Hello Everybody,
I'm new in this forum. I started to try some experiments with MOHO, Mirage and LightWave and here's the link of my first animation test.

Looks nice -- but I always thought animation moved...? (All I could see was a still image)

Dear jahnpcli,
In the protopage click in "Test Animation MOHO-LIGHTWAVE-MIRAGE" under My Videos's Window. You will resend to the video.

Ha ha! That was great! But if you want criticism...the tiger lacked weight -- looked like he was floating above the ground. And the pink devil thing could have moved more (it was funny when he moved his head backwards and forwards in a "funky" fashion, for instance).
Overall though, a really nice piece of work. Keep it coming!

You're right!. It was only a test. The walk is hardly floating because I used a QuikckTime 15 fps file as background from my natural shaking handcam (next time I will use Boujou to track the cam) and no shadows applied to it. And The devil, I agree with you. It needs more moves. The focus of the test was the "look" melting Moho-Mirage and LW.

Just a thought...
If you're already using Mirage for things like rotoscoping, you might want to try getting your hands on a copy of Shake. Apple recently dropped the price to $499 from the original $3000 price tag.
If I remember correctly, the software has tools in it for image stabilization through pixel tracking, along with several other goodies that could prove useful for animation.
