Dreeko, I'm pretty sure you could make a tutorial on how to turn on your computer and we'd all be interested..

I second that! ]]> Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:09:42 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from Danimal Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:49:30 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from 65Radius Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:21:26 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from haarvik Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:11:53 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from Dreeko 65Radius wrote:
Haarvik , The character stays when you "direct", but behaves as expected when you "play".
Dreeko, the cloud effect is quite impressive!


Yip, especially if you animate the movement of the dry ice aswell!

PS: would it be helpful to anyone if I made a video tutorial of this moving character in a lift/on a cloud effect or foes everyone already know what's going on here?

Mysto,
I repeated your experiment, and found that additionally, if you use a backdrop "ground" with "texture=none" instead of a cube, you can have a character that appears to rise up in the air and descend with no apparent support!


I used this same technue to make characters appear to be falling down a well when in fact they were rising on an invisible platform. The angle just made it look like they were falling.

This only works on up & down movement. Lateral movements don't work the same: the object moves but the character stays put until the object is gone from under them and then they fall.]]> Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:50:26 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from haarvik Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:58:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from mysto Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:21:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from ukBerty Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:11:17 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from mysto Tue, 26 Apr 2011 12:54:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from 65Radius I repeated your experiment, and found that additionally, if you use a backdrop "ground" with "texture=none" instead of a cube, you can have a character that appears to rise up in the air and descend with no apparent support!]]> Tue, 26 Apr 2011 12:45:55 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from freakmoomin
yep i think that would be the only instance in which anything like that would work mysto (although i could be wrong).

so if you want to animate a char + object going up or down its defo possible by hitting the 'can be stood on' option but going any other direction the char will just pop on top of the object and then back down to its original position again...

Hopefully at some point we will be able to group chars and objects and be able to animate the group ]]> Tue, 26 Apr 2011 12:32:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from mysto
I'm not very good at explaining how I do things so I hope this helps. If not, DREEKO HELP!!!!!!!!!!!]]> Tue, 26 Apr 2011 11:49:35 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1022-move-character.aspx Message from ukBerty

I would say no (although someone will probably come up with a way I haven't thought of).


The three ways I have achieved this are - good old green screen (Igor in the cab in Beware the Pie), moving backdrops and moving cameras so that it looks like characters are moving (end of Beware the Pie on the rocket).


You could use a combination of the above of course.
