I am trying to make a mulifuncional robotic arm, the type that has loads of things hidden inside it, say a battle droid that can change which ever weapon he is using. Does anyone have an idea about how I would make each weapon “apear” each time i want it to come out of the arm, instead of trying to fit all of the pieces in together. Does this just involve doing the scene bit by bit for each weapon.
Cheers, Dave.

Does any one have any ideas about how to have a piece of cloth i.e. a cloak and make it follow and interact with a boned character? - I assume the cloth will have to be outside the capture region so that the solver will work properly but then it is not going to move with the guy. Any thoughts please…

I have got the sprites to render as circles by following the 3DBuzz vid, but the particles will not render with the correct colour (from the Color Pop). pops are not covered in the vid. Any help with this? - it is displaying correctly in the viewport and the attribute sop trick from before will not work with sprites.

I have looked at these videos and I cannot see what I am doing wrong, perhaps I am just missing something. If someone could check my file just to see if I am doing something silly. Cheers.

I have a pop network with a simple sprite and colour nodes. When I try to render my image all I get is grey planes - not with no transparency or shading. I looked at a previous post about how to change the colour - using an attribute SOP with Cd to Diff. However this removed the sprites from my render, even though they are in my viewport. Could some one tell me how to fix the sprite problem and how to get the transparency to render.
Cheers.

Is there a way to render a scene with an obstace infront of an object you want to render without rendering the obstacle but still producing the gaps in the target object.
I need to do this so that I can have something passing behind someones head that I can composite later on and then add the head on later. This would be quicker than just adding the top layer onto the object without gaps as I would not need to search through for the bits where the target passes infront of the head.
Any ideas or alternative suggestions would be great.

Could some one please explain how you get sliders to have key frames in a custom panel or (as I have a feeling that that is not the correct way to animate) how you add key frames at the SOP level.
Thankyou
Dave.
