Big Mistake was : Another New Tutorial Online - Basic Camera Matching in RS3D
Oh Boy : Mistake in that Icarus tutorial . Sorry . I was suggesting using Voodoo to determine Focal Length first , but in the end it doesn't seem to be required . Seems you can punch-in just about any Focal Length in Icarus , and the camera that RS3D creates will always turn out almost the exact same . Oddly , the placement of CGI objects do match the camera very well , but sometimes perspectives do not match , and so then we must adjust the lens , and then CGI objects seem to no longer track properly . I'll have to go back and re-do that tutorial , once I figure out how to best arrive at a good camera . May take a while . Tried the basic steps in Arjo's tutorial with no luck . http://rs3dwiki.the-final.info/index.php?title=Real_life_and_3D_camera_matching Perhaps Icarus is best for scenes where perspective mis- matching is not so obvious , and SynthEyes for more demanding work ? Apologies to anyone who unsuccesfully attempted to apply the tutorial's suggestions , to their own video , without any success . studio Hi Garry, Interesting tutorial, I've been looking at Icarus too. However I'm still in doubt about another solution as I'm not satisfied about the results I got. Maybe I made some mistakes, I don't know. Hi Arjo : Yes , Icarus can be hard to use and in fact , I could not do the Voodoo .TGA image sequence example , with Icarus alone! I had no luck with Icarus's attempt to guess at what the Focal Length of the camera was , so turned to Voodoo to find out . This is the flaw in Icarus . Fine for some video , but no good for others . That is why I strongly suggest using Voodoo to determine what the Focal length is (unless you already know the Focal Length) and use Icarus to match that Camera . Actually I'm thinking about buying Syntheyes. This was the cheepest commercial software I could find (with Realsoft export). I tried the demo and I got rock solid result with one push of the button. Yes , as I mention in the Tutorial , SynthEyes looks very good from the demo and the example script that is available for download . It will be my next S/W purchase , I think . At last, I've got some questions about your tutorial: Why did you leave out the first step mentioned by the user guide? I mean: is the destortion correction done by the distortion module not needed? I would say that usually it is not needed , unless you are building something that will really show a lack of distortion . For instance , say you are placing a long billboard into a video with a long or high fence . The fence will be distorted a little , but your RS3D billboard will not be . Then you must decide if you want to remove the video's distortion with Icarus . It will also depend on what kind of lens was used to shoot the video . As you know , wide-angle lens's will distort more . Icarus seems to do a good job with this Module, depending on how accurately you can place your input line onto your video . Why did you skip the calibration step? We skipped the Camera Calibration step in Icarus , simply because we did that step in Voodoo , first . Voodoo's Track includes the calibration step in one single button . We typed the Voodoo calibration info that we needed , into Icarus , to avoid Icarus's weak spot . Did you skip the orientation step on purpose? I couldn't get a good result with that option. Arjo. Yes , it was the Achilles heal of Icarus , in my opinion . Many of my tests proved Icarus to be completely useless when used alone on a lot of video's , thus , the tutorial's birth . The problem is that Icarus asks the user to manually draw onto a 2D image ,where the X-Y-Z planes are ! This is OK for the Icarus building example (in the Docs) , but try that with an average video scene . You could be out just a single pixel or 2 and it will change the calibration completely ! Then , Icarus will ask you is this the correct Focal Length? . How should I know ? Sometimes Icarus will tell you that the Camera cannot be calculated , even though you did your best to draw the 3 axis . Now what ? It's a joke . The only solution is to use Voodoo first . (or restrict your video's to shots with nice big sharp cubes in them) . Voodoo is a much more advanced S/W , as the current crop of camera-matching S/W's are now . Thanks for your questions Arjo , and I hope you do decide to buy SynthEyes instead . It looks like a good price and an excellent alternative to my humble freeware workaround tutorial . For those that just want to try placing an RS3D object into their video's , hopefully this tutorial will allow them to experiment a little first . studio Hi : http://studiodynamics.net/cam_match/camera_matching.html Thought I would share this information , since it may be usefull to someone .

Re: Another New Tutorial Online - Basic Camera Matching in RS3D
Hi studio, This time bingo with AVI file , good !! About video: Have a look at www.gromada.com , = VideoMach 3.5. Maybe a good choice ( and cheap +/- 30$ ) A question to Vesa: Is RS3D ready to use with windows vista , i think it is because at this moment i use XP 32/64 prof. Best.

Yes, you can easily upload images to a wiki, you can even use HTML formatting in your articles.

I'm sure most people here have a lot more experience with HTML than Wiki markup. If the HTML could be used, you could also direct copy over HTML tutes.

