Posts: 225 		If we are contemplating adding auto-animating the door closing , could we not auto-animate the door opening?

In either case you're talking about determining the movement type(rotation), the amount of movement, speed and, in this case, the axis of rotation.Goofus

Are we thus heading towards a more generic object animation feature? Maybe the first step to waypoints and camera programming - whey hey! Party

Sorry - calmed down now.

And thus the can of worms has been opened.

I'm sure the physics involved in opening and closing doors would be murder to implement.

As you rightly mentioned, you would need to determine the speed, rotation and other intricacies involved in the everyday usage of doors. This is also forgetting the doors objects that we have which look like swing doors. The though of trying to get the door to swing both ways (giggity) naturally does not bear thinking about.

As for waypoints and camera programming... There are more pressing matters at hand just now, but stay tuned.

Anyway, as Steve Davis once said. 'I'm off to watch a documentary about doors on BBC4.'

Doesn't kill it, but it hardly enhances the scene, dontcha think?

Posts: 397 		The only thing that really bugs me about the "dome" sky as is is the clearly visible verticle seam(or line) that defines where the two ends meet. Othre than that I try to work around it, and sometimes the existing distorted effect works....it'd be nice if we had the "choice" of which to use I think, like Ziggy's HD skies or the original....just my opinion, and there's probably more important things going on at Muvizu like how to GRASP objects maybe? lol just kidding!

haha yeah this drives me crazy when i make stuff the resolution of my objects tend to often clash with the dome resolution it would be great if we could have a way to choose to import a higher resolution file for the dome if we want to. I have kind of resorted to using clear/plain colours with no terrain at all built in to minimize this issue. This would be easy for them to implement I would think unlike you know camera with a followable path or hand held props hehe.

Posts: 763 		a simple character turning movement of 90 degrees would be nice, instead of taking two steps to get there just one step

Yes, I totally agree with you there!

Posts: 975 		Also the ability to move two steps forward, or in any direction.

At the moment you can only move one step then another, rather than a natural two steps. Using the drag or click to point methods seems to have a minimum of around 4 steps. Consequently movement in a confined space is difficult and I have to avoid it.

Yes I agree too. This also extends to the ground. Could we adjust the number/size of the tiles? Some large high resolution textures probably only need a few tiles.

Posts: 1988 		Speed controllers on the effects with smoke! And by that I mean...well, just that. The smoke textures rise way too fast for anything other than a raging fire. I'm trying to use the smoke effect to get steam rising from a coffee cup and it's just too fast. Might have been requested before, but I've gotta gripe somewhere

Posts: 975 		And whilst we're discussing the effects - can we have a smaller fire please. Again, even the small fire is too big. I needed a match to strike and ended up scaling the whole scene up just so it didn't look ridiculous

Posts: 1988 		Hide All! And by that I mean a Hide All option on the View menu to hide the lights, cameras, effects, and camera window. Once selected, it would change to Show All (seems logical). It would be helpful to be able to switch between working mode and 'what will the folks back home see?' mode with one click, rather than four or five.

Posts: 1988 		Effect extent markers! And by that I mean a radial or box marker on effects which shows the maximum 'reach' of the effect. Although you can change the intensity, you can't change the scale so there's no excuse not to show us where the edges are

I've been trying to line up smoke effects (using a very very transparent png) and can't find a consistant overlap point because I can't really find the absolute edge. I know, I know, I'll have to use a more obvious png until I do find it, but that wastes time and is annoying to have to switch back and forth. Be simpler all round if we can always see where the edges are on every effect we can use, I think.

Posts: 1257 		Whoa! An incredibly specific request there zig! Can't say that on has ever even crossed my mind!
I'm with you on the tit mangling laughter though! ( Had a great laugh at that post btw!)
