ok in france good video

okay it was just a little bit of collision in the handle I could have move it up but my logic told me it should be in the handle. Anyhow if you remove the option "can be stood on" like with the beds the character should move through the object more or less .

Anyhow good luck I am taking a break from doing anything like movies or models because I get saturated but I will be back and doing something more then adapting "used knives" in a week or so

Before I remove more collision do you have the box "can be stood on" clicked in? if you unclick that it should be fine?

I put collision in the handle I can remove it completely if you like or put it in the tip. I didnt want it to drop through the floor so i put it into the handle. I can remove it if you like and give you a new zip file

the sketchup one likely has collision in the entire thing.

If I remove it completely and just put a tiny cube in you will have to be quick with it or it will get lost I would imagine due to the object shape its a flat thing

I thought I saw a cutlery set wiz by in the 3d assets but possibly its gone anyhow let me find a blender one or make one i can probably find something that will do but i wont put it into the assets gallery because its going to be a quicky and not a work of art

There isn't a tutorial on doing this specifically for Muvizu, may be I'll find a spare minute or 2 and do one.

Basically though -

1. Go to photoshop

2. Create a new image, 256x256 pixels is probably good for a shower curtain unless you want it to be highly detailed.

3. Pick the colour you want it to be and use the paint bucket tool to apply that colour at 100% opacity

4. Go the channels tab (normally this is on the bottom right hand corner of the photoshop window, next to the layer tab)

5. At the bottom of this window there is a little button that looks like a piece of paper with the bottom left hand corner of it folded up. If you hover the mouse over it then it'll say "Create new channel". Click this.

6. You'll now have a black image, don't worry this is the alpha your seeing. Go back to your paint bucket tool and change the opacity to 50% or 60% or whatever level you want. Once you paint bucket the image it'll turn a shade of grey.

7. Look at your channels tab, you'll see that your RGB, Red, Green, Blue channels are not visible. Click the little eye icon on the left hand side of each channel and your image will appear again - though now it will have a red tint to it. This red is the opacity on the image.

8. Save the image as a TGA (targa) file

9. Go to sketchup and create or open the shower curtain model. Apply your newly created TGA as the material. Adjust the tile / position / etc in sketchup and then export your model

10. Open Muvizu and go Import Object. Select your ASE file and then look at the "Map alpha to" drop down option. This needs to be set as "Opacity".

11. Click import and move it into place in your set, you should now have a 50% or 30% or whatever level transparent shower curtain.

Hope this all makes sense!

The best way is to upload it through Muvizu or the this website to Youtube and then post the video in this thread. Hope this helps.
