Red Squad simply started as a test sequence of animations by Chris Kroznuski (Earth Link Zero creator) a few years ago, back when he first started dabbling in 3DS Max (oh, I should mention that stuff made in Max will appear in this thread as I cannot only show you half of the project). Over the last couple of years and 3 episode later, his skills have much improved and episode 4 is branching into things not seen in Red Squad before.

As they were tests, Red Squad was simply animated using Star Trek game models and the like and lacked any sort of character, other than text typed on a screen. Episode 3 however was supposed to incorporate actual character animation and voice overs, however due to time constraints and the release date continually being pushed back, that was scrapped and voices were recorded to go over the usual text (in somewhat of a rush I should add).

This is not the case with episode 4 though! Episode 4 is still early in its pre-production phase. The script is written and I've been working on building the characters and sets. We're looking at a release date of fall 2012 for this final installment which should prove to be considerably better then the previous episodes combined!

So without further to do, pics vids and stuff tongue.gif

Actually the best way to post work is to render it to a Quicktime file.

If you are using 64-bit A:M you may also want to install the 32-bit version so you can load your PRJ and render (Quicktime isn't available yet in 64-bit A:M)

You can have both A:Ms installed. copy the master0.lic file from the 64-bit A:M folder to the 32-bit A:M folder.]]> robcat2075 robcat2075 Thu, 03 May 2012 20:41:18 -0700 41626 Toonnation http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41652 http://www.toonnation.co.uk.

It's me again. I need to freeze a sprite system so a camera can move though it. Searching I found:

"Set initial velocity to zero."

Hmm... seems to me like in the chor you'd let the sprite system form then at some frame you'd 'set the initial velocity to zero' and maybe 'rate of emission' and 'spin' and ???? as well but this isn't working for me. Of course if I set these values in the material section... nothing happens in the chor (as one would suspect). However, sprite systems are tricky devils and I haven't played with them for many years.

Is there a way to do it? And pretend I'm a complete idiot and assume I know nothing (I need where, how, when and why). Are there any tutorials on this?

I've attached the prototype I'm working with: a zip with the project and the image (which may need relinking in the project).

In short.
There was nothing at the beginning. Two loons decided to dive into see to get the earth out on the surface. They dived deep and long and finally managed to get the earth from the very bottom. On the surface of the see it started to grow bigger and bigger till a man could live on it.

this First image was rendered using only blub lights with 16 buffers.
render time 4 mins
