<br />
There are so many wonderful things that The Artiste can do for live performance, but I can't stress stronly enough what an incredible tool it is for machinima in Secondlife too.<br />
<br />
I think I have mentioned before how valuable is is to have an action sequencer which is so precise that you can run it over and over again with true results while you cover different camera angles.<br />
<br />
What I perhaps went unsaid is the little things that you would take for granted in making a real life video. With human beings, you can just instruct them what to do. Sit here, stand here, walk from A to B. Most of the time they do exactly what you ask.<br />
<br />
Our little replicants in SL are not so pliable. Trying to get someone to walk in a particular way AND smoothly is a nightmare without any kind of set up. So that one little clip where Rachel walks towards Deckard with her iconic wiggle is all down to the Artiste. The frame rate wibbled a bit, but that actual mover walk she did was perfect everytime. No sliding, no skipping.<br />
<br />
And that owl? An owl texture from Sanna Animated Textures, attached to a palette.<br />
<br />
Standing "actors" where you want them to be, making them sit exactly as you want; all the subtle things that make your life easier.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The following is a quick video proof-of-concept demo of the integration of Animesh and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Artiste.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With one HUD you can control a mixture of up to 9 avatars and Animesh in any combination.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With 2 HUDS you can control up to 18 avatars and Animesh. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are 3 posts at our website on the implementation of Animesh with Artiste to introduce you to our chosen method of implementation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://artistedancediva.co.uk/wp/?p=1875"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Animesh 101</span></a><br />
<a href="http://artistedancediva.co.uk/wp/?p=1893"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Animesh 102</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a href="http://artistedancediva.co.uk/wp/?p=1927"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Animesh 103</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The appeal to me of Animesh is the ease with which to choreograph routines with a lot of dancers without imposing on our friends to help us out or be available while we are experimenting and learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One downside is that the Animesh are prim-heavy. These particular Animesh characters were 58 prims each.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also there are currently not a lot of Animesh types or choices of costumes and outfits for them so we are currently limited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was a challenge to syncing Animesh and avatars. We use Division Palette Change (dynamic grouping change) over long running dance sequences to mitigate the problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Different Animesh can be doing different dance sequences at the same time. In this demo they are all doing the same dance sequence at the same time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
It occured to me when the BOM enabled Firestorm was released that the "strip" function of The Artiste might once again be viable. I've been testing it out this weekend and you can see my results in the video HERE: <a href="https://vimeo.com/367829869" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/367829869</a><br />
<br />
As I say, the stripping of attachments has never been an issue as it still works perfectly, but the change-over to mesh bodies was a disaster as far as stripping went. Are we all still stripping out there with Applier HUDs or have you given up? Whipping your mesh bra off might have worked, but managing to take off a mesh corset and then having to use your body hud to make sure you didn't look like an Ex-magicians assistant was tricky...even with auto-hide.<br />
<br />
I'm no expert on BOM by any stretch. I didnt even try it until this weekend. I watched my husband having a go on his avatar last week and decided to give it a shot. Hopefully, by the time everyone has the BOM enabled viewer we might have started to move forward. Remember when Bento mesh hands came in? Everyone wanted to use them but to people who didnt have the Bento viewer you looked like a replicator from Stargate Atlantis. Possibly there will be a work around but we will have to see.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in Bakes on Mesh, take a look at this blog from Skell, who is a great photographer and quite good at explaining things!<br />

Well I finally did it :p<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />We learned, in the last post, the concept of move-range. We can tell our mover to move a portion of the total number of moves. We don't have to do all the moves of our mover at one time. We did the 1st move out of a total of 5 moves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In this example we will do the 1st TWO moves out of a total of 4 moves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A common scenario comes up where you start off placing your movers backstage so your group of dancers in your routine can easily see and pre-mount them and be ready to go onstage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But ultimately you want them to rise up from below the stage. This means they have to somehow get to the a position below the stage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Early mover designs dictated that once you started your move sequence, you had to finish it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So...you COULD move from backstage to under the stage and then move up all uninterrupted... but most performers wanted their 1st official routine move to start UNDER the stage and rise up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So what was needed was a way to start and stop the move sequence then restart it again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Artiste <b>MoveRange </b>feature, in combination with a show-time access-button that performs the 1st move and then stops, now makes this possible without the need for using extra HUDS to accomplish the starting and stopping and restarting of a move sequence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With just one HUD, you can simplify this ordeal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After all of the dancers are in our group we press a button on the lead-dancer's HUD to perform JUST the first move which places them UNDER the stage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>First</b>, we make sure <b>GoTo2ndMove </b>is 'on' in the Palettes that we want to respond to our request in the *palette nc. Also increase the <b>EditMoveSpeed </b>from 0.5 to something greater as this is what is used for the <b>GoTo2ndMove </b>and not the speed in the *moves nc because if the time is too short, the move may not be as accurate as expected.