New Website Everyone here works hard on the videos they create, with DigiFactor every video that is submitted to the site is special, and so they are treated special and never forgotten, each video gets a feature called panels, so for every video it has it's own panel and that becomes it's home on DigiFactor, each panel contains the thumbnail of the video along with the title and the name of the creator, the panels does a lot more then just containing the Video's info, it also gives the video the ability to receive badges and promotions as seen in the image below



Let's say if a video is selected as a featured videos and posted on the home page, well that video will get a Featured Badge on it's panel just like in the image of Speed Boat Tease, or if a video gets a 5 star rating then it will gain a 5 star badge, and if a video was entered in a contest and wins a place, then it will gain award badge for that placement, also if you make a video for a holiday then what ever holiday that video is about will get a badge for that holiday, the best thing about this feature is that the badges never go away, so each video will always contain it's popularity, and that's special to DigiFactor!

Not only does it get a panel, each video will have it's little view area where it can be watched, so just click on the thumbnail of the video in it's panel to go to it's viewing area like the image below!




In the viewing area you will also see that video never stops getting special treatments, like a star rating in which the video gains its 5 star badge when it gets all 5 stars, and also everyone can comment on every video!

so if your looking to share your videos else where, and want to join a new community then consider DigiFactor Animation!

Already Own it, but need to move licence to new PC Go to the muvizu file location which is C:\Program Files\Muvizu Play,then open up muvizuGame folder, you should see a Licence folder with a Licence key inside, copy that folder on to a usb memory stick or cd,then in your new computer install Muvizu, and go back to C:\Program Files\Muvizu Play and paste the Licence file back into the MuvizuGame folder, close everything out and start up Muvizu, it should then say Muvizu Play+.


Hope that helped!

Finger Pistols Are Dangerous: Episode 2 Ok here is episode 2 (Red Dead Returns)

Well it all seem quiet in the Town of Darewood after the Marshall killed off Red Dead and his gang, But the dead wants to settle the score, the only thing is a love for a woman changes everything, now it's an all out western Train chase to rescue her!

Finger Pistols are Dangerous: Episode 1 (The Gunle Episode 2 is coming along slow but really good, so far I'm really happy with the progress it is taking, with new music and one new voice actor, and a new key frame technique for the chase scene, I just wished that there were more of me to get it done quicker, the only thing slowing it down is work but that's ok, the longer the better!

Indy Jones and the Temple of Zu Hey everyone, glad to see site back up, I know its been a while since I posted this video, part 2 still lingers on my hard drive but with work keeping me really busy I just hadn't had time to work on it in a while, but there seems to be some free time coming my way when they get all of the new employees trained lol, then maybe I can do some more work on it!

How impressive to see what can be done when creating new sets and props and whatever the director wants is not an issue when one has got graphic skills as Clayster has.

The temple is simply awesome.

Whenever I make a Muvizu project I have to be content with the existing sets and things and most often the story must be changed to what is possible with the available stuff.
Don't get me wrong, however - making any project is always fun.

Therefore I very much appreciate all the great "stuff" made available by the graphics wizards in this forum - and from the Muvizu developers too. Thank you!

Looking forward to the next part of Indy's quest for the mystic Mr. Clayster ...

Thanks for those kind words ritsmer, I'm sure you will see the rest soon!

yeah, Clayster's sets and attachments always capture the perfect look for his videos. I'd like to see a "dream team" of Muvizu creators band together to bring all the best skills to one project. There are so many hats that need to be worn that it is hard for one person to do everything

Count me In!

That's true, Clay. Your videos are awesome in every way except sound quality. Whatever mic you are using has problems. There are some good USB mics that don't cost a lot... search for SNOWBALL USB ... I've seen them for as little as $39, but you can buy them at many online stores for under $100

The main things to keep in mind when recording sound:

1) minimize room reflection with blankets or wall treatment (that's why radio stations and recording studios have acoustic foam on the walls). Failure to do this will almost certainly introduce a reverb-like attribute that can't be removed. It sounds like the speaker is in a barrel

2) High background hiss can come from poor mic quality, but it can also come from recording at too low a volume, then boosting the volume later (which also amplifies the hiss). When recording dialog, you can judge the quality of your signal by the graphical image of the WAV. It should fill about 80% of the area it fits in, but it should never get so large that the top and bottom flatten out. That's called CLIPPING, and once it happens, the sound will be distorted and can't be fixed.

A good full-formed WAV recorded with a hiss-free mic should generate dialog free from background noise.


well pat the reverb-like is because I was trying to mimic the sound of being in a cave to give that tomb like sound, but my mic was in bad shape thanks to my dog, I think that's why you hear hissing, but I should have my new mic come in in a few days, so the next part will be better i hope, Ill try some of those tips pat thanks!

Yea sorry for the bad audio, when you have dogs and they like to chew things and I forget that they do, stupid me leaves wires laying around and he chews my good mice wires, i ordered a new mic from Amazon so part two will have better audio, and I will redo the recording for part two, I would of waited until the new mic came in, but my sister who played The spirit guard of Zu with the riddle was so cant wait to get it started so I took a chance, and its been a while since I made a video, so part two will have better Audio!

Let me say first of all that I was shocked to learn about Muvizu, and that I'm sorry for the Muvizu users. Muvizu wasn't for me, but I always considered it a sympathetic product. Hopefully a buyer can be found and so that the product will continue.

So while I understand you are upset, why trash other products? iClone users like myself have feelings too. In the hands of a talented person iClone is very capable and it is continuously improving, but it's different from Muvizu, which is only a good thing. I don't believe in animation having to look a particular way. Diversity is the key.

I'm not good at fights over primacy. You do not know me well enough to understand the extent of my words. If I want and I can spend time in animation I would never choose any of the programs under discussion. I would choose those the professionals use. And yes I am capable of doing it. As an amateur my time is limited so I use the tools that guarantee me better efficiency. Iclone is certainly very good. Animating avatars so similar to humans is no easy task and requires hardware features that most users do not have. Otherwise what you see is the ice faces of most Iclone videos on internet. Show me one that not suffer from that disease. A cartoon is always a cartoon. In my opinion most fun and funny. If I want to make an animated film with humans, I choose real humans. Iclone is a good business tool. You buy it and keep buying an amount of packs to complete it. Meanwhile in this frenzy of improvements the user deviate from his goal and the fever is to acquire a better machine, or another pack but none of this substantially improves the speed with which animation is produced.
I respect all forms of animation. I love the originals. In fact none of them are usually made with these programs including Muvizu itself.


Right on Rodrisilva nicely said!
