digitalqube Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I need to make a trafic light operational. I have the model created and all CPs in groups with materials applied. I'd like to have each of the three colors change from their "off" state to an "on" state. I think I can do this with poses, but I'm not sure how it's done. Quote
Caroline Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Hi, qube - I just saw your post - I missed it amidst all the festivities, I guess. How did you want the traffic light? With an actual light, or will it do with color? Have you done the TaoAM exercise 12 Lip Poses? You can create ON/OFF poses for color like this example: lights.mov by: 1. Right click in Traffic Light model window, and click New > Pose > On/Off. You then get a new window, and underneath Actions, you get a "Relationship: Short Cut to Traffic Light - Pose1". 2. Click the + next to this Relationship in the Actions section. 3. Next to Shortcut to Traffic Light you will see a red X on top of "Show more than drivers" icon. Click this. You will now be able to change the properties of the groups. If you have a group in your Traffic Light model for the Red light, you can change the color from, for example, brown to red. Like So: If you are very new to A:M, this might make no sense, so please let me know and I will amplify. With an actual light I can't help, as I am still coming to grips with them Quote
ArgleBargle Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Hi, qube - I just saw your post - I missed it amidst all the festivities, I guess. Well, darn, Caroline. Finally a question comes along that I can answer and you beat me to it. Good response. I've had some fun with flashing/blinking bits of models and it's not too hard to do. It's surprisingly satisfying to see working. Quote
Bruce Del Porte Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 I don't think you need lights, maybe just add some glow. One pose slider! clip project Quote
digitalqube Posted January 3, 2007 Author Posted January 3, 2007 I don't think you need lights, maybe just add some glow. One pose slider! clip project Thanks for all the help! I didnt expand the "show more than drivers" button before. The whole model was changing. It's all good now though. Quote