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then we tell the HUD that when we press <b>Play </b>we perform moves <b>02 thru 04 </b>instead of 01 thru 04 because we have already performed the 1st move.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b><span style="color: red;">sitters </span></b>keyword sends the <b>mmove </b>command to all palettes that are <b>moveable </b>and <b><span style="color: red;">sittable</span></b>. Else we would need an autofx command for each avatar-palette-mover. See example below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1,r=p%<span style="color: red;">01_A</span>%<span style="color: blue;">mmove02-04$</span></b><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">r=p%<span style="color: magenta;">01_B</span>%<span style="color: blue;">mmove02-04</span></b><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> So this saves some nc line space as well as tighter palette-trigger coordination because all palettes get the command at exactly the same time, practically speaking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So along with the "<b>all</b>" command there is "<b>sitters</b>", "<b>non-sitters</b>", as well as the <b>group designations</b> for sending <b>moves </b>and <b>mmoves </b>to select Palettes depending on their type and <b>grouping designation</b>. </span><br />

<br />
We learned about pairing a palette/object-mover to an anchor.<br />
<br />
We learned how to use the menu-approach to creating simple moves and turns.<br />
<br />
We learned some Palette-menu commands. We learned a few move-related *palette nc entries and a few *move nc entries.<br />
<br />
***<br />
<br />
In order to prepare a Palette as an <b>Avatar-Mover</b>, we need to turn on 2 additional Abilities besides Moveable in the *palette nc.<br />
<br />
<b>Moveable,<span style="color: red;">on</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Sittable</span>,<span style="color: red;">on</span><br /><span style="color: blue;">Animatable</span>,<span style="color: red;">on</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">Abilities help prevent needless permissions requests as well as avoid conflicts. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b>***</b><br />
<br />
Ok so let us try and <b>create </b>a little <b>story</b>. We already have a flying saucer with moves and turns. Let's make the saucer follow/stalk our chosen avatar. <i><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">(Now let it be known that Artiste also has a Follow feature for Palettes to auto-follow objects but for our purposes we will create our own home-grown follow function using autofx commands to move Palettes in sync).</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMue2HGhV8VVo_Xa3Y0YxI8qeX59byfDqZukOHWQTnJ1e5xliYCHNHP9R0KYmg73ISPVg-jSupuxd8-7ksfDcm04lgvqfaMrsHqI1eNlG_oLzVIKVohIhkt7FeqGgNtdS2vQCNLzbweP1v/s1600/AMS+-+Stairs+and+Saucer.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="1160" height="178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMue2HGhV8VVo_Xa3Y0YxI8qeX59byfDqZukOHWQTnJ1e5xliYCHNHP9R0KYmg73ISPVg-jSupuxd8-7ksfDcm04lgvqfaMrsHqI1eNlG_oLzVIKVohIhkt7FeqGgNtdS2vQCNLzbweP1v/s320/AMS+-+Stairs+and+Saucer.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So our avatar will <b>climb up right-side stairs</b><b>,</b> <span style="color: blue;"><b>turn left,</b></span> <b><span style="color: magenta;">walk to midway point</span></b>, <b style="color: blue;">turn left, </b><b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">stop and pose</span></b>, <b><span style="color: purple;">dance</span>, <span style="color: red;">stop and pose</span>, </b><b style="color: blue;">turn </b><b style="color: blue;">right</b><b style="color: blue;">, </b><b><span style="color: magenta;">walk to left-side stairs</span></b><b><span style="color: magenta;">, </span></b><b><span style="color: blue;">turn left again,</span></b> and then <b>climb down</b> <b>the left-side stairs</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>1 - mover - move TO the stairs</b><br />
<b>2 - mover - move -</b> <b>climb up right-side stairs</b><br />
<b>3 - mover - turn -</b> <b style="color: blue;">turn left</b><br />
<b>4 - mover - move-</b> <b><span style="color: magenta;">walk to midway </span></b><b><span style="color: magenta;">point</span></b><br />
<b>5 - mover - turn -</b> <b style="color: blue;">turn left</b><br />
<b>6 - mover or HUD - move or dance-pose -</b> <b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">stop and pose</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b>7 - HUD - </b><b><span style="color: purple;">dance</span></b><br />
<b>8 - mover or HUD - move or dance-pose -</b> <b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">stop and pose</span></b><br />
<b>9 - mover - turn -</b> <b style="color: blue;">turn right</b><br />
<b>10 - mover - move-</b> <b><span style="color: magenta;">walk to left-side stairs</span></b><br />
<b>11 - mover - turn -</b> <b style="color: blue;">turn left again</b><br />
<b>12 - mover - move -</b> <b>climb down</b> <b>the left-side stairs</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>***</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This example will demonstrate a few cool, mostly unique, features of the <b>AMS, mainly:<br /><span style="color: blue;">1 - Embedded Moves<br />2 - Move Ranges<br />3 - Group Moves</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b>***</b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><u>FLYING SAUCER</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>First I redo the saucers moves so they move up at an angle to trace the stairs but off to the side and then move across the bridge and back down the stairs on the other side. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So first we create a new <span style="color: blue;">InitialOffset </span>value for the flying saucer. </b><br />
