You could possibly draw your transparent object with gradient in Photoshop, save as a .png and import it into AS. The .png will maintain it's transparency in AS.

Hi Ricardo. Wienertoonz V1 is a collection of pre-animated wiener type characters. It is very easy to use and complicated animations can be created in seconds. The collection includes, walks, runs, jumping, kicks, skids etc. I am about to release a standalone version of wienertoons for kids we have ...

Vern. I really feel for you mate. Can anyone at EF give you justification for the $15 fee. Are there administration costs or else for setting up the download? It's a bit hard to take on the chin especially when it's someone who is driving the development of AS at their own expense with scripts, help...

I was just thinking that if a mirror magnet tool was able to be done within a day of talking to Fazek, why not a point creation mirror tool. There is a mirror tool in Lightwave 3D and I use it ALL the time. The only thing that you have to keep in mind when modelling is to keep all your cental point...

It always crashes after i've used it two or three times.
Never before.

Yeah....I LOVE that script too and will always use it....but every now and then....bang! Other scripts are fine but still i'm like a cat on a hot tin roof when using them. I don't have memory handling problems. All I can say is AS works like a dream on my system till I try the Split curve script.......

I will use scripts if they are REALLY handy, but I'm currently having a bad experience with the Draw/Split curve script for AS. It actually crashes AS...but not all the time which is weird but enough to enforce a sense of mistrust. This is very frustrating and it's not my system that's to blame. My ...

Hi Dreeko.
I have been very busy with work and did'nt get to post that file yet. It is actually still unfinished but a fantastic improvement on the old technique.
When I get some time to finish the files off i will post them here in this thread to keep it all together.

Hi Dreeko.
I'd love to see your character when it's done.

Cheers

Hi Genete.
Are you suggesting imoprting a 3D object bones and all as per a Poser model?

Hi Rhoel. In that actual case, it would be nice to think they had tried to reject the animation for the perfectly legitimate reasons you suggested but in actual fact there are no characters talking in the ad. It's a simple hard sell TV commercial. They were actually reffering to a zoom shot onto an ...

Patrick that is fantastic!!! I like the fact that the nose is a more cartoon shape. It would be interesting to sit down a see how many nose and head shapes can be created with this technique.

Hehe...Slowtiger and Vern...you guys are spot on with those descriptions. I'm really sorry if I come across as being a bit cynical in my posts but i've had ten years of dealing with digital discrimination, like you have Vern, and i'm afraid i'm just a bit thin skinned these days. This forum is such ...

Well...I thought I would keep you all updated in case anyone reading is interested in this process of getting Animation on TV. I was contacted today by an official Tech from FreeTV (Australias Televisual regulatory body). He informed me that if I was making animation for television via a computer th...

Hey Squeaky. Good to hear from you! I tried using two legal broadcast colour filters. The one in Adobe Premier Pro completely destroyed all the colours in the whole TVC and same with Media Studio 8. I might try After Effects and see what happens. Thanks.
