You are right! thank you and anyone else reading this will thank you too not sure what I did wrong when I tried it but you're answer I copied and pasted and It worked... now where's the bow tie

sorry for double post but found a way to sort of solve my example If(Round(ChorTime(),1)=1,ChorTime()*1000){,0})) but this is clumsy it now will return right value from .5 to 1.4 I think at least it starts and stops about there still looking for other ideas Haven't programed for awhile...getting to old for this...

nope ..systax error

Expression experts Was wondering if its possible to have a statement that says if (Chortime() >.5 and Chortime() I know this works If(ChorTime()>0.5,ChorTime()*1000){,0})) it passes the variable Chortime()*1000 after 15 frames which is .5 of 30 What I was thinking was lets say Thom is wearing a bowtie at frame 15 to 30 a good looking female thom goes by and therefore his bowtie spins I tried a number of combinations but get a syntax err Anyone know ?

Okay I downloaded the project called autosquash and modified it from here http://users.hol.gr/~sogou/animaster/expressions.htm I had the ball bounces with a rigid body simulation then had the x scaled to the y position in the simulation very simple but this was very easy 1express.mov

she's a good actor...I love the refrigerator with the magnets..reminds me of ours..looks pretty good to me so far....

read someones post about a teardrop and ran this test...think I set a few setting too high and the shape isn't quit right.. \ teardrop.mov

very hard to seee whats happening..overall looks good for a first run..though

Nice work

just in time for spring picnics...where's my can of Raid Nice ant ! johnl

got this idea today for a liquidy character put this together but its pretty rough yet and I have to get a slime trail to follow and get a better character the eye ball idea didn't work right and the action is too fast ...really should be working on the web page anyway but for now johnl3d newone.mov

Nicely done !

Okay I promise this is the last one...was playing with AE today and got this neat cell effect working so I added it to some layers in AM added the creature and got this. I turned off the volmetric light was getting extended render time too much for a fun project johnl comptreezcreature.mov

It seems to be the guy who thought he had this taken care of by some act of a doctor....but your right it does improve the look of the animation.. keep us smiling ..okay Vernon John http://johnl.inform.net/pages/vern1.htm

Thanks for the comments. I'll be posting the project when I finish cleaning up my website for now I add one last part to it ....any resemblance to anyone on the list was probably unintentional... abtreezcreature.mov

Great creature makes me itch a little..I hope he ends up with a role more than just lunch for the great bird of yours. johnl3d

the volumetric light does a lot for the creature thought I'd post another without the light thinking of adding some internal moving pieces atreezcreature.mov

Playing with Treez10.5 trying different setup and got this shape I thought would look interesting copy flipped and attached. Added 4 bones few constrains put in into a chor with volumetric light. Looks interetsing at least to me treezcreature.mov

Nice job Jeff !

Tried the 10.5 version with a sprite leave set of green feathers nice trunk maker picture with and without "leaves" Thanks johnl3d

Since space was the theme this month I decide to post what if I remember was my attempt earlier at a planet.. hade some ring work tp fix johnl3d

Well I played with the lightning and added some "lights" to it I set up a simple mocked city under the bolt and here is what I got Its not done but better lightninga.mov

working on an over head shot where lightning flashes across and down thought I's try using render as lines this is the first draft of that idea looking for suggestions the scene will also have storms clouds and rain lightning.mov

I posted thi in the ot section awhile ago www.FaceGen.com

My advise is to try to read all the posts..I would say list mail but not everyone has that now. I have tried to read every piece I could and download and save whatever sample projects models etc that people offered. You might think that something you read does not pertain to what your doing now but you might need it later. The other thing is to not be afraid to try to do something. Your computer will not explode if you goof up a project and usually you learn frm your mistakes. But of course you have to a general understanding of how everything works so yes read the manual , do the tuts. and have fun. I usually post simple projects so feel free to visit . Now I'll have to get links to all the version 10 to 11 projects I've posted that would help. old site http://www.geocities.com/johnl3d/ current site http://johnl.inform.net/ johnl3d latest tut posted http://johnl.inform.net/pages/toon.swf.html