<b><br />Then we create a bunch of moves and turns for the saucer to mimic stalking our avatar. We just want to get a rough feel for the flow. We will tweak it later. For this demo we will continue to use the menu system for creating moves, although it may be enough moves to warrant using the marker system if it appears too much to hold into ones head.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>***</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><u>AVATAR MOVER</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b>First, </b>we rez a <b>Palette</b>, pair it with the <b>Anchor. (AnchorName). I rename the Palette to ArtistePalette_02_A. </b><i> (For sittable Palettes we must use the standard naming. 01_A thru 01_R are already in use on another project I am doing on this sim so to be safe and not conflict I chose "02_A".)</i><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Second, </b>we prepare it as an <b>avatar-mover</b> as discussed above by setting the appropriate <b>abilities</b>.<br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Moveable</span>,<span style="color: red;">on</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;">Sittable</span>,<span style="color: red;">on</span><br /><span style="color: blue;">Animatable</span>,<span style="color: red;">on</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Third</b>, we reset it.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth</b>, we insure our <b>active group</b> matches the group of the Palette. Then we press <b>ResetSit </b>button on Palette menu and then <span style="color: red;"><b>SIT</b> </span>on the Palette and <b>accept permissions</b> when asked.<br />
<br />
The initial pose when sitting on a Palette is determined by the <b>DefaultSitAnim </b>entry in the *palette nc. This animation must be in the Palette.<br />
<br />
<b>DefaultSitAnim,<span style="color: red;">standing</span></b><br />
<br />
The final pose that happens at the end of a move sequence is determined by the FinalMovePose entry in the *palette nc. This animation must also be in the Palette.<br />
<br />
<b>FinalMovePose,<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;">bow</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span></b>
<b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span></b>
<br />
<b>Fifth</b>, we <b>position </b>Palette in front of the right stairs, and <b>rotate </b>it so we are facing the stairs. Then we create a new <b style="color: blue;">InitialOffset </b>for the Palette<b style="color: blue;"> </b>by pressing <b><span style="color: blue;">DumpInitial </span></b>and then pressing <b style="color: blue;">ReloadMoves</b> as we have done before with the saucer.<br />
<br />
<b>InitialOffset</b>,<-3.29439, -0.15184, -0.00061>,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.70711, 0.70711><br />
<br />
<b>Sixth</b>, we create the 1st 5 moves which is<b> move, move, turn, move, turn. We test it. All good.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Seventh, </b>lets adjust the <b>durations </b>since the default, in this particular case, is 1 second for all moves and turns. We learn a new button called <b>QuickTest</b>. This tests 1 move/turn at a time vs <b>TestAllMoves </b>which runs thru all of the move/turns.<br />
<br />
I will rename the move-names for easier identification. So, M02_A, the default, becomes <span style="color: purple;"><b>M02_A_01</b></span> and <b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_02</span></b>, etc, though this is not required.<br />
<br />
We add 2 animations to our move sequence. JD walk 1 and JD walk 2. <b><span style="color: red;">Notice the second walking animation the avatar places her right hand on her right hip, different from the 1st walking animation.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">1 second </span></b>to walk to the stairs<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_01</span></b>,</span><b><span style="color: red;">1.000000</span></b>,<0.00000, -0.94051, 0.00000>,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>,<b><span style="color: blue;">JD walk 1</span></b>,0<br />
<br />
We do trial and error on just the 2nd move going up the stairs. I settled on <b><span style="color: red;">12 seconds.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_02</span></b>,<b><span style="color: red;">12.000000</span></b>,<0.00000, -5.57140, 4.12061>,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>,<b><span style="color: blue;">JD walk 2</span></b>,0,0,0<br />
<br />
I will leave the turn, after the 1st move, at <b><span style="color: red;">1 second</span></b> for now.<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_03</span></b>,<b><span style="color: red;">1.000000</span></b>,Turn,89.993520,none,0<br />
<br />
I chose <b><span style="color: red;">5 seconds</span></b> for the move from right-stairs to midway point<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_04</span></b>,<b><span style="color: red;">5.000000</span></b>,<2.94045, 0.00000, 0.00000>,<0.00000, 0.00000, 0.00000, 1.00000>,<b><span style="color: blue;">JD walk 2</span></b>,0,0<br />
<br />
I will leave this next turn that faces the audience also at <b><span style="color: red;">1 second</span></b> for now.<br />
<b><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: purple;">M02_A_05</span></b>,<b><span style="color: red;">1.000000</span></b>,Turn,90.000000,none,0<br />
<br />
<br />
We will make the saucer ascend for <b><span style="color: red;">12 seconds</span></b> instead of 5 to match the avatar's stair climb.<br />
<br />
The command to move both the avatar and saucer from autofx is:<br /><br />
TRACE,on<br />
<b>1,r=p%Flying Saucer!%<span style="color: red;">mmove01-02</span>$r=p%ArtistePalette_26_RC_e%<span style="color: red;">move0</span></b><br />
END<br />
<br />
We introduce abn arguably unique feature called the <b><span style="color: red;">move-range.</span> We tell the <span style="color: blue;">flying-saucer </span>to move just its 1st 2 moves, 01 and 02. The <span style="color: red;">move0</span> is shorthand that tells the <span style="color: blue;">avatar-mover</span> to move ALL of its moves (01-05);</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">We will stop for now so as not to clutter to much info at one time. </span></b><b><br /></b>

