Issue with Floating Point Render Then I'd be tempted to try this on one of the offending machines:-

Close Muvizu.


Take a copy of these two files:- BaseEngine.ini and MuvizuEngine.ini and save them somewhere with new names.



Open the two original files using notepad.

Find the line in each that says FloatingPointRenderTargets=True and change it to FloatingPointRenderTargets=False.

Make sure you save the files as .ini files and not .txt files.

See if it works. If it breaks things then replace these files with the copies (or just edit them back if you feel brave

You might want to back up any Muvizu .SET files etc beforehand but I honestly don't think they will be affected.

Like I say that is what I would do. But of course if you choose to try this it is entirely at your own risk

It's between "Use camera way points" and "Remove Collision"

Issue with Floating Point Render If Taffj was correct and the hardware was identical in all cases then I would suspect an out of date driver for the video card. What kind of video card do you have in your Mac?

Aw now it'll just go and crap in your neighbour's garden - you should get a Gorilla litter tray

Object Lock doesn't work properly. Thanks for those tips ukBerty, especially the one about the inclined ground planes. Anything that gets me a bit further through the morass of what was meant to be a quick test of Muvizu's potential is greatly appreciated

I totally agree with you on the "C" word. It may be crucial for games development but, in its current form, it is worse than useless for movie-making.

Object Lock doesn't work properly. I must admit to being bamboozled by claims that Muvizu is a quick way to make animations. It is like playing snakes and ladders there are so many "gotchas" in store. Yes there are lots of nice animations and the special effects are cool so, as long as your movie consists of one guy standing talking to the camera, with random things happening in the background then I'll agree it can be fast.
But try and do anything remotely involved and you'd best be prepared for a whole lot of misery.
Sadly I suspect that if, as Ziggy72 says, they have not been listening to their customers for years, they will not have many more years left to get it right. E.g. If I was Muvizu and guys like Ziggy72 and UKBerty (with their track records) were telling me something was broken, I'd definitely be listening very carefully!

Object Lock doesn't work properly. Having been caught out several times by the inability to undo object movement caused by collisions and the lack of "snap-to" abilities. I have now got into the careful habit of locking every single object I put in place before adding another. But just now, after editing an existing movie I decided to add one more object. As usual this fell from the sky and landed on my locked road. No problem - it was locked.
I confidently changed the scale of the new object as it lay there and it knocked the locked road out of alignment!
So I have had to close Muvizu without saving in order to restore things exactly as they were.
At least I have only lost 5 mins work now because I am also paranoid about saving my work regularly due to the instability of the software.

Why does locking not work when a touching object is rescaled? The scaled object should move instead because it is not yet locked

Why can't objects be defaulted to "Float in Air" so they don't fall and catch out the unwary who have not locked everything on the set?

Yes it does, thanks Neil.

Request:- Edit movement path Is there a list of planned improvements anywhere? It would be nice to see what might be on the horizon and even better to know how far away that horizon is

Request:- Edit movement path Since moving a character is so hard to achieve accurately, it would be great if you could edit the movement path after recording by dragging waypoints around.

Sketchup to Muvizu These are brilliant Dylly. Now if only a character could pick up a book from the shelf, browse it, and put it back etc

Paint tools don't work as expected. Ok I realise now that I need to "Group" the buildings before painting, but my query on the eyedropper remains.
2013/11/7 5:22:10
Paint tools don't work as expected. I have several buildings and I want them all the same colour. So I select them all, choose edit properties and change the colour.
Only one of them changes. So I select the others one at a time and try placing the "dropper" over the correct one to copy the colour. The new one changes colour to something between the old colour and new, not what I want. why?

In the end I have to select each building in turn and set the drop down boxes to have the same values for RGB.
