63 props and figures, 69 scripts, 10 plugins, 2 animations, 2 morphs all free on my site
i did some cleaning on my google site, the props and figures are now all quickly and visually accessible on one page
note that if you use the tiny blue down-arrow to download the zip files, you dont need to do odd things like log-in a google account
and that's how to download the zip file in one shot anyway

Ok, that's it. You're getting your own folder in my saved zips. LOL
I've been to your site a lot before, but this is the first time I'm seeing those flexithings. /downloads
Yes you definitely get your own folder. These are awesome. Thanks again!
I have designated a folder just for you a while back, makes it so much easier to find your stuff that way. That being said, I see there is still no mcjsuperlathe...hehehe...I was kinda hoping....:coolhmm: :-)
mcjSuperLathe underwent a big shuffling, it's still too big and has quirks, but it is nearing i can hear it from afar it says 'soooooooon' and the echo goes 'oh yeah sure'
i thought about restarting the tease thread but mnah :)

Thanks Casual, you are very generous! And I didn't even know about the google site service either:)

*scratches the right side of her head* Well, heck, now THAT's just teasing! :-/
all I can say is you rock and thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing, MCJ :cheese:
updated the index, there's even links now
You rule. :)
Will your textanim or matanim scripts work on gel lights, or would they need to be tweaked for that? (I know I should just try it, but a) I'm at work and b) I don't work with animations much, so it might take me a while to figure out if it doesn't work or if it's just that I don't know what I'm doing!)
Example: moving a gel image of the shadows cast by tree leaves back and forth to simulate wind.... even just shifting H or V offset would probably be enough to get a nice effect.
with texanim you convert your video clip into a series of images, using programs like wirtualdub or ffmpeg or most video editing software
then in a text file, you specify the name of the object, the surface, the surface channel that will have those images applied to it
ex: plane1 default opacity
then you use the script texanim and it renders the animation frame by frame, between renders it switches the image applied to plane1/default/opacity
so if your gel has a surface/material, texanim should be able to anmimate it
same goes for matanim, as long as there's a node/material involced it can be animated . Some shaders dont have Tiling/UV channel so you cant animate them this way
---
i dont know but i suppose some gobo/gel systems dont have a surface/material, instead the image is specified in the parameters tab .. so texanim and matanim wouldbt work
--
i know that if you apply a negative image to the opacity channel of a primitive/plane and use a light that has enabled shadows, you do get a gobo/gel if you render in software/3delight mode
Ah -- that's a good tip. Using a transparent plane to make the animated light would work.
Would it be feasible to make a similar tool that would let one adjust parameters of a light across a timeline? Or a camera? Many gel lights have H/V offset parameters that could be adjusted this way for nice effects. There are some custom cameras that also have interesting parameters that could be used this way.
most if not all of the parameters of a node ( including cameras and props ) can be "told" to be animatable or non-animatable
if we were in the Daz Studio 3 days i could write that script in 5 minutes but Daz Studio 4 doesn't let us select a parameter with our mouse
eventually i'll probably modify MatAnim and it will be able to change the animatability both surfaces and nodes parameters
i don't have them, but the animation plugins in the Daz Store may be able to do that
although not applicable to Node Parameters like UV Offsets,
i wrote a script to turn on/off the animatability of the position and rotations of a camera
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/unanimate-and-reanimate
so the short answer is ... eventually :)
in 2013
Thanks for the props, etc.
Very generous.
Don't see a separate thread for the script, so here it goes... :)
For mcjBBOrient, do the billboards follow the camera even if it goes "up" in the air? So for example, if you have those trees in your example, is there a way to keep them from "tilting" if the camera goes up, but still face the camera direction? Tilting trees is not a good thing ;-) I was trying to use the Point At, and lock rotations, so I asked about that in Nuts n Bolts, but I saw this script, and thought maybe it did what I was looking for already?
yes all the selected billboards turn around a vertical axis to face the position of the camera
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts/mcjbborient
i also made a video for it ... let me see ...
High-speed race through billboard trees --->>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKGKv_E8Lo8
Will your particles and smoke script work in Poser Pro 2014? Cheers
the scripts only work in Daz Studio
the scripts are programs that animate the puffs of smoke
but, once the animation is created in Daz Studio, you could try to export it to Poser
--
it will probably be difficult
for instance, maybe poser wont accept to load the "billboards" prop
to export the animation itself, i don't know, you could try http://www.daz3d.com/poser-format-exporter-pfe
http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/6869/

