This seems quite easy in my head, but the staff have yet to comment on if this is possible. Currently the little clips are keyframed in by the devs with set intervals between each tiny movement to build up the whole movement. It would need to be possible to have this as a variable timing.

I have already accomplished the turning wheel in key frame, in your modeling program you have to make sure you have the axis in the right position before you import it into muvizu, if we removed the physics from muvizu then we wouldn't have gravity which I myself find very useful,it saves us the time of animating a falling object and makes the job easier for all of us, the collision is useful also, what if we wanted something to impact with another object or when it falls and hit the ground, without collision the object will keep going, no impact, so at the point of collision that would be a cue point to animate or add an effect, and that's where your video editing software comes handy,but if I was to change anything for the collision, that would be to add a feature that will allow us to adjust the physic and collision, also you have to remember the purpose of muvizu, its was aimed at those who don't know much about animation, and gives a helpful push to those who always wanted to animated their own cartoon, you take that away from muvizu then you take away the ability to animate from those who needs it, so leave the actions in there, they are most needed, I'm sure the muvizu team have plans to add more actions, I have no problems with the timeline and see nothing that should be changed, for the dialogue to be multi, it is possible, i have done it in Alien grey, unless you want the character to say different thing at the same time, and for action in the time lines, not sure what you mean, but the further you place the key frames in the timeline the slower the animation will be, the closer the faster it will, if that's what you mean, i'm not trying to be a butt, but muvizu wasn't meant only for advance users, it was meant to help people do something that the always wanted to and didn't have the money to take learning classes, in fact muvizu is a class in it's self, so if muvizu isn't something that suits your needs then I would say look at toon Boom or some other advance animating software.

recent threads have made me want a new feature:
the ability to assign two (or more) different attachments to the same socket, then toggle between them with keyframes.

This would open a LOT of potential in ways too numerous to list

I agree wholeheartedly Clayster. Well put.

Another very useful post from Doby...oh wait a minute ...he hasn't made any so far.



My spidey sense tingles and tells me that the only people who agree with Clayster these days, are him and his imaginary son who is still at "Collage" (sic) . But thanks for the post....Dobyster.

You are quite right Clayster, I apologise for doubting the existence of your son.
But I would suggest that you send his siblings to a better educational institution. Unless they are keen on learning craft-based hobbies .