So many in fact that there is now a manual devoted just to turns so you can quickly find, review, and compare the available choices.<br />
<br />
<b>BK27 - The Artiste - Book - Turns & Rotations - v1.0</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>***</b><br />
<br />
A turn when talking about movers is a <b>type of move</b> and has its own entry line in the *moves nc.<br />
<br />
Example: <b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">M99_Z_01,5.000000,</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">Turn</span><span style="color: blue;">,-70.000510,none,0</span></b><br />
<br />
A cool unique thing about Artiste turns is that they have their own <b><span style="color: blue;">DURATION </span></b>and can have their own <b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">ANIMATION</span></b>. <b>Turn-animation</b> has more significance when building an <b>avatar-mover.</b><br />
<br />
Artiste turns are <b>smooth </b>and <b>contiguous </b>and are NOT made up of discreet parts.<br />
<br />
If you turn a Palette <b>without also </b>moving it then you can <b>DumpMoves button </b>on the Palette menu will now calculate a <b>turn-entry</b> instead of a <b>move-entry.</b> This is an improvement over the old way of having to type the turn entry in from scratch.<br />
<br />
Let's try it with our flying saucer.<br />
<br />
We will <b>move</b>, <b>turn</b>, <b>move</b>, <b>turn.</b><br />
<br />
I added a <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">red </span></b>dome and linked it to the saucer so that the turn will be more evident.<br />

<br />
Ok so we know how to rez and place an ArtisteAnchor. We insure the Palette knows its anchor by putting the anchor name in the *palettes nc. <b>AnchorName,<span style="color: blue;">ArtisteAnchor </span></b><br />
<br />
We make it a movable object by setting <b>Moveable,<span style="color: blue;">on</span></b> in the *palettes nc.<br />
<br />
We know how to use the <b>DumpInitial </b>button to find our <b>InitialOffset </b>value that goes in the *moves nc.<b>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We know how to send our Palette to its initial starting step by pressing the <b>GoHome </b>button.<br />
<br />
We know how to quickly read in changes to our *moves nc by pressing the <b>ReloadMoves</b> button.<br />
<br />
We have the basic knowledge of <b>preparing</b> an Artiste Palette as a mover but without any moves yet.<br />
<br />
***<br />
<br />
I bought a freebie <b>MODIFIABLE flying saucer</b> for our <b>object-mover </b>demo.<br />
<br />
Step 1: I <b>copy </b>the 9 basic scripts and 5 notecards from our basic Palette into our flying saucer.<br />
<br />
Step 2: I set its <b>Moveable,<span style="color: red;">on</span></b> in the Palette nc.<br />
<br />
Step 3: I <b>place</b> the flying saucer just over our <b>Anchor </b>though I could have put it anywhere.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQzaqV1Wvv0hS92p26IwnyIwdQxVRkIh1gxLg5kOwnfCuz-KEn90r1Diwq69RyS8_TcZUoEYdCd33liZFgJnfxNRqVDJIeqYKl_WjouUIJH1dUHgvsklJqIGm0piTZxEOPcmbEoI5LIeOn/s1600/Flying+Saucer+over+Anchor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="775" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQzaqV1Wvv0hS92p26IwnyIwdQxVRkIh1gxLg5kOwnfCuz-KEn90r1Diwq69RyS8_TcZUoEYdCd33liZFgJnfxNRqVDJIeqYKl_WjouUIJH1dUHgvsklJqIGm0piTZxEOPcmbEoI5LIeOn/s320/Flying+Saucer+over+Anchor.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 4: I <b>reset </b>the flying saucer by clicking on it and getting the menu to read in ALL the ncs.<br />
<br />
Step 5: I press the <b>DumpInitial </b>button and copy/paste the <span style="color: red;"><b>InitialOffset </b></span>output into the *moves nc.<br />
<br />
Step 6: I press the <b>ReloadMoves </b>button on the 2nd page of the Palette Menu. This reads in our NEW <b>InitialOffset </b>value. Note: We only have to do the InitialOffset maneuver once per Palette, unless we change our first position (home).<br />
<br />
Step 7: One additional NEW thing we want to do is keep the flying saucer from turning into the default Palette colors upon reset by setting an entry in the *palette nc called <b>Color</b>. We change it from <b>Color,default</b> to <b>Color,<span style="color: red;">none</span></b><br />
<br />
<u>All is good now. The <b>Palette </b>and <b>Anchor </b>are now <b>paired</b>.</u><br />
<br />
There are 2 types of mover systems.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Menu-Based</b> and<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Marker-Based</b> (bread-crumb trails).<br />
<br />
We will use the simple <b>Menu-Based</b> system because we only have 2 or 3 moves in our demonstration.<br />
<br />
Step 1: I press the <b>StartMove </b>button on the Palette/saucer menu.<br />
<br />
Step 2: I <b>move </b>the saucer <b>up</b>.<br />
<br />
Step 3: I press the <b>EndMove </b>button on the Palette/saucer menu.<br />
<br />
Step 4: I press the <b>DumpMove </b>button.<br />
<br />
(We can repeat this process ( Step 2, 3, and 4) for as many moves as are needed).<br />
<br />
Step 5: I <b>move </b>the saucer to the <b>left</b><br />
<br />
Step 6: I press the <b>EndMove </b>button on the Palette/saucer menu.<br />
<br />
Step 7: I press the <b>DumpMove </b>button.<br />
<br />
Step 8: I copy/paste the output carefully into the <b>*moves</b> nc..<br />
<br />
Step 9: I change the <b>duration</b> of the moves from whatever they happen to be...to <b>5</b> for 5 seconds for both the move up and the move left. (They do not have to be the same times)<br />
<br />
Step 10: I change <b>NoOfMoves </b>in the *moves nc from whatever it was...to 2. <b> </b><b>NoOfMoves </b><b>,<span style="color: red;">2</span></b><br />
<br />
Step 11: I press the <b>ReloadMoves button.</b><br />
<br />
Step 12: I test our 2 saucer moves by pressing the <b>TestAllMoves</b> button on the Palette/saucer menu.<br />

<br />
<b>THATS IT:</b> We just made a simple object mover without the need for markers / bread-crumbs. This Palette/saucer is now show ready, short of any reorientation needed in case the show venue faces a different direction than the work platform. It is also ready to be packed into a rezzer.<br />
<br />
FYI, the command from the <b>Artiste Performance HUD </b>on the<b> *autofx nc</b> to make it do all of its moves looks like this:<br />
