Hi I agree I thought it looked great and it does, but comments made me look closer, and I agree with comments could be even better, with some suggestions applied. Thanks for sharing Guys Mark

HI Tomas thanks for info yeah I haven't been using layers output and thought later ,oh yeah at some point I will, and there it is waiting for me to use it when I need it , Thanks for another great Eias feature. Mark

HI Tom Will try that thanks Mark Hi Again , did that , great , why is not composited right in EI , sorry for not knowing reason . Thanks Mark

HI Tom Whats going on in the in this project . WHERE to get DEM files. LOCKED camera maps totally cool Thanks Mark

Hi Tom , been through all the bullet samples . The sample with bones ,can they be inside an object and still move like that? How was the tower built ? cool domino type thing !!! bvh example cool ? Now I have to examine other sample files . Greatest upgrade ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Tom and Igors anyone else on team WOW!!!!!!! THANKS Mark

HI Tom, so I would put all the files I export from daz in one folder and then It would work, great!!!! After thinking about it more. I think I understand, you have to set up your model by making a effector for the body , and one for each wheel and parent the correct parts, and then plugin will recognize setup in layout tab of plugin if things are correct. So I now will examine effector placement on model , assume you center effector but don't know for sure yet. If you had more wheels then 4 what would your naming method be Wheel Back Left 2 , being behind Wheel Back Left . Back to fun After studying files more I still don't understand because one file seems to use effector with bone==== other one doesn't ( Bullet__Car.prj ) Now I think as long as a model part has right name Chassis , or Wheel Back Left , you don't need to use effector for Plugin to work Thanks Mark

Hi Guys To color car you have to click on Wheel say , the red triangle is the hide children indicator ( should have know this) control click on wheel null ,and hold ,selecting hide show children , reveled parts so they could be colored . Do same thing again to hide. This might answer my other Question of how to config model. Mark

Hi Maher Nice model Mark

Hi Rich Thats a cool web site for cars. I'm just going to do some more exploring bullet now . I was wondering about the configure your model part of the plugin . Is what you do highlight the parts of the body, that are part of the body, and create a group for body , in the plugin. And then do the same for each wheel group , if wheel is made of rim and tires . Or do you need a model that is all ready set up as , just a body and wheels, before you import. I know I will understand with little more time. Thanks for any help. Mark BTW Tom I have imported a couple of simple models From Daz and had good results uvs correct and much faster and easier then going through obj to fact. That makes me very happy . I first tried just going in my runtime geometry folder THIS IS WHERE POSER -- DAZ MODELS ARE SAVED and covert model and got no good results . But exporting from daz and using collect maps on export and then importing in to eias uvs worked great , had to use find file for uvs even though I put Uv maps in same folder as model. Don't know for sure if any materials , can make it over other then when some of import options are used parts of model have the names of colors in project window. Any way much better much happier. Thanks Tom and Team When I tried going in runtime I was hoping I could convert whole folder at once , I guess that isn't possible. Or is it ??? any thoughts.

Hi Rich Awesome!!!! is the word, nice to see a better model , then one in sample . Is there a limit to ploy count for models when using bullet ??? Rich ANY chance to get the project for your video, like to know how your model is done, cause I tried to color the one in sample file and can't do it. Or get tip, on why I can't color car. I understand how to control car now. Thanks Mark

Hi Tom I had not looked at the Vehicle plugin , cool . This is a lot of fun . Yeah the manual has been helpful . I noticed the car parts had bones so I need to relook at that part of manual and at the vehicle plugin, in manual. Thanks Mark

HI Tomas Iam having lots of fun trying to figure out bullet from the sample files , some of them I don't understand how they are working , a little more info as to whats going on in each example could help ? What makes bullet car wheels steer , friction? Whats reflex planes doing in other example? Why Does car roll forward after dropping , only force I see is gravity? Having fun, hope not to much trouble to get little more info. on each sample. Anyone looking at samples can chime in with info. Thanks Mark

Hi Steven interesting device , great animation Mark

Hi Alonzo, enjoyed the zbrush tutorial. Yes it was helpful ! Thanks Mark

Hi Tom Great to see eias9 is out would love to be ordering and downloading but I won't have credit card for about a week . Mine was closed yesterday cause some one tried to use it . Whats difference of Demo????? Thanks Mark

Hi Tom Thanks for the work you and the team are doing , Luv EIAS want to see it keep going and keep growing . It has been along wait, but I for one am grateful to you for putting the work into this great software, that it deserves. SOoooooo Thanks Thanks and Thanks ahead of release. Mark

Hi Richard you are bad , David thanks for sharing! I for one didn't turn on my computer for about a month and haven't been as much into 3d for about a year , no real reason why, just burned out on computers maybe. Just been practicing my keyboards , drums and guitar playing , have to make effort to get back into 3d. Hope new EIAS 9 gets me going . Mark

Hi Thanks for sharing this link Mark

I look at each of my devices as its own world and I want to decided what to put on each device I don't want or need them to be synced . I like the mouse on computer, not track pad, I think gestures is more confusing, maybe good on ipad but not on computer. I look for music making apps in app store, kind of things you find in a music store to make music or read music and if you go in app music section you get all theses apps for music pop stars that have not a thing to do with making music, more like fan apps. They need a musician tools section. I don't like what they did to final cut pro studio . I liked having my idisk and apple hosted web page, which they got rid of both. I do like airplay mirroring and i guess you can turn the syncing off, but you have to turn it off .I rather turn it on if I wanted it. But I have a computer to run my programs , not to be absorbed in the operating system features. Mark

HI everyone I'm with Richard I think apple is starting to lose its way. The app store is hard to find things in and the changes they are making to some of their software and services don't seem to show they care what their customers think and wheres a updated Mac PRO Mark

Hi Kurt Really cool Mark

Hi Tomas Thanks for the good news. Mark

HI Tom yeah I guess thats one option Thanks Mark

Hi Iam going to lose my apple hosted web page . Do you know if facebook or youtube would be good enough to host my Eias videos or is there some web hosting where I could transfer my apple site with out me having to upload all my videos again. Thanks For any help? Mark

HI Tom Thanks for that tip Mark
