My only problem with scripts is that you have to put them in certain folders, update text files...this becomes a HUGE problem with portability. If you rely on a script tool and need to go to another computer, you gotta reload ALL of it. And its not a simple matter of replacing the script folder, bec...

Here's some soft that will open rars:

Lightwave to Anime Studio: By the end of this you should have 4 files in one directory: - Lightwave Object (.lwo) - image texture file(s) (.png, I don't know if it has to be a .png but I know ASP likes pngs so that's what I used.) - .obj object - .mtl material obj file (used by AS to know what image...

I'm resurrecting this thread because I'd REALLY like to know how to go from surface image textured Lightwave object to textured obj in AS.

I have LW 8.3 installed and have 9.6 but not installed yet.

Explosion sprite generator. Haven't used it yet, just came across it, remembered there are some game makers here.

Akgarner, keep in mind that with animation lip sync is not a "mechanical" process. Sometimes you need to have mouth shapes start before or after certain word sounds to make it "look right"--despite even what you might see in the waveform image. So there are definitely times that ...

You mentioned using "proxy movies," if you are trying to playback HD files EXPECT audio/video losing sync and other playback anomalies.

Try rending uncompressed small proxy files and see what happens.

At the bottom of the rig is another bone that is a parent of the parent of the pelvis and back bone ...I think my brain just exploded... TIP: Simple little tip for tablet users, when you need to create a "hold" key just hit the Reset button for whatever tool you are using. I do this now i...

If you use a codec or anything other than uncompressed make sure the "Key frame every" option is unchecked (deactivated). I have had nothing but problems if I use that feature. I also do not use the "Limit data rate" option. This advice could be a road block for those uploading f...

They're made for lots of people working to make the final product, and they work really well. What enhancements do Harmony and Animo have that allow them to work better for team projects? There's not much that can't be done more efficiently in the 'bigger' packages. What enhancements do Harmony and...

I don't know about other versions of the software, but in Pro6 you can put images in vector shapes using the Style editor, under effects. This is good if you just want a repeating pattern. Here's an example: http://www.lostmarble.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13957&highlight=blue Another way to do i...

In the Brush window what does " minimize frame-to-frame randomness" do?

Its not animated so what frame-to-frame changes are happening that it needs to be minimized?

Thanks for the Brush info, new feature I haven't gotten around to playing with! Love love love the "Squetch" rig. Maybe do that for everything but the legs. Look at some Fleischer animations, it would be amazing to see that rubberyness even in his run cycle, like his head elongating as in ...

Just yesterday I sent a minor bug issue through the bug tracker and got a very quick reply and even was thanked for sending the bug and listing each step that leads to the failure and my system specs so they could repeat the problem and work on a solution. I encourage everyone to be VERY SPECIFIC ab...

A brush is "transparent" based on the "white" of the image and not the transparency ...now I'm lost again... Your brushes are lines with manipulated line-width and somehow they are colored in a gradient from white to black and white again... ...and maybe they are masking another...