<br />
<b>1,r=p%Flying Saucer!%<span style="color: red;">move0</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have prepared our Palette for an object move by changing the </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Moveable</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> entry to on in the *palette nc. (I decided to create a simple object-mover first. Then after that we will do an avatar-mover).</span><br />
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Moveable,<span style="color: red;">on</span></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">***</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
The first step in creating a move is <b>pairing</b> a <b>Palette </b>used as a mover to the <b>Anchor</b>.<br />
<br />
In the *palette nc insure that the AnchorName matches the actual Anchor you are using.<br />
<br />
<b>AnchorName</b>,<b><span style="color: blue;">ArtisteAnchorYumz</span></b><br />
<br />
If they match then upon reset of the Palette you will get an acknowledgement:<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">[10:45:09] ArtistePalette_25_RC_d: [LDR] 10 - <b>FOUND</b>: <span style="color: blue;"><b>ArtisteAnchorYumz</b> </span>- AnchorKey: 43b6b5ff-8ee1-d093-b8ef-518fbe03a99a @ <225.55920, 17.63139, 3501.32700></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /><br />If you have 2 anchors named the same then you will NOT get the acknowledgment and you will also get a velocity error. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">***</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />There is a *moves nc that is used to store move information. If all you are doing is changing move information then there is a button on the Palette menu called <b>ReloadMoves </b>(Page 2) to reload JUST the *moves nc after you make and save changes. This is a huge time saver as the Palette will not reload the other ncs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>InitialOffset</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We need to get this value. It is in the *moves nc. It tells the Palette where to go when it is <b>rehoming </b>(<i>reset, reloadmoves, GoHome button, GoHome command from autofx</i>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Your Palette is now <b>paired</b> with the Anchor and knows where its home position is.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Movers and dancer-movement (as opposed to dancer animation) seems to be a very popular addition to SL Dance. Sometimes the curtain opens and you are already in position as a dancer to begin your routine. Other times you may walk, skip, jump, or use another move-affiliated animation to get you from off-stage to on-stage and ready to begin your dance routine. The same often happens at the end of routine where you 'move' one or more dancers from on-stage to off-stage. Multiple dancers can move in unison or independent. They can turn as well as move. They can move in 3 dimensions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Some forms of dance in RL, the dancers seem to already be in position as in music videos as an example while in ballet you see them prance on and off. Also in dance competitions they stroll on and off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Movement does add scope and can maximize use of big stage. It often offers perspective, variety, and added interest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have attended workshops for some other products and watched how movers are used in many shows. I thought it was time to present the Artiste's version of movers for comparison and analysis. I have demoed and highlighted many Artiste features but have not delved into the Artiste Mover System.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The purpose of this expose is to document as well as inform owners and non-owners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The system has evolved over time from what I envisioned peoples needs would be to also include what peoples needs actually turned out to be. A couple of key features were created at the request of users actually using the mover system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I want try a new approach to informing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Very slow. In byte-sized deliverables.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A <b>Palette </b>can be a lot of different things </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(</span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">abilities</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, one of which is a '</span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">mover</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'. You tell it what it can be and do by editing its notecards (ncs).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It can be more than one thing at a time (<b>abilities</b>). (See the <b><a href="https://vimeo.com/102286536" target="_blank">State-Of-Shock</a></b> video as an example of a Palette being a: <b>mover</b>, <b>light</b>, and <b>animated-texture.)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anything which is <b>mod </b>can be a <b>Palette </b>and as such, can also be a <b>mover</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unlike some systems, there is no <b>required</b> linking involved to move an object...but you could.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>AMS</b> allows for <b>objects </b>or <b>avatars </b>to be moved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If all you want to do is move an <b>object</b>, you can prepare it by making the Palette '<b>movable</b>'. It requires changing <b><span style="color: red;">one </span></b>entry in a nc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ex:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">Moveable,on</span></b><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sittable,off<br />Animatable,off</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you want to move an <b>avatar</b>, then you prepare it by making the <b>Palette moveable</b>, <b>sittable</b>, and <b>animatable</b>. