Subject: OK---What do I do next???

Alright, I got the lizard to move to the music. The SFX I want are supposed to be a series of TH0R's Jacob's Ladders climing up his arm and a final Lightning Strike as he breathes. Only problem is: RayDream's not cooperating (I'm using P3, as P4 can't be imported) & there's no SOUND!!! What can I do?? Import the lightning as random objects from RDD -- only they won't have any glow? Or finish up in RDD -- only with out the music? (The dragon is Zygote's. The music is from B5's 2nd season title. The stuntman catching the lightning bolt {off camera} is not getting paid enough. And this all keeps eating up disk space while I'm looking for a combination that will work like I want!)

Hi Couldn't you render it in RDS then take it into a video editing program and add your sound file? I thought you could use sound in RDS, but I may be wrong. Ed

I have no trouble importing P4 scenes into RDS. I only have P4 and I import into RDS often enough.

I just got a host for my files. It'll take me a little while to gloss up the site, but use the following address to download the mpeg. (the colors are a little darker than the orignal avi, but it's very close -- I like the mpeg better, but I don't like the fact the avi->mpg converter changed it so much.) http://www.fortunecity.com/tatooine/mccaffrey/563/bluedragon.w.snd.m2p.zip Yes, it does render in RDD, but the quality was horrible compared to the Poser render. As for sound, I couldn't find any reference in the RDD manual. I guess I can resynch the motion [but it was hard enough to do in Poser, I cringe at the thought ;)]

What codec did you use? I don't have the right codec to open your file Ed


CatLord&Dragon ( ) posted Tue, 15 February 2000 at 6:47 PM

I wish I could tell you. My Windows Mediaviewer automatically downloaded the codec. The avi2mpg conversion was done using avi2mpeg by Darim Vision Co., Ltd. I set it to convert to Mpeg2ProgramStream in the advanced DVMPEG Properties(the only setting that would properly convert -- ) The playback was on the MSmedia & it automatically downloaded. The MSmedia View/Options/Advanced shows it's set for Streaming Media from RealVideo. I hope that helps you read it. {aren't non-standard "Standards" wonderful?;/}

To the person edw that cannot view the file. Change the extension from m2p to mpg and windows media player will play it. Don Murphy
