I am trying to decide what tutorial still to do guys. So far I have came up with.

*greenscreen muvizu characters onto a video (either using after effects, nuke or fusion. take your pick)
*import models from modo into muvizu

Hi Clair, my vote goes for greenscreen. That would be great.]]> Sat, 25 Dec 2010 14:36:21 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx
I have just finished a hints & tips video about opening doors using object movement - feedback is always welcome.

Take care,
-Jim

Slightly off-topic for this thread, but hey, I'll roll with it.

Could you define "sensible view"? It seems a bit arbitrary.

I know i have had similar problems and for me a "sensible view" could be to be able to move to the same view as a selected camera?

I tend to use the scene window then select a character then use "M" or "L" (I think)

It's not quite what you're after, but you can also right-click a camera's view in the camera window and your viewpoint will move to that camera.

No, that is a great tip and will save me a lot of time for when i go awol

thank you Neil]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 13:33:04 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx toonarama wrote:

edited by chuckles on 10/12/2010]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 11:09:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx The Muvizu functionality is clearly aimed at allowing a beginner to get up and running very quickly but as a result is more limited when you want greater control/flexibility. Nonetheless some of the more skilful users have managed to workaround these limitations so it can be done.

Therefore tutorials that show how you can creatively use Muvizu to extend it's apparent capabilities would certainly be useful.

thanks

All of your other ideas sound great. The green screen etc. Maybe a short one on how to open a door with the new system.

But what I really feel I need is a tutorial that deals with animating a character through a little sequence of mood changes, gestures, walking and sitting. Basically, something that shows common pitfalls and how to avoid them!

For instance, I don't know if it's a bug with the new version but sometimes when I set a character's initial state to stand, and then have them sit they will stand up a few moments later, or they won't for several moments, but they will right at an inconvenient time. Other times I will animate one of the poses, and if they walk soon after they awkwardly carry that pose in the walk. I know you split the upper and lower body on purpose, but there has to be a way to reset the upper body to cleanse the palate so that the walk isn't a stiff held position. Okay it looks like I'm sneaking How To questions into this tutorial thread! I'll stop and post some of this over in that section. But I still say a day in the life of an animated sequence Tutorial would be a good one.

Thank you.

I was also planning to do one about adding subtitles, or start and end credits as well as one on green screen using AVI Synth and Virtual Dub.

Any requests would be good though!]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 16:00:30 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx
instead of "heres a box being animated" actually have a context for it.....so do a simple car chase or something....

Claires lighting one is a great idea aswell, hopefully this will bring good lighting to the masses.....lighting is SO important and its kinda neglected a bit.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 12:38:21 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx
*how subtle lighting, depth of field and focal length can change the whole mood of your video
*greenscreen muvizu characters onto a video (either using after effects, nuke or fusion. take your pick)
*import models from modo into muvizu

I might do them all if i have time but does anyone have a preference? or is there any other ones you can think of?]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:58:33 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:44:54 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx Wed, 08 Dec 2010 11:11:31 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic780-new-tutorial-vids.aspx Wed, 08 Dec 2010 10:59:15 GMT
