I just found muvizu and decided to check it out. I have NO animation experience but have some animation videos that I have wanted to make for the past few years. I have been wanting to work on some projects that are mainly set in a restaurant kitchen so a commercial kitchen set is crucial. I am not sure whether I will be able to do it on here or not as there is no commercial kitchen set, no pots, pans, knives, etc. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi Culevan. Muvizu is great for characters, rubbish for props - you have to import everything you need. This means downloading Sketchup 8 or blender, getting the exporter, and then trying to convince Muvizu to import your stuff. There are complete kitchen models on Sketchup you could import, but size/complexity limits means you'll probably have to break it down into smaller bits to import. See this vid for more : http://www.muvizu.com/Video/17248/Tutorial-06-Building-sets-Importing-3D-models

I also have had to make a few kitchen sets - one was on the Death Star, but the principle was the same Unfortunately, you really need to be able to import external stuff but Muvizu is very picky about what it likes, the tutorial is way out of date, and there's about a hundred things you have to consider when importing anything. I'm not saying it's impossible by any means, just that you have to be prepared to learn new stuff to get it to co-operate. Read through some of the forum posts regards importing objects before you give up hope - we all had the same questions to begin with, so they can be very helpful. The Wiki is quite good too.