i'll message you if i attempt to do this
hi,
i can't find a copy of mcjGeoSend - i'm exporting objs and i need only ONE .mtl file -
i'm not going to Blender, i just need sequenced objs in a timely fashion
thank you for
everything, you rock
I have a question concerning mcjshake.
I use ist for creating idle animations. Low values on different nodes and then smoothing out with decimate, because it creates 1 key per frame (I dont want a "shake" but smooth random movements)
It is possible to set up mcjshake to create a key every 10 frames or so? The reason is, if I put shake on an existing animation, decimate will "smooth" this animation too an it wont fit anymore.
Thanks.
Thanks, your stuff is always nice.
Thanks MCJ...I will have to have a look and download any I don't have already. Still reinstalling from a hard drive failure from a couple of years back as I've only just got back into it.
lol...You mean to say you didn't already Vask? lol I'm shocked...; )
Oh! I was looking for a radio like this! Also, there's so many cool things, thank you for sharing!
mcjTeleblender exports all the scene-frames as .obj/.mtl files
then it launches blender and runs blender-python scripts that converts the incomplete .mtl materials into blender node-shaders
there were many versions including one that exported a scene as an fbx and ran blender-python scripts to fix materials and the messy state in which the props and figures are imported when using the Daz FBXs
it's in the "scripts section" there's 3 or 4 versions, I didn't test them in recent years so I don't know if the newer Blender versions are compatible, but you could install older Blenders and they should work fine
Though I think I may have an obj/mtl exporter for animations.
i also have a script that takes series of .obj scenes ( example fluid simulations ) ( example Poser cloth simulations ) and converts them into Daz/Poser Props with 1 morph per frame
Note that teleblender can export the obj scene-files and not-launch Blender
The scripts are almost all in here https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts10/home/scripts
but also check the left-side menu at https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts10/
and https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9
i have mcjCycleFilter which can apply a mathematical animation curve with any range
one of those curves is "random()" and you can low-pass-filter it using this script.
and you can do the decimating with mcjDecimate and mcjDecimateEx
https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts10/home/scripts
welcome
i like old radios and TVs i may make others someday
hi mCasual ;)
do you have a script that allows a camera to follow a curve ? thanks ;)
as tu un script qui permet a une camera de suivre une courbe ? merci ;)
@mCasual, thanks for freebies.
I downloade some of them, but I am a bit confused about the way to install them.
Per example: the mcjA3OTKBoots has to be installed Or maybe the Zip file extracted to c:\program files\daz\studio\content
With most free content sourced somewhere else depending on the content creator, the structure would look like this:
data
People
Runtime
Then this content is to be extracted to C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library
Tell me exactly where I will put the content you created to.
I would appreciate your input, thank you!
all props on my site are Poser type of props, most figures/clothes are also Poser type
so they can be used by both Daz Studio and Poser
there's a few Genesis 1,2,3 items which are installed as you described
say you have a Daz studio content folder at
C:\Users\jacqu\Documents\DAZ 3D\Content\
the Poser-compatible items will all be under the folder
C:\Users\jacqu\Documents\DAZ 3D\Content\Runtime
in Daz Studio's [Content Library] Tab they will be accessible in the
[Poser Format] section under the name [DAZ 3D]
( if it was C:\Users\jacqu\Documents\DAZ 3D\yourname, the content library tab would show it as yourname )
If your Content Library tab doesn't have a Poser Content section or if you want to add one
then you can go in Daz Studio's top menu-bar
Edit / Preferences / Content / [Content Directory Manager]
and add the folder the yourname folder to the [Poser Format] section
so if I packaged this poser-figure correctly
the boots will be in the [Content Library] tab under Poser Format / Daz3D / libraries / Figures / mcasual
there's no curves per-say in Daz Studio
but say you want the camera to follow a moving car
you could parent the camera to the car
if you want the camera to be more independent from the car
you could use mcjMakeTarget to create a null node that follows the location of the car and parent the camera to that node
then, for example, use mcjDecimate or mcjCycleFilter to smoothen the animation of the null node in question
the sceneGraf plugin lets you view and tweak the keyframes of the null node xyz rotations and translations
mcjPathTube, mcjRibbons and mcjTransport let you create tubes around the path of objects ( and null nodes )
I used them to create straps on sandals and roads under cars and even electric guitar cords
The scripts are in the Scripts section of https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9
I almost forgot, mcjParent lets you copy translations and/or rotations of one object to another, parenting is optional
