No problem. Maybe (here we go, another 'good idea') a set of "states" instead of actions.



Hi Hugmyster,

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this.
Do you that you'd like the 'initial state' (stand/sit) options to be available alongside the animation options?
Wouldn't that get a little confusing?

Cheers,

Em.

Hi Em,

You're right. Even I'm confusing me now!!!

I think it's the fact that I had never spotted the simple box with "Stand/Sit" in it as 'movements.

And yes, it would get confusing, I agree.

Sorry if I'm baffling everyone - me included!]]> Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:37:11 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic325-character-wont-sit.aspx Message from Emily hugmyster wrote:

We kept the state change buttons separate to try and highlight the fact that they're different, but obviously we failed. Sorry. Blush

It's still a brilliant tool and I need to spend more time getting to grips with it. Read Report]]> Mon, 04 Oct 2010 13:22:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic325-character-wont-sit.aspx Message from Neil hugmyster wrote:
Why isn't the "sit" function (and the "stand" function) in the usual list along with all the other functions?

Because it puts the character into a different state, rather than plays an animation. If it was an animation, the character would be standing again when another animation was played afterwards.

That's where I've been looking all this time.

Hi,

Welcome to Muvizu!

The sitting/standing position is related to the initial state.

If you want your character to start in the sitting position, select the character, then go to Prepare>Animation. Click on the Initial state>Stand button and change the icon from standing to sitting.

If, however, you want your character to begin standing and then sit down later in your animation, you need to animate this. When you are ready for your character to sit, go to Direct>Animation, then hit the record button (it looks like a clapper board) then select the sit anitmation button.
It's on page 3.

If you are struggling with Muvizu, it's worth while to spend some time watching the tutorials.
This one deals with animation:



Hope that helps!




Thanks Emily - I was after that one! My character was being a bit of a pain too!
