Are you still interested in making videos from Flash? If so, I do it by exporting from Flash as an image sequence (under Export Movie I think).

Then you can import it into another program to join the stills up to make a video. I usually export PNG stills as they're quite small files. Quicktime Pro will do it, but costs $30 I think. Alternatively, you can use the free program Virtual Dub (search for it online) to make AVI videos.

Hope this helps. Just Private Message me if you want more details

I also done some instruments. Is a while ago and it was in Maya though. I made a basic samba set and let it play.
I am probably going for this mass animation project on Facebook tomorrow. I had a look and funny enough...all of the characters (except one) are instruments. The files are also in Maya.

Anyway...i had a look in the net and I found a very interesting site. Its a site for artists who are interested in materials and shaders....

here the link to a silver shader:

Have fun!

At 12:38pm on November 16, 2008, Jens said…: No worries, Alison! I am also going to use Gimp instead of Photoshop, and Blender instead of Maya. The procedures are quite similiar in these programs.

At 3:18pm on November 14, 2008, Jens said…: Hi Alison,

you told me yesterday, that you are interested in textures and Blender.
Well, I forgot to tell you, I am reading a very good book about it. It called "[digital] Texturing & Painting" and is written by Owen Demers. It is the crosswalk of doing textures "analog" to understand making textures in digital programs like Gimp, Photoshop, and Blender and Maya.

Probably you know this book already, if not, I like to commend it to you.

At 10:30pm on July 9, 2008, Alison said…: Hi Lloyd, Thanks, I would love to borrow the Blender book some time but not just yet as I have some more tutorials to work through from www.cartoonsmart.com
I am learning a lot from these. And I have some unfinished animations, and other stuff I need to get on with first. And I'm off to London for a family gathering the weekend after next. And work tomorrow and Friday, and I need to plan for my groups...I am glad I can atleast send messages on this site...And this time the email that came to me, telling me that you request to be my friend, led to a link to accept friendship request. I've not seen that before...I clicked 'I accept'...I don't know if it worked...I'll check my friends page again...
I'm using a PC that my partner put together, with Opera as its browser.

Lloyd

At 8:16pm on July 9, 2008, Lloyd Raworth said…: Hi Alison, it was nice to see you again. Let me know if you'd still like to borrow the Blender book. It's called "The Official Blender 2.3 Guide" and I've hardly had a chance to look at it so you're welcome to use it.
Lloyd
