100 and the emd this in automatic but can be adjusted

Off the top of my head did you constrain him to the path at the beginning of the jump sequence check to see if the enforcement on the constraint is zero until he is done jumping and so he doesn't follow the path until the last frame of the jump

Okay I was in photoshop and decide to play with a few filters and got some interesting results that I saved. Now tonight I decide to add them to a couple of spheres and put them into an small animation. decal.mov Not sure what else to do with the "decals" so here they are with the project file v15alpha (testing it for volumetrics) decal.zip

You could after you scanned them in as a numbered sequence imported that sequence and convert it to a quicktime or whatever but there are other programs that would do that also.

Here is an quick sample of ways to texture left to right simple AM material scale and cell turb plated simbiot darktree material ...dinoskin or decal in this case same one applied twice once for color and once for slight displacement

Hopefully the experts around here can give you tips But decals can be used for bump and color

If you mean a rotoscope to aid you in modeling you can have more than one rotoscope and have them for each view

Caroline it worked for me on a PC see posting setting Keycolor

This is a visual tutorial Red ball with simple black and white decal Key color not set both colors show. Key color set to black, black portion does not show Key Color set to white, white color does not show This was done in v14a keycolor.mov

Are you intersted in using Hash materials or decals to texture?

do you mean an image on a single patch...have the patch constrained with aim at the camera

look at where you import the image and change the color from black to white or make an alpha channel to hide the white portion

since I am gathering info to read here is the pdf of the above posts weighing_cp.pdf

Here is a project where the first chor was used to generate a series of tgas ...(should have done 60 frames) The second chor uses those images as sprites which are animated...(but just for the second half because I only animated 30 frames) I had to specify the angle tp have the sprites drop correctly This is a little rough and had one sprite pop out in the back but you get the idea sprited.mov sprited.zip

For sprites you set the angle to specify and the what angle you want this is at the bottom of the screen grab then you can have it spin etc

if you think of the particle (sprite) as a picture you can rotate it say around the center of the picture is that what you mean ?... if you want a particle to flip like a playing card you have to have a animated particle. Here is what I mean flip.mov On the left by adjusting the angle I got the arrow particle to spin facing us the one on the right which is a tga sequence I made spins both ways

My only thought is to do the smoke on a separately then add later.

Nice Rat and the other characters, also nice web site.

you can add an image as a camera rotoscope or as David said add them to layers

Yes the cd must be in to start the p[rogram and can be removed after that...this is the copy protection you can download the latest version for 2007 ..14a and the newest alpha for next year 15 here http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showforum=2
