[v13.0 Alpha 9]

error on ImageIO render, Avi

[*UPDATE on Page 2* Facial rig test]

This model comes from Messiah:Animate , it's intended to expose muscular bones,

I didn't really understand the difference between bone and Mbone but I think its in

the way the bone squatches and streches regarding the movement of another bone.

Remember in AM there is a constraint that is named Constraint to path, and another that is "translate to". If one is able to make a standard face rig that would be realistic enough then any set of face poses would be transferable to any character I think.

well I am very busy with a website now but when I'll be done , probably in two weeks I'll give a try back to A:M with a 2002 model of mine, that was a fish with a very expressive face and big lips.

 

I think this can be done only using bones poses and constraints.

[Good RAM player]

I didn't even know A:M has this possibility,

I knew that Virtualdub was able to load a sequence of bmp, jpg, tga and compile them into an avi, for the options I am not sure.

Otherwise I would have used JPg to Avi or Premiere simply but premiere is so heavy now, for example if you make a 3000 frames animation, you will really regret to use it otherwise use a P4 3.4 with one ton of RAM.

 

thanks for the info I'll try AM ram player

Well, I don't know if one was amazed by the rendering of the martian head(excuse my poor english I write from france) but besides the animation and cute character it was really well lit, really cool.

 

I don't know how you setup lights for such a result but that's really impressive,

kind of Pixar styled lighting.

 

Regarding the mouth, I tried many techniques before I saw messiah animator

and their flexbones as well as painted weights in Ma...a.

I got a look at messiah:animate samples on PMG website and it was my only source for making a fish character in 2002, but I didn't go really far at that time due to many...things of life.

 

Oh congratulations for being a new father Mr Navone, that's a great moment

that balances positively all the worst things in this world.

 

again thanks for your kind and joyfullness Mr navone, as well as for your alien song
