Smeagol, here is a sample .An8 project: http://multiterra.mooload.com/file.php?file=files/040506/1146775181/Terrain+Sample.rar The texture settings are as good as I could get them in this project. I don't exactly know how each setting works, so it might not look it's best P.S. MIMO, we will probably do something like Sunflash (AKA Andrew Craswell) for example. I think it will look fine. We don't want people to think that this is some corporation making this film, we just want to show the power of Anim8or... and have some fun [This message has been edited by Sunflash (edited 05-04-2006).] [This message has been edited by Sunflash (edited 05-04-2006).] IP: Logged |

Oh yeah, and about those images, I like the nospec.jpg one the best, considering that it's supposed to be a dark forest. It just gives you the right feeling. [This message has been edited by Sunflash (edited 05-04-2006).] IP: Logged |

we can record the dialog all at one time.How do you ask....Well Iam glad you aked me how. So let me tell you... We can use Yahoo IM .we can use the phone line it offers for free and I can record it live via a software proggy i have. The hard thing we will need to do is determine what time this can be done. Because we all live in diffrent time zones....thats the only draw back to this...But I think it would be the best way ...that way the script is read in a natural way and there are no gaps in the lines..and we can hear each emtion the other acts out and then responed to the line better..whatcha think?????

I don't know if it's possible, but can you apply animated textures (images that contain frames/animated .GIF files/multiple images). But if it is, then here's a texture we can use. Here's a download link to the texture, and a sample .EXE of it being animated. http://multiterra.mooload.com/file.php?file=files/050506/1146811690/Water+Sample.rar IP: Logged |

Anim8or doesn't support anim8ed textures but they can be imitated... but it's veeery hard. [This message has been edited by Mr.Smeagol (edited 05-05-2006).] IP: Logged |

i recently found on DAZ a model for a fairytale tower - its for free this week. If someone of you knows how to work with DAZ and can import the model to anim8or, here is the link: http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=4154 maybe it could be of use for the movie. IP: Logged |

lol yup sry about that mr.smeagel but ur bump was better than wat i was using anyway. IP: Logged |

Mr.Smeagol Junior Member |
no problem madcrazy it only took me 20 seconds (or less) to make that texture... ![]() Startrekfan - I don't think we should use other peaple models - we should have everything we have original And Startrekfan heve you seen the video tutorial I made for you on that bridge ?
quote: That's why we agreed that credits would be 3D anim8ed and cool looking ![]() And that's the sam texture you gave it to me already - it looks fine from normal distance but it looks blury only on totaly close (as in the screenshot I made) - but we are gonna have the scene setup like that - from close - in real proportions... Can T.Ed export that texture in higher res maybe? [This message has been edited by Mr.Smeagol (edited 05-05-2006).] IP: Logged |

Hmm. Thats pretty sad how some people are closed minded. If recording sound thru Yahoo IM wouldnt work then I wouldnt of said anything. Dont say something wont work unless you have tried to see if it realy doesnt. No matter how the sound is recorded it will still need to be put thru filters. I assume that most people doing voice overs are useing a realy cheap mic.(thats fine).So the quality will be lacking.(Thats fine too.Those of us who know something about sound can fix that). I have been working with PC based sound/music for a LONG time. So when I say something about sound you can beat it can be done or I have been there and done that... Mr.Smeagol, I wont be around for awhile so.Good luck with the movie.I have to get my clients project complete. You can go here if you want and see my first job. www.commlogix.com .hes the little guy on the front page. His name is Moe . Animated textures are easy when you use terranim8or.its a little more work but they can also be assign to a mesh too. MP3D

quote: Yeah, you can do it any size you want (within resenable limits). But everytime I export the texture, it makes it the same Res. Odd. I'll look into it. Does anyone know whee I can find a download to Tarrenim8or or watever it's called? If I can get it, then I'll look into the water texture for the river. EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Now I have to learn how to use it [This message has been edited by Sunflash (edited 05-05-2006).] IP: Logged |

quote: Sorry MP3D, but I am not being "Closed Minded" just honest. Yes their mic's will create a reduction in quality but so will sending it via Yahoo IM and so doubling the problem. Also there is the problem with time delay and trying to get everyone running at exactly the same time, it just won't happen. Let me put it this way... How do you think the proffesional actors do it, they do it one scene at a time and then the audio man cuts and splices the audio into a collaborative sequence (half of the time the person they are supposed to be talking to isn't even there). The only way you can convince me that the idea will work is to prove it, after all I have heard recordings of people chatting using yahoo IM and similar devices and they are audibul but no where near the quality required for what we need. Why spend all the time getting the best animation we can only to ruin it with a mediocre audio track. It would be great if it could be done but I can't see it myself. Sorry? IP: Logged |

