You can do what you want but you will need a video editor.


Set the whole thing up with both of them holding the hammer to get them in the right position for the pass. Use actions so the hammers get in the same position (good luck !). Then shoot the first bit with it visible for the right hand character and the second with it visible for the left hand character.


Then join in your video editor with a cut when the hammers are in the same position.


Hope this helps, but this is not for the feint hearted. Due to the "return to idle" issue I mentioned earlier the sequence I did using this technique probably took 3 hours to make !]]> Thu, 01 May 2014 08:13:15 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from VladimirP99 I would not bother you and other Muvizu experts with these questions if Muvizu:Play+ had a trial version. I need Muvizu for one project only and try to avoid paying $100 just to figure out if it is feasible at all.

Create the same object but not attached to the character. Animate the visible property of this to go visible at the same time.
Then animate the movement of the unattached object so that it falls just after it becomes visible.
That sounds great, but is almost impossible to do in practice as characters return to the idle position when editing the location of attached objects.
Maybe the next update will resolve this issue but until that time the whole holding objects feature is only really useful for attaching your own objects to the body (hats, glasses etc) rather than things to hands.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:58:48 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from VladimirP99 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 19:42:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 VladimirP99 wrote:
Thank you primaveranz. Is there a trial version for Muvizu: Play+? I could not find it on the website. For example, I need to know whether it is possible for a character to grab/drop handheld attachments (e.g. a hammer) at some points on the timeline. I could not find a way of doing this in Muvizu: Play.
I am new to Muvizu and would greatly appreciate any advice.

Currently you will not be able to drop/pick up objects within any public version of Muvizu, but Muvizu:Play+ does have the ability to 'attach' objects to the hands and other object areas (hair, eyes etc).
You have to purchase Muvizu:Play+ in order to use this feature.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 16:05:53 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from VladimirP99 primaveranz.

I do not see that box with arrow in any of standard characters (with arms) in Muvizu:Play. I also do not have any other objects as shown by fazz68 - just some watches, bracelets, gloves etc. Please help!!!

You need to buy Muvizu: Play+ to get that option.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 05:52:49 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from VladimirP99 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 05:17:13 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from LULU153 ]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:00:21 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from fazz68
wherever you see that box thing, you can add an attachment. they are all over the body. you might have to download the superheroes and rosie again to get their attachments working.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2014 14:54:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3544-get-the-character-to-hold-something.aspx Message from LULU153