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
Wiki related, now Garrys Tutorial is set up right as todays reference: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/The_Amazing_Light_Sensitivity_Shader create an account and have a look at it, but only modify if really needed. Make sure you understand the structure. If you're uploading images, make sure that you use a low filesize (not more than 70kb per image). (I'm using XNView, with compression set to 60.) Try always to explain your steps in text form (Search engines love text) Use no images, if not really needed. Link to other related Articles instead of writing twice. Think about the following: We have now ~150MB (ok, I can get much more for free, but) One article needs 250kb for images This gives only 600 articles. Please have this in mind.

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader)
Good one Garry, But I think it should be on the Realsoft info tutorial collection. Arjo. Hi Arjo : It could go there too , but the last article I wrote , the Planetary Shader article , never made it on that site , but did get a link placed there instead . Personally , I would like to see the Wiki contain all the available Realsoft3D tutorials and articles , with the authors' permission of course . Realsoft.info has a great collection , but they are not cat- agorized like the wiki already is , and they are locked anyway . For me it is already a lot of fun to visit the wiki and see what awesome information has been added ... while I slept .

Re: New Tutorial online ! (light sensitivity shader) == to the WIKI ....
Hi Gary, Either or - Matthias has been generous with the space. He has a buddy who has a host type company [ I think ]. So images and that are no prob. I reckon - look at Fredriks recent email about How to's - Ill pop it in below this. Wiki's, Content Management Systems and all that - different things come up every day. Dive in dont be afraid, spend a small bit of time working out how the WIKI works. Ask Fredrik / Fre_ber about it - he just added the main headings and that. When I get a moment I will have a look at it and do up some sort of Dummies Guide once I figure it out - my interpretation. Don't let that stop anyone else doing the same. Delay in mail - I was out playing one of my weekly gigs. Plus the weekend is stuffed - Time with Wife - she away during Weeks at mo. We will have a new Solicitor / Lawyer in a while :) And my Nieces Birthday - so Will get at it. BUT DIVE IN :) You could try the link idea first, then as your confidence grows try the full tute. Best way to figure it out - MAKE MISTAKES, better that than not doing at all. Cheers Aidan FREDRIKS MAIL: I have taken the liberty of adding some skeleton pages. I remember that the biggest obstacle I had to overcome, when starting to use a wiki, was the fear of trashing something. I was used to reading other peoples web pages, but not actually _changing_ other peoples web pages. However, this is what a wiki is all about. All pages are automatically kept under version control - no matter what somebody does, intentionally or otherwise, the changes can always be reverted back to the previous state. So feel free to dig in and add/change stuff as much as you possibly can. After a while, it is probably useful to lock the main page from changes. This way, the impact of malicious editing can be reduced, but before we can do that we have to agree on the look and contents of it. I copied a small part of the mediawiki documentation into the help page: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Help:Contents and a few examples in the sandbox: http://rswiki.matthias-kappenberg.de/index.php/Sandbox Just create an account and start publishing - there are no excuses now. ;) Regards, Fredrik Bergholtz At 21:58 03/02/2006, you wrote: http://www.studiodynamics.net/saved/lightsens1.html Great tute and just in time for the Wiki that Matthias has popped up.

Re: New Tutorial online: Creator with Lattice-Deformer
Hi Matthias.. Thx for the offer.. Sorry though.. since its more my situation in life than anything else that makes it this way.. which does that it dont make it easier even if it would be a teamwork.. Just thinking about how I have not contributed much at all in the Community Anim project, that Frank started out (in which he has put alot of work into, helped by Endre and some other ppl..) I feel I have let them down..=( ...(It was a cool Sci-fi inspired story..which I like alot... but even if I liked it alot, my situation makes it difficult to do stuff ...) I agree alot we with you, about that RS in many ways are very different in its workflow, that users would gain alot with RS specific tutorials.. especially some larger project based tutorials, on different topics... Such that gets you inspired, and makes you learn things in a fun way, and also in more depth, from Start to End of a Themed project tutorial... btw.. Some of my minituts on the list over the years.. has become done after ppl asked how this and that works in RS.. or they have presented a problem.. This have many times inspired me to then do a minitut... But these questions or requests has decrease in a long time now... and only at time come up.. far apart.. Lets now see if I can get focused and start on that Mini Tut on my NurbsCurve Character..walking and such phew.. Take Care Best Regards Stefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) A Proud Owner and User of Real3D and Realsoft3D.. I have had tons of pretty good ideas and stories for anims.. which have all just stayed as plans.. So I bet, as it is now, if I had super duper tools to animate with.. I would still do my test anims.. =).. Hope this will change rather sooner than later.. =(.. ( but dunno.. since I seems to have said this too long now already..) Hi Stefan, if you're interested, you can write down your story and then let's do the modelling and animation tasks in a team work. Then it should be possible to write some tuts on the fly, like a make of. This can be very useful for all of us. It's often a hard job to transfer the workflows from other 3d-apps tutorials to RS, and then the result is often called workaround, because the structure of RS is different to the other 3D-app. Head up and kick yourself, Matthias

Re: New Tutorial online: Creator with Lattice-Deformer
Hi Matthias, I tried your tute. Thanks for that, nice for water droplets, blood platelets etc. Probably ignorance, but I notice if after doing all the bits you stated, if you re edit the shape of the lattice, to deform the sphere differently, it seems to maintain the shape of the previous lattice shape also ... best I can describe. Is each deform process that you have in your tute just good for one round? If so and you want to edit the lattice again, do you have to start all over? I think I know the answer, but ill see what you say :) Is this enable / disable Simulation thing a bug I wonder?

