This seems to be an anti-aliasing issue. If you perform a file>export animation and uncheck the "anti-aliasing" option, the undesired outlines vanish. Unfortunately, this will also make the resulting rendering look a bit more jagged. http://www.bones3d.com/moho/antialias.gif Luckily, there...

I remember the old days where Bryce once seemed like more than just a gimmick... at least until I wised up enough to realize how awful the Kai Kraus interface used to be. With most displays back then topping out at 640x480, anything that used large icons as its only interface was probably not the mo...

Just a thought... If you're already using Mirage for things like rotoscoping, you might want to try getting your hands on a copy of Shake. Apple recently dropped the price to $499 from the original $3000 price tag. If I remember correctly, the software has tools in it for image stabilization through...

Shuriken School

Nickelodeon recently premiered a new show called Shuriken School that looks like the next sleeper hit for them since Kappa Mikey. http://www.bones3d.com/moho/shuriken.gif The show's style is sort of an odd mix of Peanuts (charlie brown, snoopy, etc...) and anime, right down to each characters' demea...

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the refresh rate of the human eye maxes out at around 60fps. This is part of why IMAX films tend to seem so realistic. (The other reason is the immense scale of the screen, which exceeds the maximum viewing angle the human eye can see.) In this case the film may play b...

This seems to be a modified version of some of the 3D effects tools produced in the last 10 years or so. Basically, it works by syncing a set of high-speed LCD goggles to on-screen images by temporary blocking each eye every other frame over fractions of a second. The concept is not unlike how inter...

When was that on television? I think I vaguely remember it. -vern If it's the show I'm thinking of, it was shown in the mid-to-late 80's on Nickelodeon along side other programming popular at the time like "You Can't Do That On Television" and "Mr. Wizard's World" with Don Herbe...

Bones3D, never heard of O'Grady. I don't know if I could check it out anytime, but if you'd know a place where I could get a still frame from it or something I could see what you're talking about. Here's a quicktime clip I found on the net. The audio's not great, but it gives you a general idea of ...

The still image and the first animation are great. However, the second animation shows why Moho is not the best tool for creating Anime. Her head doesn't really work in 3D. Actually, much of what's wrong in that animation is user error and laziness, not a Moho limitation. Much of that animation cou...

You ever seen the series O'Grady on the Noggin' channel? It's from the same guys that created the popular Home Movies series for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block.

Wow, that Movimento thing sounds like something I could use. I'm currently attempting to put together a 3D motion capture rig using three Canon ZR500 camcorders (one for each axis). The tricky part is going to be calibrating the rig just right so the scale on each axis matches up with the others. An...
