IQ n clarification of different formats

 Just so I wont forget, note from MB class last year


1)VSK's are made from ROM files( range of motions). These are the smaller X2D files that are easy to recognize since they all have the word ROM in them. (ex. JSN_ROM_001 etc). You fill those and calibrate them, and then export them to VSK's with the same exact Rom Name(ex. JSN_ROM_001.vsk)

2) Game moves, or capture files, are basically every OTHER x2D file we captured with actual game moves on them. These captures are easy to find as well since they all have CAP in the file name, and these x2d's are also much bigger than roms in size. (ex. sh001_cap_001_t001, etc) You label and fill these as well but instead of calibrating and exporting as vsk's, you simply export these as c3D files. (Go to File--> Export and make sure in the c3d option box export unlabeled trajectories is on NO)

Thats pretty much the two file types, VSK's and C3d's that we export from IQ. Some people got confused when we threw the word trials out there. A trial file is just what IQ makes when we work in it. Everything we do in IQ for the most part is in Trial file format, and then saved/exported out in other formats. EVERY time you save an x2d file you are working on IQ creates a trial file with the same name.

MentalRay Gets Bitchy On Transparency Map

http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=158984 If this transparancy map is a file texture and you are using maya 2008 then you will need to check the "alpha is luminance" flag in the file texture attributes. This is an assumed default for the software renderer, but not for mentalray. this is a new setting turned off by default in maya 2008 hope this helps

Story Board, revised version

Image
OS: everybody has highs and lows OS: But like other ten millions, I am facing something different OS:Bipolar disorder is a real illness, like cancer or diabetes OS:The chemical imbalance in my brain makes my moods and energy shift OS: severely. OS: For people like me, life is a repeat cycle OS:Between Mania OS: and depression OS: medical treatment is key OS: However, finding the right one, is challenging OS: People talk behind us, saying that we are crazy. OS: We are not. we are just fighting a life-long battle that we been forced to fight OS: you may not understand OS: but you can be a friend So this is the storyboard I've been working on this weekend. Ideally it will be a piece that combines motion graphic and 3d visual effect. Sorry if some transitions in between is not very clear right now. It took me a long time trying to make it informative and making sense in a way. I also took the suggestion of Ethan from midterm presentation and tried to make the OS sounds more personal.
