Sorry, it was a silent pic. 🙂 I’d be happy to explain anything that wasn’t clear.

I wasn’t sure if you were talking about rendering to the editor window as opposed to the picture viewer. Sounds like the latter, in which case, as I said, “You designate which one you want to use by going into the viewport’s edit menu and selecting ‘use as render view.'”

Another option: put your starfield shader/bitmap in your material’s luminance channel and turn off the color and specular channels.

Okay, here’s the promised mini-tut: https://www.3danvil.com/tutorials/FatMorph/fatmorph.html
If you want to download the file you can replace the “.html” with “.swf”.

I think you can use a Rangemapper node to cut the rotation. Check the docs for specific instructions.

Oh, Cyslice–cool. 🙂
Hold on a sec, I’ll put together a quick and dirty vid tut for you.

It’s certainly possible. How easy or hard it will be will depend a lot on the quality of your model. 3d scans often result in iffy geometry in terms of having zillions of polygons, awkward triangulation, reversed normals, etc., etc.
There are a few ways you would approach it, or you could use a combination of:
*parametric deformers, such as the bulge, taper, and bend deformers;
*keyframed point-level animation (PLA);
*morphing (requires Mocca or a plugin).
As far as modeling the PLA/morph targets, I would use a lot of the Mesh Brush and the Magnet Tool.

All I did was create a circle path and a hexagon path (two path layers), then exported to Illustrator, and opened the *.ai file in Cinema.

I just tried it in CS2 and it worked fine. ?

[Rob] “i’m also wondering how the red balls (keyframes) work when it comes to animation. i have quicktimes that i’ve imported in the color and transparency sections. there are red balls, full, sometimes hollow but in the timeline i can’t see where these keyframes are. it would explain a lot as my files keep turning off/on and slipping in time. just wondering where these keys are when it comes to the animation section?”
If you’re in R10 try going into the Timeline’s View menu and turn on automatic mode and show animated. Then select “Go To Main Level”. That should make everything that has keyframes appear in the TL.
