Don't remember any setting for toon render other than turning it on with whatever other I had

okay here's a tree [attachmentid=13791]

Very nice !!!

change decal type from color to cookiecutter

simplified an early test and tried default toon render on the sweeper plants [attachmentid=13755] Project file [attachmentid=13757] a13v5.zip

Tried a quick plant test as in the demo 20 minutes to model and render stem, leaves,and flowers each done in separate pass with sweeper added some random darktree material rendered [attachmentid=13717]

forgot about sweeper [attachmentid=13690] swept in 12 rendered in 13 [attachmentid=13691] sweep.zip

Was setting up an idea in v13 and got side tracked Maybe I need some sleep..sorry [attachmentid=13652] 13alpha [attachmentid=13653] forgot to mention nothing moves but the material...two used here tank.mov tank.zip

Dan. Took your image into photoshop and increased the size. (used 1st frame of animated gif) then adjusted the levels to get the lines black. Selected the white area then inversed the selection . Went to path and selected make work path. Exported path to ai file. Used wizard in AM to import. Can be used for any shape that you can select in photo shop. http://johnl.inform.net/pages/kenny.htm http://johnl.inform.net/pages/pretend.htm

I understand how he did it I am doing things in a similar manner but I added bones to the cord because I want to animate it later so I made the cord a straight extrusion and added bones then for my display made a quick pose and arrange the cord also was trying some textures the box should be easy Thanks

tried a darktree in v13 worked fine [attachmentid=13547] might try a few more v13darktree.mov

Charlie those modelers are just show offs....Just kidding Enviously must say a nice model now we need it animated [attachmentid=13550] My effort for Dan dan.zip

snowed tonight so after some exercise (shoveling) was doodling with PS and made a weird sprite . here is the result [attachmentid=13498] oh the project file and sprite [attachmentid=13499] v13sprite.mov v13sprite.zip

I know just practicing in 13 model not that important...looking for problems and training myself at the same time

update [attachmentid=13465] hmm noticed the 13 did not save all material correctly wood changed

Interesting characters

two materials translate y and rotate y over time [attachmentid=13400] had to render something while watching the news [attachmentid=13401] again.mov v13again.zip

I'm not sure why you set up the models the way you did and why you have the material added once in the model area and again in the chor. Also having a group the same as the whole model. Seems to me like a lot of extra work. Anyway I did a quick fix and it should work now but I only rendered a few frames at the points you had the parts disappear ..edit --hopefully I do not sound like I'm being negative above ...just confused by the way it was setup renamed it with an a_ in front [attachmentid=13397] My site Sir Rodney was refering to is: http://johnl.inform.net/ also check : http://www.lowrestv.com/arm/ A_Mitosis.zip

the shadows are just the color version of the Diplacement Material... A material in applied twice once as displacement and once as color but with the color changing over time as does the diplacement material really easy to do oh I was trying for a burnt marshmallow but ran out if time...I usually don't spend a lot of time testing these ideas you usually see the first render

20 minutes of intense rendering....not whole project maybe [attachmentid=13302] This new displacement is great [attachmentid=13303] this is only 15 frames so scroll to see effect burnt.mov burnt.zip

Eric have you been hanging around with Mike K Jeff it was actually pretty quick I think about 5sec a frame but I'm only using one pass

tried a simple hair tree [attachmentid=13264] project file included decal and hair image [attachmentid=13265] Sorry to post so much tonight I guess I'm coming out of my "brain fart" old guy hair.mov v13hair.zip

This is 32 patch sphere off the cd simple material animated used as displacement map and color map [attachmentid=13262] Project file [attachmentid=13263] v13displace.mov displacetest.zip
