      Neat! Now to just wait till it comes out as an .exe and then off we go! Way-to-go pose libraries! (I’ve heard they are going to be a feature…)

      Dear english users : the links for videos have been translated for you, just under each french link. Enjoy :)

    • Traven

      hello everybody,
      i’m really happy to see my videos enjoy you ^^.
      As my friend ebrain said the links are now in english, so you must not be lost.

      PS : there is no sound, for less of weight

      pole target, useful, I did that before with empties and other stuff, but that seems better.

      and all the other features, really useful. Videos seem by far the easiest and fastest way to learn new features…

    • Mr. Blender

      really nice but it doesn’t play in windows media player and its in French! (i dont under stand french.)

    • Sorbus

      @ Mr Blender,

      Try VLC Player – it works fine under Windows

    • Psion

      I’ve had no trouble with Windows Media Player, but I’ve added so many codecs to this system that I doubt that means much. But since there’s no sound at all in any of the videos, they’re essentially language-neutral. They just show off the new features.

      And oh my, some of them look tasty!

    • Reaction

      I just get a codec error. If the same occurs for most other Windows users, then it’s a rather silly choice of format.

      @Reaction:
      Again and again, as we have said : if you have codecs troubles, just try VLC media player there -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

    • Tom

      Was the timecode in the cloth demos on Blip by Lascapi done in blender? Is it a script or something?

    • http://darsam.spaces.live.com DramaKing

      Wow, there are videos for an unreleased version? Is this a new record?

    • Traven

      @Tom : this is the option : Time of the Stamp

    • oin

      ehm…

      Zoom Player free version, in windows, no problems…must be a matter of codecs…here played great…I didnt need even hear it, I dunno but I just watch what happens there to understand it. And often is just needed the new parameters…If you know blender, is very self explanatory, ones of the most clear for me… I have downloaded all as will take you mins to learn features that otherwise might get you stuck longer for not knowing the workflow or that or that other parameter…

      looks like, judging by camstudio last screen in their videos, is xvid codec. Also it has that special look of divx/xvid compression, which is quite convenient for playback smoothness/size.I like a lot techsmith codec as well, but that’s way less common.

      I dunno if installing just divx then you can play these, as I think I tested that long ago, and I’ m able to play these, while only have divx. Most tutorials of other 3D packages are in divx codec, so is neither rare that these com in xvid, which is similar. http://www.divx.com , if you don’t find compiled xvid codecs at xvid.org… Actually xvid I think was sort of an alternative to divx in linux platform…not sure, don’t quote me on that…

      merci beaucoup.

      Most of these videos are really awful… Yucky compression, comic sans, bad theme colors, dizzying mouse movements, and too many steps to show off simple processes.

      Bravo, même si vous ne prétendez pas avoir réalisé de vrais tutos, avec mes connaissances de bases, j’ai réussi à reproduire et comprendre certaines “démos”. Intéressant travail…
      A quand les tutos…
