played around with expressions in beta [attachmentid=16019] [attachmentid=16020] [attachmentid=16021] Project file is just the rings beta2.mov beta2a.mov beta2.zip

I seem to be stuck on lights right now [attachmentid=16016] beta project models from cd [attachmentid=16017] Please fix animated sprites and boolean beta.mov beta1.zip

Great Model...

You are using 13 Alpha

[attachmentid=15964] [attachmentid=15966] [attachmentid=15965] [attachmentid=15967] darktree simbiot material not included projects 13alpha11 zap.mov zap1.mov zap.zip zap1.zip

hold off doing this in 13 there might be a problem I am reporting

not exactly a tut but http://johnl.inform.net/pages/boolmorph.htm also search here http://www.lowrestv.com/arm/

thanks Rodney.. Jeff I can get more detail when I have time..thanks

Just an old Gnome tinkering This is a bulb light set to be volumetric then rotated with the x and y scaled to 500% and z is scaled 0-15% with an expression [attachmentid=15848] [attachmentid=15849] done in 13 alpha oh the banding I believe is a current problem with volumetrics in the alpha ..thats it for tonight transrandomlight.mov transrandomlight.zip

Got this idea while driving home from work [attachmentid=15845] this was done in 13 alpha [attachmentid=15846] you'll need a couple of darktree materials you can get them for free here http://www.darksim.com/Repository/ and is you don't have 13 the free simbiont plugin(included in 13) to use them is linked here also lightss.mov lightss.zip

tried the model in 13 [attachmentid=15745] broken.mov

[attachmentid=15734] [attachmentid=15735] includes darktree underw.zip

Good start Here's a link to one of my earlier attempts http://johnl.inform.net/pages/test1.htm

Jeff Thought I saw you walking down Villard in the costume today..nice modeling as always. John

Dhar took your advice going outside looking at the birds really helped http://johnl.inform.net/images/birdwork.mov 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Gene Dave wake up Rodney ....you are in worse shape than I am No the modified blue pigeon is not my entry

I was reading all the trash talk on the image contest and thought since my modelin is poor why not use hynotic suggestion So a used an expression to move a "great mechanical models" and animated the dot material for the hypnotic effect [attachmentid=15654] just kidding of course mec.mov

thanks Dhar I have no room for projects either..must throw some on a cd/dvd and make more room

Was thinking of doing simple expresion tutorial with rotating blade and got off on a tangent [attachmentid=15600] v13 [attachmentid=15601] Maybe later express.mov express.zip

I have noticed that turning on collision detection with hair and it goes wild and thought .... it had been reported ....not the helps you but at least you are not alone

in the latest version of qt while mov is running click on view then click on loop I usually have to do it twice then when you stop it asks save and say yes then it loops....this is the free version of qt ..

Still think this was similar to method used in Killer Bean so not really my idea

[attachmentid=15531] project v12t [attachmentid=15532] did a quick tut will be in tutorial section for link Nice title John go to bed decal.mov posedecal.zip

project file v12 simple muzzle flash using group of model [attachmentid=15528] added sprite casing for extra effect [attachmentid=15527] remember this is just the idea muzzle.zip muzzle.mov

It will be invisible until you goto the model in the chor not in the model area but where it appears in the chor and then set the value back to 100% but so it does not change gradually change it to 0% the frame before to set a point before you change it to 100% then it will be 0% say from frame 1 to 15 at 16 it become visible

I could make a tut but its too late tonight here is a $1.98 sample done in v13 [attachmentid=15488] I used a pose to turn a cookie cutter map on by changing it from color at 0% to Cookie cutter at 100% The displacemnt and color map by changing the 100% of image from 0% to 100% Turned on the hair material emitter length from 0% to 100% All this with one on/off pose [attachmentid=15489] Could post a simple on/of color decal tut maybe later if there is interest or if Gene wants too .
