Ola, Now, we have huge to do list, but I have lots of ideas to make video tutorials showing cool stuff to our user base. Thanksss Tom

Hey Mark, You dont need to use greenscreen in this particular trick, you need only to track the spheres attatched to the body or face, of course, a plain color behind in the background is important, because will help to let the spheres more in separated, remember, if the balls have a color or they are white, the background need to be a color. You can light your background using lights from your sides and from your celling too. Syntheyes have the tutorials to do Mocap. Thanksss Tom

Hey Monday, Excelent btw... Thanksss Tom

Hey Mark, Its your idea.... I hope too. Everytime I become free, I will try to do a making of to our friends here. Thanksss Tom

Hey Mark, Motion Capture probably is cheaper than I used in that time... was $10.000 to a session. (a good one) Today, you can get a black cloth to entire body and self illuminant spheres from 3M in the correct joints of your body, rent 3 or 4 digital video cameras (the same model) with same fps frame rate. And buy a 3d tracker software like Syntheyes http://www.ssontech.com/ which does motion capture too, more manually of course but cost only $399, btw: its the software I use everyday. You can use with Syntheyes the “dots” in the face, but they still used only to facial tracker. :) Thankss Tom

Ola Diego!, I just tried, its working fine.. btw: You can have only one MDD plug-in to all groups. I just sent you a sample project with your files.. Thanksss Tom

Ola Diegoo!!, Could you send to us your Mdd export and OBJs from C4D? I would like to see your latest test which works... Thankssss Tom

Ola Diego, Will be excelent if we find a workflow from C4D .mdd and EIAS. What I read is the C4d built-in OBJ exporter makes a confusion when export vertices order, so, I heard Reptide Pro is the solution, but I hadn't a chance to test it with C4d mdd. I'm really interested to make this work... Thanks Tom

Ola Diegooo, I heard C4D OBJ expot is not good, first try to open your OBJ model on Maya or any other 3d appl. which support OBJ to see if works fine. I tried C4D, but I cant make it work yet. Lets try to find a solution togheter Thanksss Tom

Hey D, Beautifull renders!!! Share with us your “light” tricks.. :) Thanksss Tom

Ola Alonzo, First of all, “Hi” is a good word before a big request... :) About Animator 64 bits, Its important, but we have some steps before 64, without these necessary tech steps, we cant have 64.. so, lets do our to do list.. then big 64 bits changes. Thankss Tom

EXCELENT MARK!!!! Thanksss Tom

Hey Mark, Im really happy you are having time to do 3d with EIAS... ITS TIME TO PUT YOUR PASSION ON EIAS.. do, renders, animations tests, short films.. Everything I know about 3d was because I choosed EIAS to my life... Im remembering now when a I first saw a DEMO REEL VHS from EIAS 2.5 with some of the most incredible animations and render quality in that time and some of them touched me a lot were “Space Rangers” TV show made by Jonh Knoll and Terminator 2 “blast” scene, BINGO, I only thought, I NEED THIS APPLICATION. After soo many years using and loving EIAS, I always had this desire: How can I take care more of EIAS? which made all my personal dreams come true. I never felt soo excited with this new step in my life long waited, My true desire and goal is make all users proud of EIAS and when new artists start to use it, have the same feeling once time I had, Imaging in a future a chance of make dreams and creativity become amazing images and animations. I hope to see everybody here more and more happy from this moment in our new road. Thanksss Tom

Ola, Really beautifull render with this organic models.. Thanksss Tom

Ola Felix, MDD export to improve a baked workflow to EIAS internal render is interesting.. we need to think more. about TAFA, I need to research more.. Thanksss Tom

Ola, The new forum section is interesting.. About contact the outside world to show our new forum, We are planning to do this, but only when our web site become ready.. :) It will take some time.. then we will attack. :) Thanksss Tom
