Help with Audio. I recorded a dialogue track directly into Audacity and it sounds fine. I exported it as a .Wav file and brought it into Muvizu. However when I play it there I am getting a strange cricket chirruping sound that starts after a few seconds. I then tried re-recording as a .MP3 but get the same thing. I have also tried various volume levels but it happens every time.
Has anyone experienced this and knows the cure?

Running on the spot ikes wrote:
You can also use the run on spot action instead of character movement.


That's a good option especially as it cuts out the exaggerated starting action you get with the movement.

Thanks for the tip!

Transparency in Body Texture? ukBerty wrote:
In the past I have coloured the rest of the character green and then greenscreened it out in post.


Not sure if that would work as I want to have a clear glass bottle with legs. But it's worth trying, thanks for the suggestion.

Running on the spot It's just a bog standard wireless mouse.
However I tried it on another (less powerful) PC and although the actor stops running for a second he starts again and continues as long as I hold down the left mouse key.
So it is appears just another "one of those things" in the world of Muvizu.....

With the running motion you have to drag the direction arrow further away (initially) from the character to maintain the run (I guess it covers more virtual ground when running as opposed to walking).

I've tried pressing record, dragging the arrow as far away as possible and letting go, and the arrow shoots back to the start (but the character has stopped running by then).

I have also tried pressing record, dragging the arrow as far away as possible and holding it there, but the actor only takes a few steps then stops and may (or may not) repeat that before stopping again.


I can't get him to keep running. Of course maybe that is why he is "Fat Guy"

Mandy just downloaded OK for me using Foxfire browser /Ubuntu. If you have other browsers installed, try one or more.


That cracked it. I was using Chrome but switched to Opera and it worked!

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Running on the spot How do you get the actor to do this for more than a second or so. If I tick the "move on the spot" box, Record movement and drag the arrow along the stage the actor stops running after a couple of steps, no matter how far I drag it. If I let go of the arrow it shoots back to the spot.

Download Mandy Has anyone done this recently? It keeps failing when I try, but Rosie works OK.

Being able to apply transparent textures to the body to mask out limbs etc. It would make Muvizu far more useful to me in the medical sphere.

You can do this with the 'new' characters (Mandy, Heroine, etc) but not the 'potato heads'. You just set their top to None, or legs, hands, etc.


You can't remove the head though?

Transparency in Body Texture? There's always something! ROFLMAO

Transparency in Body Texture? This seems to be impossible. Or has anyone mastered it? I want to hide all parts of a body except the legs but applying a transparent texture doesn't work.

license issues Just a heads up Muvizu folks.

This poster has a history of asking frequent questions on the Moviestorm forums and not reading any of the answers. Then repeating the same questions a while later.


He/she also changes username from time to time presumably so you will forget who they are. But the same questions give it away.


So I wouldn't advise you to get too embroiled trying to help them, since he/she won't help themselves.

Assigna Material for an imported FBX prop. The ongoing story...the reason the FBX was"not licenced" was because the model had a skeleton. Once I removed that it imported OK but it steadfastly refuses to allow me to allocate textures inside Muvizu, just colours.
I am talking to Jamie about it and will let you know the outcome.

Is this by design or a bug? Sadly it is intermittent. I had had the same issue several times with the same character in the same movie. If I deleted some actions (especially head moves) he still did them. Ended up deleting the character, then the movie, then started again.

Assigna Material for an imported FBX prop. Thanks UKBerty, I just deleted the transparent segment and made the model two-sided instead, not as good but far less frustrating than trying to line it all up again.

Assigna Material for an imported FBX prop. Still trying to sort out FBX imports. This time with a transparency. With .ASE it seems like you can have the whole model transparent or none of it.
With FBX I am now getting a message saying "The feature you are trying to use is not licenced for this version of Muvizu." Without a transparency the model imports OK......

Things I'd like to see in Muvizu. Neither the tax or rain comments are actually correct, but I must admit I emigrated to in New Zealand where it is much warmer. And we even win at rugby more often than not

It's an add on - http://www.muvizu.com/Pack/18/Key-framing-expansion-pack

...and, I should clarify, it works for objects/cameras/lights/etc, but not character actions - character properties yes, but not actions.

Err yes that was exactly my point

And OK leave the physics. But why would you deny users the other improvements ?

Can you show how me how to :-

keep the Timeline visible at all times?
duplicate a camera's exact location and settings in another part of the timeline?

And have you never found yourself changing the properties of the wrong object because the wrong edit box is showing?

You'll notice I titled my post "Things I'd like to see" not "things which Muvizu MUST have or I will throw a hissy fit". Some of us want to hang around and improve the capabilities of the software and so feedback suggestions which might retain a few more of those beginners who rapidly tire of the current limitations and difficulties and move on to other software. After all that is what this particular Forum is for.


And for the record, I already use iClone and Moviestorm but I don't believe in restricting my endeavours to one platform.
