    Archie dated one of the Pussycats.  They either got back from their space trip, or he dated her before they blasted off.

    With spring so close... my mind wandered and I thought... I've never taken the time to create a single spring in Carrara. I've a question... do I need to afterwards add bones to it si that will act like a real spring does? I expect so since I'll want it to be able to animated also.

    Spring... collapse/move/boing... repeat. Does that count for a Carrara thought? If so where do I collect my penny? :)

    need a fresh cup of coffee.

    thinking if the squiggle options other than linear in sequencer would do anything for keyframed morphs, like blinks or making resemble breathing.

    Just playing around with Mimic?  Pretty much anything should do.   Trying to record something nice for a presentation?  A better mic will often be better.  Don't go too good unless you are really after great production sound.  I use the original Apogee Mic that records at 24bit and 48khz.  I have a mic that records at 24bit 96khz but it is too clear; the droplets of water displaced by the tounge can be heard easily, which is not something I want to broadcast to others!

    To give things a test, you could just record into your smart phone (if you have one) and see if that will do.  Things have really improved over the past few years.  Or if you have a vid camera use that and extract the audio.

    Make sure to record in a fairly quiet place, and avoid echos if possible.  A small pillow or two placed on the desk can make a big difference, or just a towel or a sweatshirt.

    thanks smiley never wouldhv thought of the pillows.

  • DUDUDUDU Posts: 1,945

    Recording with your video camera is a good deal, but this camera should have a non integrated mic. to not hear the motor noise.

    The cameras records in 16bits/48Khz, it's an excellent format.

    The recording format don't depend of the microphone but of the association "soundcard/software", but a good microphone is always the best thing to use.

    You must also know that ideally, each different person needs a different mic. and  must place his/her mic. sometime in front of the nose, the mouth or the chest (it's the theory, but...). smiley

    For the "too clear" mic problem I'd try rigging a piece of material of some kind perhaps even an old sock or worn out tee shirt to fit over the the mic to muffle it's ears.

    Great suggestions for a "quite place" and "pillow" etc. I've a few to add...

    a) When possible record in a closed room. Hang a "do not disturb" or "recording" sign on the door handle. Ideally a blinking "Recording" sign on the door would be best... I can think of a few ways this could be done that are not permanent and inexpensive.  Let others in the house know if they must come in to not say anything until you pause to find out what they want. If in an open area record when others are away.
    b) Make sure that the volume for recording is loud enough by doing a short test video first.  It should be easily heard with the computer's volume set at half or a tad lower so that it can be either turned up or down.
    c) Keep noisy pets away from the mic's earshot.

    And if you have Guinea hens or Geese, then forget about ever getting a clean recording even with the windows closed. There's a reason they are great "watch dogs," they annoy any stray predators away. ;-)

    was it Archies had Sabrina the teenage witch?  she flew around on like a couch on a broom

    Maybe there is a small room with a seat  you can soundproof

    mostly the door needs to be, 

    do not drop your MP3 recorder in the bowl though

    I agree about the Guinea fowl I have a flock of 40 Guineas, plus Ducks, Geese, Pigeons, Pheasants, and Chickens. Total about 200 Birds there is no quiet place in the yard or house.

    Thankfully we're down to two Guineas. Predators took the others over the last few years. They were actually my Mom's when my folks lived with us for a time. Couldn't stand the obnoxious things. Now we have mostly chickens and ducks, with a few geese and that is fine by me. We probably have less than 40 birds combined.

    the hotpoint points south?

    i sent camera to the center, and, it ended up with the lens pointing down, 
    was expecting the camera facing foward

    which way the target helper hp pointing?

    the hotpoint of bulb light is on the flat side?
    sometimes would be kewl to render the geomety of the bulb light when parented to fixtures

    after grouping stuff, gotten into habit of centering hotpoint, seems easier to manage moving the group,

    You could try increasing the gravity setting while doing the sim? I have used it the other way around to get floating hair when underwater.
