Looking great Jeff

which verision of quicktime do you have installed that might be the problem...just a thought

Will check tomorrrow looks interesting...might get 5 hours of sleep if XPwill close down quickly..

And you posted this fine example where??

Thanks Rodney..but stop encouraging me

looking through xtra cd great action with horse [attachmentid=16714] added the dog as a gag for someone at work dog and pony show theme horse.mov

if you are on a pc (and I guess some macs) you can watch this http://johnl.inform.net/images/convert.wmv

this is basically a couple of decals..one for displacement then one for color on a small grid. The other object is a prop from the cd and the sky is a rotoscope from the cd. [attachmentid=16577] I put the tgas not on the cd in the project file which is v13 [attachmentid=16578] Photoshop in fun to tinker with also adding toonshader version [attachmentid=16597] 2art.zip

Wow...Wow....

Interesting style I like it

finished playing with this one [attachmentid=16286] [attachmentid=16287] [attachmentid=16288] amultiex.mov amultiex.zip

[attachmentid=16272] beta13 project file [attachmentid=16273] Rotate and Translate multiex.mov multiex.zip

Right they refract differently one picks up the ground color because it has refraction the other does not without refraction mine was the same color too

I think you are seeing the refraction mixing the the color of the cube with the ground color. I did a quick render giving the model a slight blue color and got this with a higher refraction [attachmentid=16240] Notice the difference when not seen against the ground. Just guessing though and turned up lighting changed ground color [attachmentid=16241]

just playing with sweeper plug-in that comes with beta [attachmentid=16202] [attachmentid=16203] fun.mov fun.zip

I animated a simple distortion box on two simple models to see it this works in beta first shows boxes going over model [attachmentid=16200] the second is results [attachmentid=16201] you might want to move the slider to see the effect slowed down animdistortw.mov animdistort.mov

This is just a simple tube with a displacement material (spherical combiner) applied and animated to ascend Then a material effector with a glow material is sized and animated to follow the displacement [attachmentid=16197] Project file [attachmentid=16198] single frame [attachmentid=16199] matdis.mov matdis.zip

Did a quick material effector test [attachmentid=16173] project file [attachmentid=16174] mateffectbeta.mov mateffectorbeta.zip

Okay one last beta blobbie idea [attachmentid=16157] it needs some tweaking but its late so thats up to you [attachmentid=16158] blobtransfer.mov blobtransfer.zip

[attachmentid=16124][attachmentid=16125] Just trying sweeper with the Beta blocks.zip

talked with Gene and came up with this [attachmentid=16104] Sent him the project file displace.mov

here's another look with slighly modified model and a flare [attachmentid=16074] beta2b.mov

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...
