| http://www.animanium.com Anybody else waiting to see what this can do. I think it's going to be pricey though. Doggie |
| ||
| Oooh, this looks interesting! edit: make that amazing! |
| ||
| Rumors suggest it's going to be around 2000$, but it seems like it's worth it! |
| ||
| Yeah, that's pretty much the same ballpark figure I've seen. No champagne for me on my beer budget... Doggie |
| ||
| One has to wonder, which October they are talking about :) |
| ||
| it does look very cool. atleast the movies. i bet its harder than it looks though, lots of setting up perhaps |
| ||
| For the time being I'm back to using Life Forms 3.5. I got it off a cover disk probably a year or so ago. Had some trouble with it being flaky(kept crashing) under WinXP but found if you go to the compatability tab and check disable visual themes it works perfectly. The good thing is you can use poser 4 to do the anims save them as BVH and load the BVH into Life Forms and attach them to your low poly model and save out as 3Ds. Maybe I'll release some animated models soon. Doggie |
| ||
| animanium looks great, maybe i'll buy it if it's really worth it, somewhere down the line. |
| ||
| Hey Doggie, cool Tip, thx! I still got poser 4 and life forms 3.5 somewhere here, never installed them yet, but from what you said it's really cool. (wasn't there a lot of people trying to find a way from bvh to blitz?) |
| ||
| I think so. Mind you, of course, that this is from BVH to 3DS but still useable in Blitz just not manipulable(word). What would really be cool is a way to directly assign bvh to blitz models on the fly instead of loading in pre-animated models. Maybe that can be done...beats me. Doggie |

| OK. Downloaded the French to English menu convertor and started the download of 6 5mb files... How do you reccomend converting wrl into B3d retaining the animation? Thanks for the tip! Doggie |
| ||
| does wrl support bones though? |
| ||
| Beats me. It's apparently not a standard wrl file either since no program I have will load in the file...oh well. |
| ||

| ||
| If you have a convertor that works with Avatar Studio 2 would you kindly share it with a link? Be much obliged. Doggie |
| ||
| That's an amazing looking animation program. Sega == w00t |
| ||
| One has to wonder, which 'first half of November' they are talking about :) |
| ||
| Well, it's out now...1500$ ouch! A demo would be great, but it doesn't look like there is one yet :( |
| ||
| $1,500? That's just crazy! -me |
| ||
| it's mainly for cg work for high end studios. |
| ||
| Hmm. Why are they charging $1,500 for Animation: Master's animation routines? :) Seriously, though, it looks almost exactly like it. |
| ||
| Messiah:Animate looks about as capable as Animanium if not more so (I haven't tried either so it's hard to say for sure) and it's a third of the price. Thanks for posting the info on Animanium though, I like to see what all my options are. :) http://www.projectmessiah.com/x2/messiahanimate.htm |
| ||
| animanium demo is now available, d/l now, gonna see how it is. |
| ||
| Man, it's excellent, try it and see! |
