Nice work...the only thing that seemed out of place in the early stuff was the red cloth cape coming through the character.. The creatures set is awesome

also make sure the light is not behind a patch

got black screen after waiting

NIce idea and modeling I could almost hear the sound it would make

I have run into a snag using booleans in v13 so tested again in v12. The cutter was a quick illustrator path of text and then imported into AM a little too jaggy but I was only testing The blue behind the hole was from a volumetric light .My favorite use of booleans was this http://johnl.inform.net/pages/boolmorph.htm

wanted to make sure boolean worked in v12 [attachmentid=16985] 12v+ [attachmentid=16986] cutter a little rough but it is a trial it look pretty dark this size too ..oh well bool.mov bool.zip

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

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