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It requires changing </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">three </span></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">entries in a nc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ex:<br /><br /><b><span style="color: blue;">Moveable,on<br />Sittable,on<br />Animatable,on</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When a Palette is </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">movable </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">then it can </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">home</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> to an </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">anchor </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">upon </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reset</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reload</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, or specific </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">chat </i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">command. So if you move the </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">anchor </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">then Palettes which are movable will change </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">position </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(and </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">rotation</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> if need be) relative to the </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">anchor </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to stay in sync when re-triggered (</span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reset</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">reload</i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, or specific </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">chat </i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">command)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are a host of other options available but these are the key entries to identify the character of a <b>Palette </b>as a <b>mover</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">***</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Movers need an <b>anchor</b>. Movers have an entry in a nc that names the <b>anchor </b>it is looking for. The <b>anchor </b>must be owned by you (owner of the Palettes) so there is no conflict with anchors owned by others.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can see the <b>Artiste Anchor</b> is just a 1-prim object. It used be just a dumb object with no scripts. Now it has intelligence , a menu and options, but its main purpose is just as a point of reference. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(click on it for the menu).</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> You </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">seldom need</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> to use its menu.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I suggest rezzing the <b>anchor </b>in an accessible place in case you need to access it during a show. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Artiste MasterRezzer </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">performs functions similar to the <b>Multi-Scene </b>rezzer. You can rez sets or objects in predictable and consistent relative or absolute placement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(You, of course, do <b>not </b>need to use the <b>MasterRezzer </b>when you are just creating your routine.)</span><br />
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The <b>Artiste MasterRezzer </b>was developed with the SL Performance Dancer in mind. Its main purpose was to simplify the task of <b>set cross-fades</b> and <b>set transitions.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Unique to the <b>Artiste MasterRezzer</b> is that you can:<br />1) Rez <b>more than 1</b> set at a time<br />2) Rez <b>NOCOPY </b>objects</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can also rez <b>NOMOD </b>objects</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By adding <b>1 script and 1 nc</b> to the <b>Anchor</b>, you can make it rezzable, along with anything else you want to rezz. It can be its own set or part of a set. You can have up to 6 sets per <b>MasterRezzer</b>. (A <b>MasterRezzer </b>can also rez another <b>MasteRezzer </b>referred to as <b>Rezzer-Chaining)</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You would <b>pack </b>(place) the <b>Anchor</b> inside the <b>MasterRezzer </b>not unlike you do with other rezzers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can <b>reset </b>(<b>rehome</b>) your movers using:<br />1) the <b>Anchor menu </b>or <br />2) the <b>Artiste Performance HUD</b> Auto-Access menu or<br />3) the <b>movers (Palettes) menu</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The movers will look for the <b>Anchor</b> and re-position and/or reorient themselves. Movers depend on knowing where the Anchor is in order to perform their moves and turns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, you can use the <b>Multi-Scene </b>rezzer instead of the <b>Artiste MasterRezzer.</b></span><br />

*************************************************************<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">BREAKDOWN OF THE "YOUR HEART IS AS BLACK AS NIGHT" VIDEO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Technical Details:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>SCENE ONE: Stage Set</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Rezzed a palette (01_A) and set its position. Sat on palette and adjusted position. Chose suitable bow animation which I placed in the palette for simplicity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Took the "guts" out of a palette and loaded them into the Stage Curtain, re-naming it "01_B" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Simple up and down move.