I asked about that very thing about a year ago. I wanted to create a crowd like you see in those mega movie battle scenes. You could change the emitter to a short animation of a person but that would be tricky to keep the scene integrity. I haven’t figured it out yet. Thee are ways to do it apparently with very expensive software that I will not be buying.

Thanks Alan. I have learned to believe that absolutely anything is do-able. It may not turn out perfectly but, yo’re right, it may be good enough for me. I am not discouraged. I’ll try it.

You may want to check out Particle Illusion Fusion as well. Aharon, wouldn’t say it but I will. His training DVD is an excellent way to learn the interface along with some very cool techniques. Beginner or not. That’s my .0175 Euros.

I’ll take a shot at this 🙂
You can create one set of the turnstyle arms (say, North and South or along the x-axis). Duplicate it and in 3D mode make them perpediclular as they are in real-life.
To animate them, parent one to the other and then parent the parent to a Null objet. You would then only have to rotate the Null along the Y-axis.
Someone may have an easier or better explanation but If you’re not doing it in a 3D app, that’s the way I’d go.

Glad you got it to work. It is a very cool app. You may want to scan the book and browse some of the tutorials. I dont use it for everything but I can always find some use for it in my projects.

Thanks Elvis. I can see anything longer than a few secs could be very taxing. Thanks for the info. I’ll check out that section in the help files again.

You first must Convert the AI file to Outlines. Select the text (or shape) then go to ‘Type’ in the toolbar and then Convert to Outlines. Save the file as a an AI file. In Invig, select the option you want (Open an Illustrator File). A pop up window will open. You point to the file and it will be transferred and converted from Outlines to a 3D object. You don’t manually bring the file in. Let the program find it and import it. From there, it’s all you. Tweak away. I hope that helps and is clear enough.

I agree. I haven’t even pulled the project files (although I may at some point). You really don’t need them.

You should really post this in the Zaxwerks forum but it may have something to do with your video card. They would be better able to work out the problem.
Good Luck
I had a similar problem previously with my Matrox Parhelia. You may be having a similar issue.

Well Done buddy. I just got it today and just watched the first 3 sections. I already learned a lot. I can tell this will be well worth it. I think it’ll make me use PI a lot more than I have in the last several months.
