Framanip Pro V1.0 animation sequence viewer for free


FRAMANIP PRO is now is available for download here: http://www.ranchcomputing.com/V_framanip.php It's an animation and image viewer created for 3D animators. It displays individual frame sequences in real time, using your computers RAM.

It can do many things including:
  • Display any BMP / TGA / TIF / PNG / JPG / JPEG2000 sequence at any Frames per second rate (FPS).
  • Resave all the frames in different file format.
  • Resize or crop all the frames of your animation and resave as a new sequence.
  • Tell you which frames are missing from your animation sequence.
What like about it is that it's a portable .exe, which means you don't have to install the program, you can just dump it on your desktop or wherever and your are good to go. I also like that it loads the frames to RAM really quickly. And of course I like the fact that it's free:)

What I would like to see in the next version is suport for more file formats, such as .rpf/rla etc. and the ability to see just the alpha channel of rendered frames.

How to create a mirror with 3ds max and V-Ray

Creating a mirror with 3ds Max and V-Ray In this tutorial we will create a simple, framed mirror with 3ds Max. We will then create the V-Ray materials for this mirror, and finally we will render out a simple 3d scene, showing reflections in the mirror. I am assuming that you have a basic knowledge of 3ds Max, so I won't explain absolutely everything, but it should still be easy enough for beginners to figure out what is going on in this tutorial. Step 1 Creating the mirror surface. Create a box in the front viewport that is approximately 70cm x 40cm x 0.4cm (Note, it doesn't have to be exactly this size and if you would prefer to work in inches or other units, that's also okay, I'm just used to working in cm.) Step 2 Create the actual V-Ray mirror material. Open up the material editor and change the first material in the material editor to a VrayMtl. Rename this material "mirror surface" and make it totally reflective, by making the reflect col

How to create a wireframe material with V-Ray

Welcome to this tutorial on making a wireframe material with V-Ray. To complete this tutorial you will need 3DS Max with V-Ray. Step 1 The fist thing we need to do is create an object that we will apply our wireframe material to, in my case I made a simple teapot. Add a camera to the scene too. Step 2 Create a normal V-Ray material. (Open up the material editor and change the first material in the material editor to a VrayMtl). Rename this material "wireframe" Step 3 Add a map to the diffuse channel of the material (by clicking the little square box next to the diffuse colour swatch). Choose the VRayEdgesTex map. Step 4 You will notice that the default colour for the VRayEdgesTex map is white. (This means the wires of the wireframe material will be white. You can change it to any colour you like, but let us leave it as white for now. Notice too that you can change the thickness/units of the VRayEdgesTex map and that you can choose to show the hidden edges too. (t
