Re: Get this QTime 3D Video - Amazzzzin! A must for RUSH Fans
Yo Aidan.. That was cool..! Thx for sharing this.. Must have been a really heavy work to get that done..! and yep, I enjoyed it..! =) Take Care Best Regards Stefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) A Proud Owner and User of Real3D and Realsoft3D.. Hi Guys, Grab this: http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/neilpearty.mov Neil Peart is the Rush drummer - ONE OF THE BEST. RUSH are one of MY all time fav bands. Blown away with this :) This is an anim of him playing the Rush track YYZ. The backing track is the original song with full 3D Animation of him playing WOW - 23mb .mov. Well worth a download. Created and designed by Bobby Standridge: On a technical note, the video was created with 3D Studio Max R3 and hand key framed using a video reference of me air-drumming along to the song. Being an older version of the software, the inverse kinematics tended to bog down after a few hundred frames, so I had to break the video down into many (un)manageable pieces. Adobe's Photoshop CS and Premiere Pro played key roles during the compositing and authoring phases. Fair dues to the guy for Air Drumming the parts. This is no easy piece for a drummer. He must be a good drummer himself too. Enjoy,Aidan
Re: Basic SDS - two page tut.
Hi Stefan, I pick up bits and pieces from others ways of doing things, and then adopt it to fit my way The rule is "take what you need and leave the rest", but I doubt if there would be much in my tut for anyone who has already cracked SDS. more of your tuts or just tips Very busy right now with building and client stuff but the back of the brain says maybe there's a use for basic perspective intro theory. Or rather my two cents worth in that line.

Hi Neil Thanks for sharing this, it seems very nice...! Hey, there isnt ONE way that is the best and correct way of doing things, and especially not with SDS There are tons of ways of doing things !, and I enjoy very much every time someone shares "Their" way(s) !!! Even if I got the cool 'Aha' Feeling in SDS a long time ago.. which I wish for all to experience, I dont stop learning, and I pick up bits and pieces from others ways of doing things, and then adopt it to fit my way of thinking..!!! I also think that there cant be enough sharing, since when alot of sharing is going on then it leads to even more sharing, and if we all encourage each others to share, not only fully featured and finished and polished tutorials, projects, objects, shaders and so on But even small tips, half done objects, shaders, effects, animation bits, and similar, this can at least get ppl an idea of how things can be done..! (and if time let it be done, they can be completed as time goes..) Well, thx again Hope to see more of your tuts or just tips, trix and workflows in the future,that you use ! BTW I have some promised tuts that I havent had time/energy to finish =(.. I might follow my own advice above, and release some of it "as is" and later if needed polish it up.. Take CareBest RegardsStefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) A Proud Owner and User of Real3D and Realsoft3D.. Hi List, The tut is designed for beginners. It touches on all the tricks I use for SDS work. Anyway, a second page is now added to complete this thing. http://www.neico.conz/3d/RS3Dwhatwhere.html Neil Cooke
Re: NURBS Curve - add point
Thank you very much for this, I will try the workaround the next time this happens. Too bad that the problem, or a related problem, remains in v5.1. :| Thanks, Fredrik Bergholtz On 14/04/06, Beg-inner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Fredrik, Vesa and Chris.. I tested here on the vanilla V5.1 SP2.. And I can repeat the actual behavior.. I dunno if you have done exactly this to get the problems but here it is.. When I change the 'Point Count' field in 'Spec' Tab to an enough low value that changed the curve´s shape... then the 'New Point' Tool started to mess up.. (Weirdest mess up, was that when trying to add a point, RS added so the curve got an extention of it to infinity.. =) beyond the screen and to infinity..=) and it only rendered if changed 'Parametrization' to 'Uniform', it then rendered the extra part of the curve, with a scanline type of odd shading) Its not only the 'New Point' Tool that is messed up, its also the 'Sharpen' and 'Break' Tool ! Workarounds I use: Either just click on the 'Param' Tool (in the 'Controlbar') Or 'Elevate by smoothing the Shape' Tool, and then after that the 'Reduce' Tool to get back the Polygonal shape ! After this, the 'New Point' and those other tools works (as far as I have seen it works everytime) until you reduce the 'Point Count' again.. Take Care Best Regards Stefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) A Proud Owner and User of Real3D and Realsoft3D.. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a pattern for this behaviour. All I can say is that from time to time this happens. Usually closing the curve and breaking it open again fixes it. The problem I had today, however did not go away. I had to re-make the curve from scratch. (Not very difficult, but somewhat annoying) Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz On 13/04/06, Vesa Meskanen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Fredrik I am working a lot with polygonal NURBS curves in my model, but sometimes the Add point method fails! Is the problem repeatable? If it is, please email me some instructions (and/or test models). Thanks! Kind regards, Vesa Meskanen Realsoft Graphics
