Rodney: . Yojimbo: and drug them where I wanted them the direction I wanted them to go Susan: For those of you who've joined us recently, we're discussing current projects. Right now Yojimbo's project has the floor. : ) Yojimbo: Hit the randomize to change their direction etc. and gave them some spin Clay: well that's slick! desdanova: hmmm Susan: So each one takes a random direction by the end point, eh? Yojimbo: then I went through and picked similar sized rocks and moved them at different rates Clay: ah Yojimbo: trying to simulate mass and velocity bigger moved slower etc Yojimbo: The camera pan was tricky too but I won't bore you with it Susan: k : ) desdanova: Jim , did you point the camera manually or did you track a traget? MplsOiBoi: Yojibo, the planet rings... how'd ya do 'em... ? Yojimbo: So what would I have liked to know prior to this .. Susan: we've got lots more to cover, we've discussed two projects and have taken an hour..... so after these questions are answered, let's move on! : ) Yojimbo: I did the camera manually but used a tracked object as a reference for the angles Oi there's a tut at Bryce Master's site that explains the technique go to http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/Vineyard/8209/test_page3.html MplsOiBoi: Ok... thanks. Yojimbo: for a link Susan: (those of you in the queue... a good idea would be to get a separate text window open and compose a bit about the project that you want to tell us about.. copy n paste when it's your turn... that'll help us cover more ground!) screwhead.com: Yojimbo, just wanted to let you know that I added your animation to the Bryce Animation Theater. You can view the link description directly at http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/3246/awtfs.html let me know if you need anything changed. Bye! Yojimbo: I'll finish up with there's so much I would have liked to know prior to doing this, but I'd like to learn what you all are doing so I can learn more Susan: : ) Yojimbo: Great thanks screwhead Yojimbo: done Calyxa: did I miss all the fun? Susan: Okay.. just to reiterate the queue: MplsOiBoi: Good stuff, Jim. Susan: morpheus, sky pilot, Rodney, ghazelwood , mpls, dawn Yojimbo: danke viel mass Susan: those of you who recently arrived... we're going through n talking about my current project.. letting each person have the floor for a bit with questions/things learned/stuck places, etc... Morpheus, you're next.. those who are coming afterwards, do compose text in a side window.. think that'll help us speed along... Morpheus: God I wish I hadn't followed that... Okay http://www.mindspring.com/~kdaw/bryce%20page/portal.JPG well Mine is similar to Clay's in that I don't quite know where I'm going with it but more specificly I don't know where to set it. Susan: so Morpheus.. go for it! : ) Morpheus: you can faintly see the lighting effect I'm going for on the walls Susan: tell us where you know you're going, then,... first, Morpheus : ) Morpheus: trying to get this too look like a secret military project right now it's in one of the buck balls in the preset models Yojimbo: I have a few suggestions when you're ready:) Morpheus: and willing yoj Yojimbo: hehe Yojimbo: well ... You want it too look like something that is likely to be done today or the near future right? ghazelwood: Sorry, Susan, but I have a work in progress in photoshop for a client tomorrow and my 4 year old wants a story,:)Night all. Wolfie: What's the topic of the eve? MplsOiBoi: Night. Morpheus: right Susan: Topic is MY current project Morpheus: one of the major problems so far Susan: Right now Morpheus has the floor url: http://www.mindspring.com/~kdaw/bryce%20page/portal.JPG Yojimbo: well first off it's hard to tell that it's elevated and you might want to consider just putting the thing on the ground Wolfie: Just what people are workin on? Yojimbo: and use a metal texture for the structure supporting the energy well Susan: Yes: current project: roadblocks and breakthroughs, help asked for and offered... : ) Yojimbo: I like the effect you're going for on the walls mut you need more frequency to make the proportions obvious Susan: We have a queue of projects being discussed...sky pilot, Rodney , mpls, dawn ... if you want to be added to queue, let me know! Morpheus: right frequency added Yojimbo: Oh and put the camera at eye level that wil help too looks good though dawn: go ahead and scratch me from the queue, aunti... Susan: k, dawn... : ) Morpheus: any suggestions on how to set up a structure to put it in the buck ball is a little bit to ummmmmmmmmmmm Susan: I've got a coupla suggestions, Morpheus! Morpheus: kewl Susan: not necessairly on the order that you're asking for... Morpheus: fine with me Susan: but this is just to help see it better... My eye goes first to the yellow spots and to the blue sphere... Morpheus: another problem sure Susan: hard at this point to make out the center of attention... Morpheus: right Susan: there's that BLACK BLACK and then there's the gray.... don't quite follow what's going on there.. what is the surface you're going for? One word of advice on material settings... this is a universal one FOR EVERYONE! : ) Wolfie: !projedt Susan: on your settings, unless you want the object to be glowing or self illuminating... Wolfie: ?poser2bryce Yojimbo: hehe Susan: make your settings for Ambience (illumination) to be identical for all the object in your scene Susan: that way the "fit" with one another Morpheus: sorry don't know what happened Susan: and you don't have some items that "resist" the shadows of neighboring objects.... PJF88: preferably set to zero! lol Susan: er... not necessarily zero, PJF... tho I like mine to be a little lower than B4s default of 19 whatever like around 10-15 but.. whatever they are, make sure that they're the SAME! PJF88: I'm an extremist, ok? I don't like ambient materials. poserbryce: an old animation: http://poserbryce.virtualave.net/mars4.mov what dya think? Susan: poserbryce, I'll add you to the queue.... right now Morpheus has the floor oh, and I added Wolfie to the queue, too! poserbryce: queue of what? Susan: those of you who recently arrived... we're going through n talking about my current project.. letting each person have the floor for a bit with questions/things learned/stuck places, etc... the queue is whose project has the floor, poserbryce... so.. current queue lineup: sky pilot, Rodney, ghazelwood , mpls, Wolfie, poserbryce Morpheus, anything else you want to say or ask? Morpheus: ummmm that thing about the setting and ummmmmmmm well not really beyond that Susan: sounded like you were wanting suggestions to know how to model/build something for the structure to go into.... Morpheus: right Susan: anyone have any offerings on that? Morpheus: by the by Clay still awake Susan: well, I"m not hearing a lot of clamor of ideas, here, Morpheus.. so... I think it's time to move on a bit.... Morpheus: yeah I'll figure out something
