singing face with pixel strings

[babybear]

Logandc99,
   I have seen your Trees and Olaf, That's what has driven me to go with doing the Coro singing faces. I love the colors coming through the Coro. I had setup Bruno the same way you did Olaf. I was just trying to come up with a way to use the Panagayo feature. Again Thank you for sharing Olaf, your Trees and  most of all your creativity.

I'm going try and find some time to sit down and try to work out how to set things up using the Papagayo feature. I'm thinking it'll probably be a lot of trial and error but then, hey, that's the fun part   
But if you manage to work it out before me, I'll be all ears

I'm pretty sure I got it. I think on yours you could do it with only 2 models. one for the body,head back ground.  The second model for the mouth and eyes.  Those you would set up with Faces it the model setup. Its the rendering order that makes this all work. The mouth and eyes over write the head/ body.  Something i will try this weekend.

Been experimenting with the papagayo function with the backlit coro faces and managed to get it to work.
I'm keeping the eyes, nose, head, body and feet as separate models and just added all the mouth parts into one model that is defined as a "face". I've managed to get the mouth to turn on blue to show the words being spoken using the standard method of breaking down the words to the phonemes. The thing that had me stumped for a while was getting the mouth parts that weren't being used during a certain sound to revert to white (as the papagayo function just turns them off by default). Layers was the obvious answer. I made a layer below and made that be constantly ON white. So now as the mouth parts move with the words, the mouth shape(s) making the sound are blue and the ones that papagao turns off stay on white to match the white of the rest of the head.

As I looked over you pix I started to laugh. the presents under the tree...... You are the person where I saw that idea and copyed them. (I made 12)  What you did is what I was thinking just maybe could not spell it out properly. But it works thats what important. Between tonight and tomorrow Ill finish up Bruno (the brown nose raindeer) That will only leave me one more face to make. Patrick or a Tree.  I have X-mas in July coming up.

let me ask, am I the odd one out, back lighting coro? I will have 2 candles, 3 snow flakes, 2 faces, 12 gift boxes plus my Tune to sign.

What template did you use for the icicles or did you make it up yourself. I want to steal.... ah...um..I mean borrow your icicles idea. I want to make a few for this year.

Sorry I have no Icicles or were you thinking snowflakes.   If so I'll put some numbers to it tonight and sent it off in a pdf form

[logandc99]

Sorry, my typo, I meant snowflakes 😄. The pdf would be greatly appreciated.

sorry it took so long had to watch the race and take down my mega tree. Finely got some help.  the flake is a 36inch dia. If I'm missing any numbers just let me know. I did most by feel. On page 3 that was the way I was going to make them.

now after soldering all the lights I coat them with 2 coats of triple thick polyurethane.  did this on my small mega tree star last season

[logandc99]

Fantastic. Thank you. Time for me to head down to Santa' s workshop and make a few snowflakes. 😀
