looking goood!

[acquiesse]

wow, what?! how?!

that is very cool, but i'm to ignorant to know how you did it

[SunlightRocker]

Easy, I just made a map like this:


Converted it to a .mxi.

Applied it to my model. Scaled the UVs and then keyFramed the UV-positions.

That is very clever... I don't think I can do it in Rhino yet though! Maybe with version 4....

You could very well use this for alot of animation lighting tricks! ie; a train passing by is what I thought almost immidiately.

pretty cool fx.. I like it..

the forums are having a creative peak today, haven't we. Cool stuff SLR.

Very innovative! I'm thinking of various different ways to use this - such as animating a computer screen - Of course you would need a VERY long bitmap of screenshots stringed together.... It would end up looking like a strip of old-fashioned film...

Thanks

Yeah, I tought of that to, but easier would be if NL would listen to my wish:

Agreed! I recall requesting the implementation of animated maps (via either video file or image sequence) way back in the Alpha days....

I am trying to mimick the same thing so i screen grabbed your image form the post and cropped and saved it into a photoshop rgb JPG file.

Then I created a poly plane 1uv each way. Assigned a Maxwell material to it then removed a layer, added an emmiter, changed it from luminense to texture and assigned the image as a mxi texture emmitter.

When I render it using a multi light no matter what the intensity of the texture emmtiter it always comes out all sparkly. Even if I load a black and white photoshop file (RGB mode) it still gives a really bright multisparkled effect.

Am I doing something major wrong?
Thanks for any tips

wonderful!!!

It's a question of the Rhinoll plugin. This kind of animation can be done with other render engines now. Will rhinoll for Rhino 4 support animations?

Nice animation and good idea.

p3tamaxwell:
Did you really open the -jpg in the renderer and resave it as an .mxi?
Cuz when you try to set an .jpg as lightsource for the emitter, it renders
all sparkly.

Thanks all.
