Would it be possible for me to specify say 10 images for a single material and randomly assign it?

I'm at the early planning stage for creating a game with Unity.

For those of you that have already made games (especially for iOS), on average how big are your game levels in X and Y?

Cheers

I animated a movie projector with the film reels spinning. All was well when I rendered it, the wheel spin was smooth as just as the it showed in the Cheetah animation.
I made some changes to the reels and now when I render it, the motion is jerky. I am at a loss to explain this as I have not changed the render settings.

Just some thing that I've come up against... if it's true that in making a model to animate, the model should be all one piece (not made up of different objects ie) what happens when it comes to animating eyes??? the eyes are usually two separate balls that are added to the model... :confused: so how are eyes made to be part of animation that is supposed to me all one....:frown: ]]> General Son of Kong http://cheetah3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8473 Mixing Materials?

Is it possible to have text appear as one material on top of a different material? In this thread, archie describes a great technique for putting text on top of an image texture. It's also easy to use the mix node to put text of a particular color on top of a material. But what if I already have two materials and wish to make text with one material appear on top of an object with another material?

Basically, if I could mix two materials the way I can mix a color with a material, I think I'd be in business. Anyone have any ideas? Am I overlooking something obvious?

been quite inactive on the forums lately but kept on using Cheetah3D for both fun (too little) and work... here's some icons I made recently, all of them are a combo of 3D renderings (C3D) and 2D post/compositing (PS CS5).

I know they're not the usual icon you would expect for a Mc app or plugin but I managed to create this kind of personal style that I enjoy doing and the clients (some friends of mine) do appreciate... (more to come)

bests,
Alessandro

HDRI+radiosity that really shows off the renderer that they can send me a screenshot of? Credit will, of course, be given.

I've got nothing here that hasn't been used before.

Your particle mesh should have at least one child.

Edit: the script was updated with the latest tg_jp's edit: now it does not produce additional nested folders.

From what I remember Brian was largely using Infini-d to produce the 3d elements and even when I look at them now, over 10 years later, they're impressive renders to say the least.

http://www.rustboy.com/other/desktops/rain800.jpg

So I guess my question is how capable is Cheetah in comparison to what Infini-d was when it still existed? (I know it sort of lives on in the form of Cararra now but it seems to have a different purpose). I know Infini-d wasn't one of the high end apps at the time but looking at the rustboy renders it seems to have some pretty complex stuff for the time (fire? volumetric lighting, animated textures/bumps etc etc). Or was it effectively a case of Brian knowing Infini-d so well that he simply had very effective workarounds for any shortcomings that it had? ]]> General novolume http://cheetah3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8468
