buzz forums

Autodesk Toxik is a commercial software to make video editing, compositing, fx and such.
What's fun is that it works a little like Buzz. There is gens (pictures/video) and Fx and a master called output
Nodal workflow



There is an interesting thing in the way you connect 'machines' like here :



A kind of 'wheel of choices' appears when you want to connect bloks. Maybe this could be an interesting features to use in Buzz ?

For those who are interested here is a description of the software, both in english and french :

maya has had a similar context menu for years and it's users have been hating on it forever, I've always liked it

blender too.


edit:

missread,you mean the wheel.

You're right even if it seems more in a Blok's way.
Didnt know about Maya. I'm more around 3ds max and now I'm trying Blender which is awesome, a kind of Buzz in 3D graphics

iirc there actually is an add-on for Blender that pops up a sort of similar wheel.

(Anybody who gave up on Blender before 2.5 really ought to give it another look)
(silly little test I made a couple of years ago - James Bond-ish cat standing in front of a screen shot of Buzz)

I wish Buzz' multi-IO connections were working this way too.

Ah! Great cat, snow You did a good job on this one. You did all the 3D of the cat (body included) ?
Joa, who knows, Buzz is in perpetual movement
Anyway, this is another proof of Oskari's genius as it used it in 1998!!!

Thanks! Yes, body and head from scratch. It has a full armature and deforms pretty cleanly, but I've never done anything with it.
Here's the one I went the farthest with: a picture my daughter drew dancing to a Shytan piece -- Paper Dancer

Cool one, very well done. Truly interesting
I have to say that 3d creation is something amazing as it's a new artistic branch.
It uses new rules and law. Fascinating
Another 3d oldie I did is attached below (in zip as avi are not allowed...).

Apple Shake did modular ages ago.

Nice! What did you make it with? (And by the way, who else are well-known Frenchy Buzzers besides you and tinga?)

Hi Snow,

thanks, I made it with 3ds Max.
As far as I remember the frenchybuzzers were not very active here at buzztunes.
Tinga is TEH guy
The frenchybuzzers forum disapears one day as the host closed it (and all the forums created in the place, a bit like Buzzchurch...).
But I'm very excited by Blender even if I like 3ds max a lot.
