patchimageand shag.mov

used this file as patch image to get this abstracttrial.mov project file abstracttrial.zip

Played a little with curve used as patch image and changed displacement over time curvetest.mov

Got this program free from SharewareOnSale Thought it might be on interest Called AbstractCurves

Redid all the poses for the Phoneme set and slightly modified the simple character Placed the dope sheet and adjusted positions in chor and rendered This turned out pretty good for a hour attempt simpleguyTALKS3.mov SIMPLETALKS3.prj Might try this to have him sing ...if I can get the right line

I tried using dope sheet but gave up for on that for now but did this with mouth poses and manual adjustment simpleguyTALKS1.mov

Used amplitude as rough test will try setting it up to use the standard set of mouth movement simpleguy.mov

Happy Birthday Jeff hope you see these wishes

Great series do you get any Pizza delivered to inspire you

This render is smaller so I can get a quick look at the results test2c.mov test2c.prj

made some changes and added Robert suggestion test2b.mov test2b.prj

Thanks for the idea Robert This is test 2 ...the ripple would be a good addition ..I also think I should shut off the shadow or at least change lighting a little test2.mov I embedded everything but not sure if the materials are saved test2.prj

Trying to get an effect with droplet rising out of pool of liquid needs a lot of tweaking and have to add the liquid part and slow down material etc etc test1.mov

Well the toon render worked will try regular render also ToJulia.mov regular a_julia_song.mov

Decided after playing around some more to try amplitude ... Not yet singing but talks great julia_guy_sings.mov

This is very rough never set up poses for speaking before will have to work on it or try amplitude for what I want to do. Will have to research the various poses needed julia_guyspeaktrial1.mov

Started on this tonight have basic character based on her picture for me Want to set it up for lipsync so it can sing to her julia_guy.mov

have not tried lip sync for awhile test.mov test.prj

tried loading a sound into project even tried one from data it does not play ....windows 10 issue?

I believe the issue is the lens flare ..when I change the light in the alien to lens flare I get the one showing in the middle where no flare should be.. no lens flare try just light doodle1.mov different lens flare then one in first post doodle2.mov I should try this without the swarm setup doodle3.mov 3 models on path ...not sure why it ends as it did doodle3.prj

Glad you see the same thing I do I might try it with different light settings later

doodle.mov just wondering why light in the center shows up since the other models have it inside the model to shine through the "glass" bodies doodle.prj

Curtain and window sill actually a photo of the window above my desk...shhh

Tried this free course https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/explore-animation/1/welcome last thing was to design a scene for a character I used some of the free models from the forum and came up with this

I see some glow on mine can you post what you are seeing....
