Posts: 15 		Hi,

I'd like to make a king character with a mantle from "fat man" but it does not have a mantle. The super villain cape would do it. How do I transfer the cape to "fat man"?

thanks
Lajos

If you don't mind a cape that won't have the flowing effect - so just a solid object - I think there's one for the fat man. Alternatively you could make on in sketchup/download one from the 3d warehouse/ask someone else to make one which you could then import.

I hope this helps,

Where can I find instructions how to make a cape by myself?

I'm not at a PC with Muvizu at the moment, but I believe there's a cape in the 'neck' section unless that's just for the generic man character.

I'm not sure where you'd start with the designing of a cape, but you will need Google Sketchup 8 and the Muvizu Ziggymesh plugin:

For the designing part you could ask people like Ziggy72, Fazz68, or Rebel to name a few.

I would like to use Carrara and FBX import. Is that possible?

Yes this is possible if you use play+ you need the correct version of FBX. Technically if you use carrara you just need to get the autodesk converter which is free and bear in mind that since its unreal 3 certain properties may not be supported by muvizu

however you should be able to export with a properly uvmapped object the following layers
diffuse map
normal map
specularity map
opacity map (sort of) it doesn't seem to support a true map but you can use materials and assign opacity properties to an object based on the material layer.
Emmissive is also supported

its FBX 2012 I think .. again I forget this because it was long ago that i looked up that info.

Why do I need the autodesk converter?
Thanks for the wiki link.

In case the fbx version that carrarra exports as is not the one that muvizu recognizes so you will need to convert to fbx 2011 or 2012. I think they upgrade carrarra from time-to-time so its possible that its the wrong version of fbx but this is easy to fix.

Posts: 15 		I made a test mantle in Carrara.



How to make the kings arms not to penetrate the mantle's material ?

How to make the mantle "flowing" like the super villain's cape ?

Posts: 1786 		okay soft cloth and those physics is not possible (yet) to turn on this is something they really need to add. After I posted information I thought to myself "i wonder if he knows that there is no soft body physics yet"

anyhow yes this is the problem with assets in muvizu at the moment we are quite restricted to solid mesh.

Posts: 1786 		This is done by muvizu central its not a player created asset. So like animations and importing characters we cant do soft cloth because they have not implemented it for users.
