Sketchup to Muvizu okay it was just a little bit of collision in the handle I could have move it up but my logic told me it should be in the handle. Anyhow if you remove the option "can be stood on" like with the beds the character should move through the object more or less .

Anyhow good luck I am taking a break from doing anything like movies or models because I get saturated but I will be back and doing something more then adapting "used knives" in a week or so

Sketchup to Muvizu Before I remove more collision do you have the box "can be stood on" clicked in? if you unclick that it should be fine?

I put collision in the handle I can remove it completely if you like or put it in the tip. I didnt want it to drop through the floor so i put it into the handle. I can remove it if you like and give you a new zip file

the sketchup one likely has collision in the entire thing.

If I remove it completely and just put a tiny cube in you will have to be quick with it or it will get lost I would imagine due to the object shape its a flat thing

Spooky Halloween Challenge #2! haha yes halloween is heavily influenced by Scotland and Ireland so as you can imagine its a big thing for muvizu hehe. You can blame the pumpkin thing on north america though but hey its a lot easier to use then a turnip! lol

Its now spread over other parts of the world

I registered with that site, but I haven't redownloaded Blender yet, and cannot open or find this file, do I need to download blender and open it there first? because it made it a .blend file not an obj file

okay I modified one but its not mine so you will have to give him proper credit and I wont be adding it to the gallery however you can use it for non commercial use etc.

anyhow here is a link to the zip file.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69789825/knife.zip

just give credit to Andreas Larsson

The file was originally taken from here
http://www.blendswap.com/blends/weapons/old-knife/

to import it simply unzip and import ob_knife
no id texture
opacity none
no ambient occlusion map
single sided

I build minor collision into the handle

hope that helps.

it is very difficult for me to understand Halloween, culturally it is not registered in our traditions, so apart from the music and devils, that's all I can do, and when we can partying accept this modest contribution.
greetings to all





Oh dont worry about that I am jewish but I still enjoy a couple of christian based holidays one being halloween and the other being christmas. When in doubt consult the internet. Its "all hallow's eve"

Muvizu on Windows 8 lol although everyone has to start converting their software to be compatible as an end user I will stick by my rule of "wait at least 1 year before upgrading to the new windows" rule. They are busy looking for a c++ dev and I am thinking that they are probably working on windows update and a few muvizu upgrades as well. (Maybe not could be for some other project but the timing seems right)

Switch Layers for face mask, or textures? haha actually the altering a few frames with a photo editing program is actually pretty fast but its up to you I just thought I would add that info in as well. In all cases you have to create the texture to make the effect its just a question of what your going to do with the texture but in all cases some sort of "drawing" is involved for lack of a better way to put it.

I have done ziggy's way actually in my last little movie. Anyhow just thought I would toss that alternative out there. I am not known for wanting to take the most complicated route to complete anything quite the opposite actually

Switch Layers for face mask, or textures? you can also try editing shots in something like photoshop I have done this in a few cases. Its like the old fashioned way they used to create animations but that works as well. I did a fly splat in one video well when I was farting around with muvizu to see what it did the first thing i ever did with it was to make a little video with a bug flying and going splat up against a window. I did this by taking 2 frames of the video and drawing in the splat for lack of a better way to put it using photoshop and then replacing the two frames in the video. This is where the ability to create series of still images is handy and I think I saw a codec pack wiz by on this forum that does that.. for me however I just use the snapshot feature of my video editor because it comes with a stop motion package for animating things like that.

Anyhow so there are three ways and all of them very old fashioned methods of creating such effects in animation which people still use to this day

Newbi lol lemme see I dont see a lot of questions on the forum I am not a "mogul" but can probably give info on these extras.

1) collision in muvizu you can create no collision objects or ad collision it depends upon the software your using in blender its the standard method of adding it where you add basic geometric shapes around the object and if your familiar with unreal engines conventions you just have to identify them with the UCX_ there are some tutorials on it one is made for sketchup and then there is a "generic" blender tutorial that works well

http://muvizu.com/Video/21578/Sketchup-collision-made-easy-in-Muvizu-3D-ani

here is a thread with a tutorial on how to import objects with collision from blender to muvizu

http://muvizu.com/Forum/topic2241-learning-blender.aspx

3) if you save the object as a 'favourite' it will be available in the next set

My video is coming soon... very soon...



I had this done last night and wanted to hold it for another day because I wanted it up for halloweeny mainly but I think the muvizuzuzu team are a bit needing it sooner so there we are. In most cases I am doing it anyhow but hey maybe they will like it enough to mail me a free tshirt well actually I collect coffee cups more (that would be a hint) lol

At 1:08 the gunfire wipes out the narration completely, and at exactly the wrong moment unfortunately ("now known as the ...." !?). Epic finish though, good job, and sorry if I sound pedantic about the sound, but it does bug me somewhat when it's not right. Actually everything bugs me if it isn't right - I may have Muvizu OCD. Ignore me



lol believe it or not that was intentional

you actually miss nothing there but I am wierd I know

This little movie however is not the finely honed superman stuff for sure it was a quicky and even then I spent forever on the "money shot" scene and its not good but its also not bad

Spooky Halloween Challenge #2! here is my cheesy halloweeny video it kind of starts off a bit slow but ends rather dramatically




Err I am no poet and my ideas are rather odd which is why its safer for me to stick to stories someone else wrote lol

anti-aliasing CrazyDave wrote:
Hi guys.

Firstly, sorry for the slow response on this issue, I've been really busy with other tasks...

I'm working on a proper fix in time for the next release, but in the mean time it's likely that you can get your anti-aliasing to work by starting Muvizu with the command line parameter -forceMSAA.

The easiest way to do this is to edit the properties of the shortcut with which you launch Muvizu (or make a new one) and add "-forceMSAA" (no quotes) at the end of the "Target" text field.

Cheers, Dave.



oh wow thanks.

my stuff is not that bad there are ways to hide it a bit but in some shots it was so painfully hitting me in the face obvious lol, but I dont know if the average viewer of the videos would notice it

Help With Sony Vegas yes just chop your movie up into 1 minute bits with a little lag time in strategic areas and in your sony vegas edit it together. The other solution is to make your clips lower quality but your first post your looking to make something HD so your back to large files
