A lot of people have asked me about that old bone morph trick.
It used to work, now it doesn't, you parent to a null, you don't parent... etc.
It's really very simple, but very effective none-the-less.

I put up a free tutorial video, MPG4 Quicktime, about 35MB if you like.

You can also access it direct from the http://www.3dgarage.com site,
front page, and free training page.

Hope that helps those of you that have sent emails.



Cheers,
Dan

Very cool tip Dan, thanks for sharing.
Most professional video I've seen yet too... leaves nothing out along the way, without getting off-track either :thumbsup:

(but, can somebody please think of the dial-up-ers!? ;))

Ah, thanks a lot.
I though 34MB was pretty good for a video that size and quality.
Unfortunately, I won't compress them to the point where you can't
see the interface, or have really bad pixelization -
The MPG4 has worked pretty well for size/quality.

sorry for dragging you OT...
I think you can reasonably achieve 1min/MB, my last two have been 2min/MB and have been pretty clear video. I know what its like though, once you get Broadband, there's no looking back. Personally, being a 56ker, I dont mind a a little bit of fuzz, about the quality of google Video and I'm happy. That's only for internet delivery of course... anything on CD etc, would be higher quality.

I'm sure it's possible, but I have to be honest, I don't think about dial up any more :(

Will definitely keep it in mind in future versions.