Re: New Tutorial online: Creator with Lattice-Deformer
Hi Matthias.. Thx for sharing... The tut is nice and clear... At times I wish the workflow of the constructors were as clear...=).. Only thing, as Brian (Zaug) pointed out... But Hey, its not a big deal.. and if I would want, I would just myself add them to a single page.. have done other editing on other stuff I have fetched from the net.. and so on..to fit my way of working or reading them..=) (which I am sure others do as well..at times) Here is an example.. Lattice Metaball Creator AnalyticSphere (Bound to the Lattice, and has there for only ONE chor inside its .init chor, (3d lattice1 -- lattice1) If you Manually Drag the AnalyticSphere through the Lattice cage.. it deforms nicely... as it should.. But if you play the animation, so the Creator spray out AnalyticSpheres ...those wont be deformed.. =) (and therefor not the MetaBall Mesh..) (Note: At this stage, the Creator works, ..that is.. it sprays out AnalyticSpheres.. without having to set the Simulation for anything) You now need to add a Simulation Chor and place it before the (3d lattice1 -- lattice1) Chor to get the Deformation to work as it should..(and it does.. as you also have pointed out in your nice Tut) (Note2: If you now, Delete this Simulation Chor, the Creator sometimes Stops working =), and also the deformation..accordingly, which is odd when it worked without any chor at all Prior to adding the Simulation Chor =), ..) Well when it works.. then its very powerful.. Especially this setup to create Metaball stuff, with Creator and then Deform and bend and noise it up with different constructors (even animated Constructors..)

Re: New Tutorial online: Creator with Lattice-Deformer
Hi Aidan, go to frame 0 (to reset the creator) disable construct for the lattice, edit the lattice enable construct for the lattice, play the anim ;-) Thx for this, I'll add this hint :-) No, this simulation is not a buck in my opinion, it's a result of RS hirachical animation system. You should always have a look at the anim structure. You can set the last anim step, too. Try different anims on an object, then use CRTL+LMB click on a anim in the choreography window. The marker should switch to the clicked anim, which is then the last executed anim. All anims below this will be ignored when playing your animation. Very useful on complex anims.

Thanks for that, nice for water droplets, blood platelets etc. Probably ignorance, but I notice if after doing all the bits you stated, if you re edit the shape of the lattice, to deform the sphere differently, it seems to maintain the shape of the previous lattice shape also ... best I can describe. Is each deform process that you have in your tute just good for one round? If so and you want to edit the lattice again, do you have to start all over? I think I know the answer, but ill see what you say :) Is this enable / disable Simulation thing a bug I wonder?

Re: New Tutorial online - planetary.zip
1) Load a project or just start RS (startup.r3d will load) . 2) Select Load Startup . 3) Look in your Material Window (only aluminum?) but if I use RMB in the Material-tab and select sort alphabetically all materials are visible and at the right place.

Nice tut Garry! Now that you mentioned my cloud scetches, it came to me that I never showed where I ended up http://staff.csc.fi/jyrki.hokkanen/cloud_s.wmv (lower quality but more universal mpeg1 format here: http://staff.csc.fi/jyrki.hokkanen/cloud_s.mpg) Another outdated issue - remember the Sibenic cathedral GI-renders? Well I also rendered the Sponza Atrium http://staff.csc.fi/jyrki.hokkanen/sponza1.jpg One spotlight (sun) and a blue sphere (sky) are the only light sources used.

Re: New Tutorial online - planetary.zip
Sorry about the double post, I thought I got the one witht the spelling error stopped in time. Anyway, this post is, actually, to ask if anyone else is experiencing objects not being visible ( including newly created ones) after loading , even just the objects section of, Garry's project. I am wondering if this is a Linux RS version realted issue. No big deal just strange.

Re: New tutorial
Off the topic but, on learning that i was not alone on this south sea kiwi island, I wondered about a National Convention of New Zealand Realsoft List members ... maybe a couple of pints in a Wellington pub next time I'm down there. I mean there are two of us! But I think I've convinced another dude up this way that for what he wants he needs Realsoft ... we'll have to wait and see on that one. Could end up a crowded convention after all, there night be three buying the rounds.
