People in 3D animations

Hi Imagix,

To answer your question regarding plugins for FormZ. No, there are no plugins.

With saying that, there are ways this can be done. You can use "animated textures" in FormZ which are still available to get online such as https://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/416142

They can be applied in FormZ as animated textures onto a 2d surface, you would have to play with the timing.

You could create components with the individual people and turn on "align with view" so they are facing your animated camera in your animation if you have one in your model.

 

I remember years ago creating my own animated people in Poser and saving out the renders with an alpha channel. It worked but there is a lot of preparation involved.

 

A more modern site such as https://secure.axyz-design.com will allow you to import a model which is exported from FormZ so you can populate it with their animated people which can then be rendered out with just the people to a movie file which can be overlaid onto your render using a video software package. You'd need to double check this..

 

Also, FormZ can import ".bvh" animated object files which can be used to attach parts. Here is a file (quickly exported from Poser) which you can import yourself to see the animation in FormZ. I've had to zip it so it can be uploaded here.

 

I hope this hasn't put you off  :rolleyes:
