Sounds brill! Bohemian Rhapsody would get my vote. Have you seen the muppets version?



Although you could probably do any Queen song, there are a lot of great ones! I didn't know there was a model of Wembley - there's so much fantastic stuff on SketchUp!

There are a few speacial animations for 'We Will Rock You' too - so it would be good if someone ould make use of them.

Sounds like you have a lot of work over the weekend!

I'm sure the result will be awesome.

Glad it's coming along - I am looking forward to seeing what you can do with it.

You would need to break the collision up into sections, the same as the stage - and then export the collision sections and put them into the appropriate .ASE file. You should be able to get away with a few simple cuboids.

The good thing about creating your own collision is that you can make it whatever size/configuration you want. What I would do is something like this:



So keep the collision geometry as close to the size of the stage as possible, which would mean that any characters and props would be able to stand on it correctly, but if you make the collision volumes slightly smaller where the stage sections meet you will be able to get them to fit together more easily.

Take care,
-Jim.

Posts: 112 		Thanks both! - Yes Em I had seen the Muppets! Cool - not sure I will be able to complete this over one weekend - I suspect it will take a LOT longer..but will keep you both posted.

Thanks for the ideas Jim - I think I understand what you mean and it's what I thought I would have to do...the shortcuts will really help as well

Thanks again

Pete

Oh I would love to...but sadly I haven't had a lot of time recently - therefore I was going to revisit this when the new version of Muvizu was released, now if it had been the 30th......
