Its a vary basic quest. Plz let me know how to make a man fly from one spot to another.

Is it possible to make him spin around an object? cos i found it odd to do so.. I tried a lot to make him move from one spot to another in air and spin around an obj and land on it.


Thanks in advance,

Regards,
J D

Different modes of character movement would be great (flying, driving etc) and the ability to have some of the larger objects as accessories (cars, planes, helicopters etc) would allow the little guys to travel in the appropriate vehicle.

How about it?

Posts: 157 		You can actually create a very good-looking flight scene without green screen, using nothing but Muvizu. I'm in the middle of making a quick How-To video on the matter, though I may not be able to finish that today so for anyone in a rush here's a quick guide:
-----
1) Create the scene in Muvizu you wish for your character to be flying through, but do not put your character in the scene yet. Just make the background.
2) Go to Direct > Camera Movement and record your camera moving from left to right across the front of your scene (using the "D" key to move the camera, instead of the mouse, for smoothness).
3) "Make Video" and render out an AVI of your scene with just a camera moving left to right. This will provide the background for your character to fly in front of.
4) Go to File > New and create a new scene in Muvizu.
5) In this new scene, go to Create > Objects > Backdrops and put in a new "Super-Wide" object.
6) Now create your superhero character and place them in front of the Super-Wide object, performing the "Flying On Spot (Looped)" character action.
7) Right-click the Super-Wide object and use your AVI file from earlier as the texture for this object.
-----
Voilà! One flying superhero! Well, a superhero floating stationary against a moving backdrop, but that's movie magic for ya! If you're confused then hang tight for the aforementioned tutorial I expect to put up either today or tomorrow - it really is very straightforward and easy to do.

U guys have given a valuable inputs, i tried it and BAM ... Cool results of course...

Oh ya Dreeko is rite.. cool mr. Dreeko... u solved how to make a char ride a bike.. Thanks buddy.

But guys , I found a cool way with trail and error to make a super hero literally fly from one spot to another... Enjoy and follow these steps and u can find it really useful some days...

1) create and custom ur super hero.
2) Now select ur hero and prepare for char actions, select "fly start" and "flying on the spot"
3) Now first direct the char actions, select fly start and before that sequence ends select fly on the spot, keep loopin it for some time.
4) Now here comes the weird part: Direct your char movement. Select ur char in movement normal mode and drive him to a spot where u want. U can find ur hero running on the ground in a weird action. DON BOTHER.. next step answers every thing.
5) Now do cntrl-z (undo) : this will remove the char movement from the time line but not the spots.
6) Now rewind to the start and play ur demo version. BAM : ur char flies from one spot to other..

Its tested and works.. Have some cool effects like mild strom to make it look so realistic. Also have two three cams to capture the scene in long shot, lookin up from the ground, and a close look...

I did a lot of trial and error to finally achieve this loop hole..

Try it out and enjoy guys.. Hope i can see more super hero vids hence forth..

Please let me know in case of any issues... i ll try my best Cool

Once again thanks a lot friends, really helpful...

Regards,
J D
