This is the project file the image used is on the v12 cd but i'm pretty sure the project will load into 11 and you can just cancel on the image or use whatever castle.prj

found a floor plan on internet for castle simplified it a little in PS setup work path and exported as ai used ai wizard to import ai extruded twice (used sweeper but unnecessary) add image to group (whole castle) instant castle fast shot so scroll it manually this is just a rough idea probably would work better is done by sections castle.mov

Cutter made from a still of Ricky from xtra cd Project file should work in 11 or 12

Boolean cutter great for cartoon efects [attachmentid=14511] cutter.mov cutter.zip

Looks like it would make a good bugs head but there are lots of possibilities

Someone asked about sweeper and v12. I did three shapes and then rendered

the red tongue gets the bug leaving the wings to fall. no secret message in the petal shapes would have posted this project but the wing expression doesn't seem to save

quick idea...notice small problem with g++ forgot expression when project saved will have to check and report flower.mov

sprite is on cd for this one heart.prj

you said something about hearts etc here is a changing path with multiple emitters heart.mov

Nancy just a thought you know sprites can be animations also so there are some interesting possiblilities. Animated a model of water forming shapes or a shape and you could get interesting results on this example i used an image sequence for the sprites and same ones on a layer firesprites.mov

Nice cell phone Gene it animates okay too phone.mov

better sample of amplitude with same wave file but not that much better test.mov

here's the project file including the wav and action file noisefnt.zip

I tried to add something with an old program I purchased called amplitude it causes a pose to move to the sound amplitude of a wave file and creates an action. You can almost see the main water spout move to the wave file noisefnt.mov

heres what i threw together sprite is on cd fnt.prj

really rough only had about 45minutes fnt.mov

Ok here is the project it includes even the wav file 12V_g Nancy it might work in 11.1 so you don't have to get a newer version candygram.zip

I did this before but I guess it was not clear hope this helps ...oh by the way the other method mentioned here should also work I just like playing with the gradient combiner second example it shows my age again this is a rough idea Nancy I "shill" thing you do great work even if you do not upgrade I still have not received my comission check for your last upgrade candygram.mov

project file 12g fadeaway.zip

I saw this asked here quick example model from xtra cd decal on fading card just substitute your brain for the one there ask questions or tell me in I misunderstood or if fade is too quick Basically used gradient combiner to make card transparent with a pose another pigeon brained idea from the tinkering gnome very quick hand scroll to see it better fadeaway.mov

sprite on cd v12f tunnel.prj

rough idea just doodling tunnel.mov

varied randomness color and position with pose slider rline.prj

tried render as lines seems to work fine v12F rline.mov
