I'd love to see a preview (like in the normal animation render) to show current progress in the batch render (along with a render clock - as mentioned in another topic).

Cheers,

Ditto! Maybe an approximation of time remaining based on current render time would be good also. I realize this wouldn't be 100% accurate, but a rough number would be helpful.

This could be solved by allowing this popup to be turned off in the .settings file, so power users (who know what kind of image layers they'd like) could disable it themselves (after having gotten to know the program). Not an elegant solution, perhaps, but it means people know what they're doing bef...

Wow, that really is lovely.

I'm going to have to keep an eye out for Sang's posts!

Looks great!

I've got to agree with him, Dave. You do great work. I love your character design (the little blue guy in you signature icon being a great example). I'd love to know how you go about doing something like that. It's not complicated, but it's so fun and reads so well. Do you have a process? If you had...

Okay, I gave it a spin. You can rotate layer Y to turn bones (and the "child" 3d objects) for a 3d effect. If you wanted, you could cannily position the axis points of your bone/3d layers to achieve the desired effect. Moho does a neat job of adding an outline only around the outside of th...

Okay, I haven't done my homework on this but...

Could you wrap a bone layer in a group folder and rotate it a bit to get manipulation in 3d?

Irresponsible of me not to just try it before posting, but not at my Moho machine.

Thanks for the link. I'll give Art Rage a spin.

Congrats again on the great work, Mark.

Those really are great. As said above, the animation on the head turns is terrific. What a great tip.

Is painter an expensive product? The results are fantastic.

Congratulations.

I like the style of the characters. They have a modern look that I've seen on greetings cards and in some children's books.

Cheers,

Ah. I understand now. That is good to know.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

Best wishes,

Does it go from open to close in 1 frame at the end of the cycle? I think it looks very natural, so I'd like to try and copy your technique.

The blinking on the "particle" animation is very good. How did you do it? A certain number of frames from open to close to open?

Thanks.
