Well that sucks. I was about to start making that scene. I thought I had got a new feature that was just what I needed.]]> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 07:31:28 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1143-changing-moods.aspx Message from Wizaerd RightURKen wrote:

A bug? Am I understanding you right? This new way is an improvement , not a bug. It gives the user a way to control emotions no matter the action.

For example before the characters would always look angry when using a fight action. But for my current project I need to have a character to look scared while fighting. I can do that now. It's perfect.

In the Prepare Actions screen, for some reason the character retains its initial mood no matter what action you give him. So he grins even though he's slouching his shoulders and kicking the ground which is a sad motion.

In the Direct Actions screen, when you hit, for instance, and angry action, the character will perform the action but then return to the initial mood. If you want him to remain angry, you'd hit assign him an angry idle action after the first angry action.

I hope this helps.]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:26:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic1143-changing-moods.aspx Message from Wizaerd
However, as I understand it, in the Prepare Character Actions, you can set an initial mood. During the course of directing, if I choose an action or pose from another mood, should the character then change to that mood? According to the tutorials 13 & 14, I believe this to be the case. But when I attempt it myself, he stays in his Happy mood, with that big ole goofy grin. Please tell me if I am doing something incorrecctly?]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 06:23:45 GMT