Madkrazy512, the cameras looking spiffy! Nice job ![]() Smeogol, I looked into the terrains image Res, no matter what I set it to export as, it would export as 1024x1024. So I posted on the products home page, and the designer of the software said he would look into it. A while latewr he came back and said he found a glitch in the code (dun dun dun dun!). So anyways, he told he how to temporarily fix it, it takes editing a file, but thats no biggy. Here's a texture with twixe the Res (2048x2048). Rendering now...........................hmmm, this might take a while...................... Umm, yeah, taking FOREVER! I'll post the texture when it's rendered... IP: Logged |

mr.smeagel its just a tranparent material on the face of the model to see inside and in the inside i stuck a roll of film to make like it actually does soemthing it might me animatable to spin while it films. ofcourse i have no idea how that done but just a thought. and sure ill work on the objective r w/e it may b actually called ![]() thx for the compliment i also added a ~light on the camera but wat i did is basically just put a white material on it not actually light. i think the real light would be done durign the animation if i am correct well mayb i'll post a pic to show everyone. EDIT: ok here it is, with the light and the objective with the double faces just for u mr.smeagel [This message has been edited by madkrazy512 (edited 05-07-2006).] IP: Logged |

I don't have time to respond to everything. So.. Mp3D's idea sounded great, live sessions are usually better. I was thinking about it a little myself, but some people might not even have a fast enough connection for it to work. Me. Sorry. Maybe each person could have Audacity run in the background on their own computer so we don't lose quality going over the net. quote:Real phone line or VoIP? The camera's looking good. Needs a bit more in texturing though, maybe those dimples they put on handgrips, complicated buttons, etc. You could animate the film spinning with a figure, it would be the easiest way. As for aliases, we agreed earlier we would do the screen name and real name, though no one has to put up their real name. I know we have two castle models, but which one of them is the castle of Glum? Glum seems to be a small drab country, so I was thinking a nice small castle along the lines of Chateau Aigle... My little brother suggested for a title, "The Remarkable Disappearance of Prince Charlie's Pimples" or "The Miraculous Healing of Prince Charlie's Zits" or soemthing along that line. I like it but I'm not sure if it would attract people to download it and see what it is, not snappy enough if you know what I mean. Any comments? IP: Logged |

Can I help with the movie? I'm new to Anim8or and I can't really help with the animation, but I do have a microphone and I can help edit the video by pointing out scenes which need improvement. BTW, for the title use a short word or maybe 2 which sound exiting but don't give too much away. Remember the kind of names which proffesional 3D movies are named with, such as Shrek, Ice Age, and Madagascar.

Just thought you guys might be interested: I have just set-up a Tutorial forums called Tutorials4All. It basicly is there for people to post tutorials on anything. There is a section on anim8or if you wanted to post anything on that! Hopefully users will build, so your tutorial will be seen! http://www.tutorials4all.editboard.com Thanks, IP: Logged |

i made a voice-sample too, but i'm kinda shy about my (bad) voice, so i did a voice which was not recognizable as my own voice, so i took wolf. (if you guys need anyone to do wolf... )these are the lines: "I'm a wolf!" "I'm a big, ferocious, wolf! WOOF!" (i changed woof into miauw" "Like, duuuhh" "There goes the steering" i hope my samples are correct, tell me what to change. (sorry about the shyness IP: Logged |

Texturing tip, madcrazy: If you have some kind of program with layers or objects, put the original map on a multipyly layer and paint under it. Then save it as a layered format, then hide the map and save as jpg. Welcome back Codfish! Startrek fan, first, the clip is hard to hear. Second, why did you change the woof to meow? Third, it sounds to me like you're a teenager with a low voice trying to pitch it higher, it might be better to have a younger actor play wolf. You sound like a puppet or something right now, try a different voice. I don't like the two lines "Well, duhh" and "there goes the steering" that way. "there goes the steering" should be more in the tone of voice of "oops, heh heh. There goes the steering. " As he thinks "oh boy, I did it. He's mad at me" "well Duh" is sarcastic, but it should be more drawn out... it's hard to explain. Your English sounds good though, don't be embarrassed to let us hear your normal voice, you could email it just to me and Benney and MP3D if you prefer. I'm sorry to be so critical. IP: Logged |

quote: Oh common... It's not like rest of us are all hollywood voice actors with beautifull voices... my voice sucks if you ask me... so I asked mp3d and benney to change it in the final movie - but I think it's best to do it in your real voice - that way it will look more natural, only the accents and emotions CAN'T be done in audio editing software... so that's the only thing for us, voice actors, to vorry about.

Mr Smeagle, If you would post your tutorials in any of the sections it would be most appreciated! (Registration is quik and easy and I could do with posting the user numbers). As for your "will get to many tutorial" thing, what I have decided is to only put forums up for programmes that I think are 'good' (depending on ease of use icluding UI, functionality, things like that). For all other software there is an 'Other' forum for each section! Please post tour tuts folks! IP: Logged |

Better to be critical and get a good movie than be false polite and get a lousy one, eh? If I am critical to anybody, it's nothing personal though. Nice site Mimo, could you make a tutorial on how to use transparency maps in ZS4? I gather it's possible but I'm not sure how. There's a typo under Cubase, BTW. "MUsic Creator From Steinberg" The u is capitalized. [This message has been edited by P_R7 (edited 05-09-2006).] IP: Logged |
