[attachmentid=20935] Just wanted to see if this would work the_abstract.mov

I pdf'ed the 2nd page and you can see the animation as your scroll

fixed it a little and added project file

Tweaked it a little [attachmentid=20810] Project file with darktree material [attachmentid=20811] In case you want to play change the materials in the gradient then render dray.mov dray.zip

trying to fake a piece os cloth being folded rough 1st attempt [attachmentid=20626] Project file [attachmentid=20627] comments ? ideas?? Just remember this was just roughing out the idea but you might have a better way faket.mov testfake.zip

Think???? Come Nancy this is a no brainer we don't want you using up your creatitivity thinking.....

It needed to be longer to loop properly but it was getting late [attachmentid=20610] [attachmentid=20611] project file does not contain the free darktree materials and the start pic is on the cd for darktree go here http://www.darksim.com/html/downloads.html sweep.mov 13sweep.zip

Whats nice about AM is there is always something to learn and try. If you are have trouble modeling then work on materials or read up on expressions or rigging there are lots of tutorials and maybe you'll find one you can do well then pick another etc etc. It can be fun and fustrating but occasionally you'll surprise yourself and others.

could be I'll try to zip just the model [attachmentid=20479] unzip and try to load one of these models or ask for a mac/pc helper Night needle.zip

Well I tried a needle freehand ...the one on the left Then tried a couple with sweeper the other two not great but free to tweak [attachmentid=20473] project has both and the setup used for the far right one after tweaking the path [attachmentid=20472] aneedle.zip

Set it up as an animated gif file and have it flash back and forth

Was mostly tweaking the character here, still not done, but I got her dressed for now as not to offend anyone Update [attachmentid=20361] Got to get working on the set for the first scene Later

Thanks for the suggestions I will consider them all when I dress her up and add the hair and accessories for this scene. And the scene might need some more detail.

I am trying to put together a simple animation. I posted this character a little while ago and asked about rigging it. Anyway I have it rigged enough to test a simple walk test. The character is far from done but just asking for comments so far, tried some simple dynamic constraints also. Thanks Johnl3d [attachmentid=20218] piga2.mov

send it steve

looks good it does

Trying out an idea straight from a comic like cartoon The old thought balloon in very very rough 3d manner lots of tweaking to be done This uses a animated sequence as a decal with two layers animated with displacement material You have to imagine it over a character head as he/she /it walks along Yes good or Huh what you thinking Thanks johnl3d oh its set to show double size so might look even rougher than it is if thats possible [attachmentid=19893] huh.mov

Have had little time on the computer lately to play and saw some talk on newton so tried a simple project from what I remembered about using it bowling ball amd glass container...use your imagination [attachmentid=19814] I put in a sprite emitter for some debris but at this resolution it hardly shows [attachmentid=19815] v13f newt.mov newt.zip

anazing to say the least

Did a simple sweeper test using a path, an outline to sweep and a model to duplicate [attachmentid=19655] swept the outline E shape then duplicated the screw 15 times and got this [attachmentid=19656] since all the screws were one sweeper object easy to color and the same for the outlined shape project v13e [attachmentid=19657] look at the placement of the swept objects...it does not matter where the path is but swept object will treat it as the base relating to 0,0,0 testsweep.zip

tutorials are good but finding by trial and error can be fun also

simple project with multiple views http://johnl.inform.net/pages/cameraview.htm

Anyway through these results togethr all are sweeper results with crazy shapes [attachmentid=19568] and project file ..pick path or circle then sweeper change numbers an see weird results [attachmentid=19569] Night dshape.zip

which version of AM...PC Or Mac... does version 29 freeze.

Look at the setting changes I made on the Project I posted I moved the material foward (offset in the z direction) so the red was on the outside. It has to do from what I remember on how the material was made, just know that is how it works
