tubular.mov tubular.zip MOT at work stopping creativity but this 15 minute rough exercise escaped MOT = Mandatory OverTime

just a crazy idea you can select splines into a group and render them as lines then if you want add material to model with transparency and get something like this only better as I rushed this outlineguy.mov outlineguy.zip

Thanks ..sorry been busy at work so have very few creative brain cells left since this was posted...

I remember someone using it to control flower petals for a song by assigning letters for each note to a letter then doing a simple song were the dope sheet was the song in letters e.g e d c d e e e which then had the corresponding petal flex why the sound file played the tune

Thanks if you assign the material to a flat plane or a set of them you could get the enviromental effect you might like...on break at work now or could do a quick sample quick sample sheet.mov sheet.zip

tweaked some settings maybe too much magicvase_a.mov MAGICVASE_A.zip just a note only the material in animated the "vase" is nor moving or rotating

idea based on Rodney's comment if black hole flow threw this together 1st render magicvase.mov MAGICVASE.zip

played with this again still rough idea the gas clouds change maybe to slowly stars5.mov stars5.zip sped up the gas clouds a little stars5a.mov

not quite right first trial of gas clouds stars3.mov quick trial of another approach stars3a.mov

made it two layers stars2.mov stars2.zip

I thought why not an animated material ...here's a rough idea stars.mov modified cone with material on two groups inner and outer animated star.zip

I used an a group image applied it to 10 cube models pile 5 over 5 and got this notice placement of the blocks had to be quite exact

If there a program or method to extract the voice track or frequencies from say and mp3 or wav file audacity can remove most of voice but cannot fine the reverse ..yes I playing with amplitude again

what.mov can post the project tomorrow if anyone wants it the model was just a bunch of spheres to get general shape

I have found no real issues with 17 and it is faster

Hope I got his name correct oldburningplanet.mov oldmateffect.zip

did a quick shaded render bolt.mov bolt.zip sprite in zip

started with this radar.mov replaced material with render twice got this radar3.mov simbiot material Radar1arm.zip

Funny Rodney that someone who could be in the service as long as you would be frighten by any dream.....by the way thanks for the service

gatetest.mov gate.zip

booleantest.mov oops have material animated wrong direction ..will fix abooleantest.mov booleancuttertest.zip

sprites and animated material and a few constraints ribbon.mov ribbom.zip

That project was from 2006 ..

rodney.mov rodney.zip
