Tony Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 WAIT! Before you runoff! Don't leave the screeen blank, put a motion decal in it! Thats a GREAT idea John, Quick tell me...um *cough cough* ...Her... yeah thats it, her how to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 A motion decal---meaning just like a regular decal, but instead of one image you apply a sequence or a quicktime. The decal is applied just like a regular decal ( hide everything but the screen area...under images...import... find and import your jpeg, tga, or QTmovie... drag and drop it onto the model...A:M will ask if it is to be a decal or a rotoscope-choose decal... from the front view (2) position and apply by right-clicking and select APPLY. Unhide other geometry's.) Now, if you applied QTmovie or image sequence you can see it in action by rendering a movie of your TV... I usually like to program a little camera move to my tests so I can get the full 3D effect. Another trick I like to do when adding video to a TV screen...if you have After-effects or another compositor...is to add televised artifacts (static, vertical-hold scrolling, color shifting, dropouts...some of the younger hasher's may not know what any of these things are having-had cable all their lives...) The screen area should have hi- specularity with low spec size and a little (5-20%) reflectivity too... YOU ASKED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 John RULES!!!THanks for the in-depth explanation john. YOur too cool. Unfortunately I wont be able to do anything for quite some time as I am captivated by your newest avater. I cant seem to stop watching it, damn you and your avatar mind games john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted March 19, 2005 Admin Share Posted March 19, 2005 Sometimes decals aren't the only way to attack the idea. ...don't forget the power and simplicity of Patch Images. As long as you have a valid patch in the form of a rectangle you can Right Click and add an image or sequence of images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamagica Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 You can also achieve that effect in real life by hooking up your video cam to the TV and looking at yourself in it...it keeps on going and going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