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>SCENE TWO: Backstage</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First shot shows the hallway with the swinging light-bulb. I Attached a palette to the bulb array and used the swing function. Took a while to work out which axis to use but once I got it I could use the size of the palette object to obtain a suitable arc and speed of swing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Second palette "walks" me down the hallway and out through the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>SCENE THREE: Dressing Room</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I replaced the dressing room door with a palette to animate the swing open and closed. The trick is to have the original door then create an identical invisible prim. I attached both of these to a central "rod" which was the palette. This allows the door to pivot on a central axis i.e where the door hinge would be. I set the two movements at a different speed: swinging open faster than it swings closed to suggest a push opening it and then the door swinging closed under its own steam. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Second palette, as a mover, was propelling my avatar through the door. Trick was to get them lined up so that you had a reasonable interval between the door opening and me coming through it. Its very quick so I had to find a way to get around the 5 second interval in events. I could have used one palette to trigger the other but for expediency, as I was filming and not performing live, I adjusted by altering the length of a dummy move in the mover palette which came before the walking animation. I could then adjust when I started walking. Just another way of doing it, there are several ways it could have been done, some of which would be much better for a live performance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yumz and I talked long ago about the old "flipping the clothes over the dressing screen" trope. Again, because it is filmed rather than live I could fudge a bit with editing, but it could be done live with some more playing around. The bits of "dress" (a mesh shape and some flexis) were attached to a cylindrical palette which was sitting on the top edge of the screen. I had envisaged that it would be one straight rotation to flip it over but I actually used a couple of tiny linear moves (up and forward) as well to make it look a bit better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The one thing that I would have liked to do better was when she came out from behind the screen..obviously in real life we don't walk in discrete lines with angled turns but rather automatically start to turn our bodies as we walk. It would be possible to track this on a palette but the problem is actually the animation as it could look very odd unless you found the perfect walk. Plus it was a very cramped space between the screen and the armoire. Anyway, standard walk turn walk... might have looked better with a pause and an animation before she turns.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The rest of the action is pretty straightforward...palette used to position the sits at the dressing table etc. The very last shot where you see the police lights in the window didn't capture that they were actually on a mover and slowly moved up into shot behind the windows.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That was purely to do with the tracking speed of the camera I was using. I had originally wanted to pan down on to her as well so that you could see the poster above the dressing table was for a movie called "Meet John Doe" :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway I hope that has given you a useful insight into the making of the video from a technical point. This was originally planned years ago as a stage piece and believe it or not, everything was possible to do live! The original would have been much more focused around dance and emotes though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I changed the look of the piece a lot for the video, deciding to give it a much more film Noir feel. The sets were kept to greyscale for that reason but each splash of red has its own significance. The dress and the underwear, the "Sinners" sign almost like an entrance to Hell; the roses were the love and passion and the make up the artifice each one builds up until eventually it leads to the blood on the sheet. She takes off one layer of red but she is still "red" underneath. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway I hope you enjoyed it! It has had wonderful responses so far. I hope you will leave your comments too :)</span><br />

<br />
I haven't made a video in a while and had been itching to get back to it, so I finally went for an idea that had been kicking around for a while. I really love the illusion of deep reflections that you see in some clubs and stores. If you have ever looked at how its put together you will have seen that they just flip the set up and put a semi-opaque "floor" between. I figured that if you could do that with a room then why not with dancers?<br />
<br />
Yummy and I had discussed a long time ago the concept of using some kind of reflection but obviously it has its limitations with live performances. I did start working on something a while back that would have worked around this by using a tilted stage but got distracted...look a squirrel!!<br />
<br />
Anyhow... I had the skybox with the pillars etc set up and had been playing around with it in photos, so I figured why not. <br />
<br />
I used an anchor but in this case I didn't have to include any movement with the palettes. I could have used Yummy's adjustable poseballs I guess but I like the smooth adjustments of a palette. Plus they are boxes so you can easily see which way up they are. The key thing with this one was getting the alignment of the avatars as close as possible. Now because I wasn't using two avatars with identical feet this could be a bit tricky at times because the mesh body I was using for the hologram effect below had a very stiff rigging for its ankles and foot movements so it was never going to be exact. Haven't tried it out with two identical avatars but it might work a lot better.<br />
<br />
As you probably guessed, its just a matter of flipping one palette 180 degrees. I used mirrored dances from Abranimations to match the moves and the AB system in The Artiste to regulate the dancers.<br />
<br />
Technical point for filming: if you let the "under" dancer go out of frame when filming then the system "ignores" it as if its not there, so when you bring it back into frame the animation starts over for that avatar, meaning that your dancers are out of sync. If you are filming and synchronised dancing then make sure you keep even just a little bit of the other dancer in frame. Otherwise you just have to edit your way out of a mess.<br />
<br />
