Default Trying to solve some issues - 03-28-2009, 09:02 AM

Hello

My Alice project (the one with the fifth element theme in it) is acting up on my and confusing me a bit and I need help

1st

An error comes up at one point in the movie when I push play but for the life of me I cannot figure out why, you hit cancel and the movie keeps playing so it can't be the file it might just be alice, but how do i find out for sure?

2nd

I am trying to get a number of arrows to hit a mummy I have them on a gun which shoots them at him and i want them to stick out of either his body or head, and i can't get it to work. how can I best make this look realistic

Have tried to attach my project but it won't let me so lets just stick with this

Please help

Can't help you with the first - haven't seen the problem or done much making movies within Alice.

For the second, see the attached. I used a cone (with is showing false) to mark the "hit" point, made it's vehicle the mummy - then moved the arrow to the cone and also set its POV to the cone. (You could use any object, but the cone is pretty easy to get oriented correctly.)

I haven't moved the mummy extensively to really give this a hard test, but I think it will work.

DrJim nailed it.

Blood would help make it look more realistic though. I have been trying to get a blood solution but have not found one yet.

Blood is equivalent to fire in this attached example.
