I put that next to the Kool-Aid Man for sheer cartoony delight.

Blobs of terror (but they look so cute!)
Great Unit!

Looks very Good ruby_sause... I think Flc speed 60 would look better for the Fidget so they don't appear to Float but that may be what you wanted.

oh Vuldacon, you are right, I had the adjusted flics, I forgot that I need to edit the animtime >_<. thats why they are a bit slow. I update them ASAP.

 

[Vuldacon]

For future units, try adjusting the Frame Rate in Poser to have a faster speed, then you can do some adjustments easier in Flicster when you generate the final Flc. Experiment with this to see the difference it makes.

I am sure you have seen that there is a Range of Flc speeds that tend to work for animations in Flicster better. Some will be too fast and others too slow and many times you will see that you have to set an animation too fast or too slow because there is no good Flc speed that works as you want. The main reason for this is the Frame Rate that was used when rendering the animation in Poser. Really just a matter of doing the math for the number of frames and the length of time desired for the animation.
Poser makes many frames for each of the frames we see. It will use the frames needed to make the animation play back at the speed we set the Frame Rate. What we see in the playback is not exactly how the finished animation will play. Use the Frame Rate setting as the Best Guide to make an animation play back as wanted...use math to set the Frame Rate rather than what is seen when playing the animation in Poser.

nah, the problem with the flicster framerate being slower is because somehow when I export a .flc, the animation time is ALWAYS, no matter what I do, 1875, wich results in an ingame .flc with the framesrate set to 125 (even when I set it to 65, for example, in flicster). I know how to fix this, but I forgot to do it at first with the new .flcs ...

 

[Vuldacon]

In Flicster on the Export page, click "Frame Delay:" and set what you want there. IF you set the animation speed using the slider in Flicster, select "Current Viewer Delay".

 

[ruby_sauce]

I know, I do that, but it just exports with 1875 as animtime.

I explained the problem, and Rifleman explained to me how to fix it in

[Cheezy the Wiz]

That is so awesome.

 

[Vuldacon]

ruby_sause... I never had that problem with Flicster in all the years I have used it but what I said Regarding the Frame Rate in Poser differs from the problem you had with Flicster.

Darn, the phong-reflections look really good on that king-thing
