Upon further review.. I see that the texture that they gave with the shorts is only a template. I suppose you 'paint' over the lines and that hides them? I still have no idea what that weird garter belt thing is. Anyone else get the shorts yet?

I just re-loaded the shorts to try and figure out why those lines are appearing. They only appear when I add the texture. I tried using the texture as a bump map instead and I got this weird artifact that you see just above the shorts. When Michael is in the scene it appears as part of his skin and is aligned with the joint between his chest and stomach?? Weird

Ah ha! Good call I just re-installed everything after having to reformat because of WindowsMe. I must have hit depth-cueing when I was turning on full speed tracking. (I don't even know what it's for?) I rendered again and it's fine..except those lines are still appearing on the shorts? (shorts are free at zygote today for anyone who has Michael) Thanks for the help Jeff

Anyone familiar with Jamie.. from "Big Brother" ?

You can use the music wav by recording a voice-alone version with the same tempo. Use this to make your animation. Export the animation as .jpg's and import them into a Flash 'movie' symbol. then add a new layer and import the wav with the music background.

I asked about it on Traveller's new message boards and he said he's going to repost it soon. Thanks

You better get a website! Thanks for the link

Your dragon looks great Do you have a link for that 'illusion' software?

Here's Jessica Spiegel's tutorial on it She used it to create a Flash Yahtzee game

It's the same file I posted earlier http://3dthrills.com/babycakes The baby may be thinner though.. it still hasn't eaten

Great tool to have, especially if you're creating things for CD or possibly a 'kiosk' situation, where you don't have to transfer bandwidth. Flash is said to be better for Internet purposes, where optimizing file size is an important issue.

Macromedia is very close-lipped about the statistics on this. They'll brag about Flash being 'ubiquitious', or that 90% of websurfers can see Flash... but they get quiet if you ask what percentage can see Flash4. If you search the MM site you can eventually see these stats: It seems that around half the people don't have Flash4. I'm sure most of them have been to sites that 'suggested' that they install it.. but these people have declined. Flash3 comes installed with the 4.0 browsers. Netscape 4.7 and the newest release of MSIE have the Flash4 player. I dislike the way that Macromedia deceives people into exploring the shockwave.com website, after they've installed the Flash4 player plug-in. They make it appear as though it is part of the installation process. "Your player is installed when you see the animation above.. you may now click on the link to visit Shockwave.com" ...when you would prefer that the person return to your site, instead of getting lost in shockwave.com until their browser crashes and your site is forgotten. Because of that.. I went back to creating sites that I save as Flash3 sites. This way everyone can see them, without needing any plug-in, (unless they are real dinosaurs, with a 3.0 browser) FreeToys WelcomeSite BestDeelz You can still make pretty cool sites, even without the advanced actionscripting or MP3 compression of Flash4. Once the person has seen most of my site, I then begin incorporating elements of Flash4, as in this puzzle ... or the song that plays on 3dthrills

You're right though, Virginthirteen, That 'reject' example is entirely vector images. The Marina looks just like that 'drawing'. They recently made everything into 'Native Huts' My latest site is a better example of a site with all bitmaps and no vector 3dthrills (What there is of it!) I've got a vision for Flash and 3D.
