Posts: 272 		So as I play around with Muvizu there are a few things I noticed that I would love seeing. So I thought I would share my ideas for someone else to take it and repackage it and sell them as there own!! (sorry had to do it! It was way to tempting!)

TimeLine
1. Color coded cue points
2 audio in wave format to be able to line up audio much easier

Character actions
1. would love to see the superhero characters have alot of the same actions as the normal characters. I.E. romance pirate...blah blah blah

2. Character action screen I personally hate this screen. For me its to small and would love to have it bigger and more than 9 actions to a page. the whole having to flip through pages to do an action at a certain point in your animation annoys me for some reason.

3. some eating chewing, drinking actions would be great. high five action, crawling, (dang just had a brain freeze. cant rember what else i was going to list lol)

Content pack ideas

1. Fantasy type pack (castles and all that)
2. Pirate pack
3. animals

would love to see a snapping action for lining up walls and such that would be great.
anywhoo just my 2 cents.
(will edit as i remember what i was wanting to list. man getting old sucks Not Found )
keep up the great work.

May I suggest some sitting actions I was going to use him in a movie were he did most of his actions sitting down but now dont think that will be possible without major work arounds which I don't think is worth the effort. We will see.

Posts: 272 		Now I know why I don't use the super hero pack. It seems to me it was rushed. Compared to old muvizu characters they are not even close in comparrison.
So some suggestions
Fix the sitting pose.( they look like barbie dolls sitting down with there legs all straight out)
give more character actions like the old Muvizu characters. (I would love to use them in other type of films but the limited actions just dont cut it. I ended up deleting them and going for the old characters)
a little more custimaziton as in hair, facial hair etc would be nice.
these characters would be great for other types of films. Even as super heroes i couldnt belive there wasnt a romance actions.

Regular suggestions for Muvizu in general.

actions.

tripping action would be nice
Small jump or hop
nuetral laying posistion like you would on a hospital bed or on your stomach.
washing dishes actions
tip toe sneaking action
holding a flashlight action would be sweet.


animation.

would love to see when you lock objects together be able to move them as one then animate them as one also. as a group object.

custamization
maybe some alien stuff like antennas and things

Packs
Huge building packs with lots of buildings would be sweet.
military pack


Clothing
would love to see the clothing for the super hero pack for the regular muvizu characters. the flowing gowns and the detail.

I think thats enough brain cell death for one day. just some stuff that comes to mind while I work on some movies.

Posts: 362 		Hi guys, nice suggestions, especially the flowing clothing for the old characters
I had an old project I nearly completed but the only thing I struggled with and
Ditch my project was a cape, yes I might as well tell everyone on the forum...
A while back I had a project, A Superman project.I completed the first
episode and was going to add the cape through green sceening and masks, yeah I know, its tuff, I did some tests and it looks cool, but doing it is very very very very
time, sleep, hair loss consuming work, and guess what, I burnt out, period..

Ok, what I'm saying is this, HQ, is it possible for a cape for the Fatman?
HQ, this was all that was holding up my Superman comedy parody mini movie..
I did three scripts for it, funny stuff, honest, come on, give me the cape for fat boy

Cheers, art

Posts: 272 		Well first off let me start by saying thanks for the update! Its nice to see developers that listen and communicate with there community of users. I do a lot of beta testing for games and I wish the developers of those games would come here and get a lesson in communication and working with a community. Kudos to HQ!!
Secondly this isnt a hate post or anything so I hope no one takes it as such.
I did find it odd that after some assets of trains was added to the gallery you add a Train content pack. Maybe odd timing I don't know just odd. Dont get me wrong I love content packs as I suck at modeling so I have to resort to asking for help and waiting for content packs to get released. BUT! Content packs (and this is my thinking only) IE models can be brought in by users these shouldnt be high on HQ priority.
I know bug fixes are naturally but before content like trains that are already in the gallery is added to a content pack we as users can download one from the gallery but what we can't create are actions for characters or characters no matter what we do as users we will always be dependent on HQ to keep us updated on characters and character actions to make movies look better and have better flow. The more actions a character can do the better a film looks. along with character assecories.

Since you should already have IK skeletons made up or whatever you use for these characters creating new actions shouldn't be to hard. maybe a little time consuming but so is modeling.

Maybe we do away with the video joiner and add a action creator where a person can create actions for characters. Just a thought. and save them to a folder.

Like i said earlier Im not hate posting but facts are facts models can be imported characters and character actions can't so HQ would seem to have to keep this at the top of there list to stay competive. otherwise all the prison and train assets in the world wont do you any good. Now Im not saying every single update has to have characters and actions.

I love this software I really do. This is one of those things that I would drop money on in a heartbeat. With that said Im just voicing my opinons in hopes that maybe my ramblings will help better Muvizu. There isnt that many places on the internet where one can go and find a place that has a great comunity and comunication as this one. so with that said remember im just discussing my views.( post in forums can be taken in the wrong context that is why I repeat myself)

Im done rambling blah
