Look at this example using the template from my guiline contest: http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=example+Flarenya1 notice also that the muscles are spread out over the wave pallet so they are equally apart from each other. tuning is the real key though, gravity and wave amplitude need to be adjusted carefully to get it to "roll". -w

Ataensic »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 18-Nov-02 23:47   »»  i know it's kind of crude, but can someone tell me how quirky_flier works? is it the same concept as kinetic_pumper? Here's the 2 links: http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=Ataensic+quirky_flier http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=Ataensic+kinetic_pumper That model link source is sooo useful. No more searching the threads for a valid link. -Ataensic

Ataensic »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 18-Nov-02 23:49   »»  sorry to double post, but are there accounts with names "examples" and "Examples"? or is it soda-made, like display? -Ataensic

Flarenya »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 18-Nov-02 23:54   »»  Hey if i knew i'd tell you but,.... i dont! lol Flarenya

Kevino »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 00:03   »»  Hi Riddlen, I like that 'rubymotor' idea. Like warptera said, I made another 'set of guts' ie, two of all the moving parts, and I timed them opposite each other.. I couldn't duplicate your's exactly, so I just drew the whole thing again.. http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=Prototypes+Rhymin_Ruby With both sets of moving parts, you can make two sets of legs & feet so that it walks. Hope you like it! Kevo

Feel free to post here whenever you need help. Hopefully other people will comfortable sharing their knowledge too on these boards if we keep it constructive. I know many great constructors who have let their presences diminish due to annoying spam. That is a great loss! Ataensic, Yes, "Example" and "example" are accounts (i got tired of the capital "E"). But they are not like "display" as that account is tied into soda and is administered by ed. The first two are just a place for me to keep examples that I post on the boards. I used to just use my "warptera" account but I keep my workspace notoriously clean and i'd always delete things too early. -w

warptera »» models »» homepage Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 00:43   »»  Flarenya, It kinda walks if you program it like this: http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=example+Flarenya2 but it would be more effective if you measured the legs with a guideline. In zero-gravity, with wave amplitude at zero, each pair if legs should look identical. -w

Flarenya »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 00:47   »»  That's exactly what i wanted it to do! Thanks! I kept trying and trying to make it work, Thanks! --Flarenya

Flarenya »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 01:22   »»  Ok here's my latest update (come on warp im talkin' to myself here) It still doesn't work! What the heck?! http://sodaplay.com/constructor/player.htm?&getmodel=Flarenya+GRRRRRRR

Flarenya »» models Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 01:23   »»  I even looked at your model, what's wrong with it?

warptera »» models »» homepage Re: ===Dedicated Help Thread=== *new constructors please read p.1 first!   posted: 19-Nov-02 01:29   »»  Sorry flarenya, this isn't a chat room. I'm doing some constructing and watching my friends play tiger woods golf. I check the boards pretty often but you still need to be patient. your GRRRRR rendition is programmed correctly, the problem is that the legs need to be constructed accurately. Use a guideline and make every length exactly the same. then reprogram and your good to go after some tuning. -w
