Posts: 2 		Hi everyone,

I am completely new to Muvizu and I need some advice.

The video I am creating requires me to show a character typing in a computer. Is it possible to do this?

Also, I can only find a keyboard and a computer monitor. Is there a laptop somewhere I could use?

Thanks!
Hector

For the laptop, this one is very nice http://www.muvizu.com/3D/17219/Laptop
Just use the menu Create then Import to get it into your scene.


There is a Typing action (in the Boardroom section of actions) you can use too. And welcome aboard

Probably not much use for a laptop though.

Thanks @ziggy72, I'll see if it works

@Primaveranz, I loved the video. It is a pity that Muvizu doesn't include typing gestures. You did a great job with the use of the keyboard animation and camera angles.

How did you place the screenshots / animations over the computer screen? As I need to achieve a similar effect?

Thanks,
hector

There are often a lot of hoops we have to jump through

The still shots were just screenshots I did of an Excel sheet. I edited them in Paint.Net to skew them (because the screen is not square) using the "Grid warp" plugin. If you right click on the Muvizu monitor and click on "Edit" you can change the image (but I don't think it allows animations).

I would have normally done the animation using Moviestorm and green-screened it onto the Muvizu set, but that became a nightmare due to mismatching codecs so I just recreated the desk and PC in iClone, played the animation on that, rendered out the clip and edited it in to the final vid using Vegas Moviestudio.