The second avatar is wearing an old experimental mesh body that will take scripted textures, so that is how the "hologram" effect works. Again, something left over from another old routine that never made the cut.<br />
<br />
My editing is a bit lazy, I still need to work on matching one take to another as far as the choreography is concerned. So forgive me if the moves seem a bit repetitive in places. I now appreciate more than ever how much time Sterling used to spend matching the shots. However the main concern here was showcasing the effect for Yumz and matching to the song's cadences. <br />

Yummy and I have tried many times to emphasise that learning to use The Artiste is a learning curve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know that it seems at times to be a very steep one, but the truth is it isn't. It is just a very long series of baby steps. Learning to walk means falling over a lot. I say this as someone who has spent four years learning the basics and then moved slowly through the pathways...and I still haven't mastered it! in fact there are some of you out there who know more about certain aspects than I do now, and all kudos to you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I want to offer this video link to you. I have never come across anyone explaining so clearly (and amusingly at times) how learning something works. I think it fits exactly what we have been trying to explain to you, things like how important it is to have a firm foundation of the basics. Please, please do watch it and let us know below if it has been useful to you :) </div>

Keep on using The Artiste to create Awesomeness!</div>

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDcmzKkp93x_YRfcglXxvVnFzrZkGZBWiU55t5pUiYbqvE_oUCZQO7ipWn5IW71jovkaEoCBecg5HNpM3AXVCA2YRogzqH-ymZhK2aTOU9LCbJiA3P4uMok7gnRHQXRj6tUNFQ7yMi4ir/s1600/title.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDcmzKkp93x_YRfcglXxvVnFzrZkGZBWiU55t5pUiYbqvE_oUCZQO7ipWn5IW71jovkaEoCBecg5HNpM3AXVCA2YRogzqH-ymZhK2aTOU9LCbJiA3P4uMok7gnRHQXRj6tUNFQ7yMi4ir/s320/title.png" width="320" /></a>When I first came to SL, most shows used this windlight and dancers used face lights which made them look like mini-lighthouses as their face lights were just that - attached to their chins. Back then I experimented a lot with different body lights and using glow orbs to simulate spotlights but I was never satisfied. <br />
<br />
For everyday use I have my windlight set to Starley as I love the crisp look for skins and objects. We have had forced windlights using this setting at different theatres but again, people can just choose to ignore that and the whole effect is ruined. <br />
<br />
So I started thinking about the whole lighting issue all over again. It would be nice if we all had the processing/graphics capabilities to watch shows in Advanced Lighting, but most people have enough difficulty with lag as it is. I concentrated on ways that we could make something look interesting with only normal lighting enabled. It is simple enough to attach invisible lighting prims to sets which will give the desired effects and are not much different to stage lights with colored gels.<br />
<br />
For this particular routine I wanted to try something different. There is a function of the palette which can turn lights off/on and dictate colors.<br />
<br />
I used this in two palettes which were then made invisible and kept as "movers". One was "red" and placed at one side of the stage and the other was "blue" and positioned at the other side. I made one palette slightly higher than the other so that the colors would stay more distinct. The palettes were then programmed to move back and forth across the stage at the same time a number of times. My avatar was also lit by a "white" panel at the front of the stage. If you watch the skin of the avatar you will see the lights playing across the skin. I have also included a reference diagram and then filmed part of the routine with transparency enabled so that you can see the moving palettes.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I decided a couple of months back that a music video might help promote my singing. Apart from anything it would be a challenge and something different from dance videos and I know Sterling loves a challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really loved the song from the moment I heard it and there were a lot of cues in the song but even so all I really had was the one image of the couple in bed and one of them slowly fading out. Sterling said it was do-able so we started with that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He also wanted cut-away shots of me singing so we divided the set space up into two areas. The darker colors of the main set with a more claustrophobic feel and the secondary set with open sky, light colors and a subtle lighting effect of traveling stars. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sterling filmed it all at very high graphic quality and used Depth of Field to get some great shots moving from one character to another. His persistence really paid off. There were multiple shoots from different angles and we chose a quite brooding windlight for the main shots that brought out a lot of detail but added to the oppressive feeling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The shot that made it for me was the final one with the walk down the hall. Again, a series of multiple shots from different angles so it had to be done over and over. I used an Artiste Palette with a single move to achieve the walk and triggered it from the palette menu with the'TestAllMoves' button. It meant we could film it repeatedly with no deviation and get what you see in the video...that almost seamless change of angle from front side and back. One simple function of The Artiste that added so much to the completion! I know it has given Sterling a lot of other ideas about how Artiste Palettes amongst other things Artiste can function within filming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He certainly put in more time than ever editing on this one, matching moves, cutting scenes to fit...a lot more than he usually does filming dance routines which are usually a fait accompli. He also deserves a special mention for the wonderful sound mix he did on the song; awesome job, Sterling! </span>Yummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17864415723912174696noreply@blogger.com3
