Awesome, Jim!

Any closer to beta 8 today? - Will it be up before the New Year over in the UK?

Jim Sachs · 12-31-2008, 11:50 AM

If I don't do the purple Gorgonia.

Its like Christmas every week! The long-awaited and much anticipated background movement/life is slowly coming to be!

Thanks again, Jim! :-D

It's up to you, the more movement we ahve the better I suppose, I just can;t wait to see the start of the movement phase!

I can wait for another moving coral.

Well, it doesn't cost anything to upload, so here comes Beta8.

That looks awesome Jim, Thanks so much, Will there be an option to stop individual objects from moving or a global option to enable or disable the movement? Not that I would want to stop the animation myself but others may

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

Very nice , and it doesn't change the fps , not one tiny bit .

Jim Sachs · 12-31-2008, 01:27 PM

I hadn't planned on any buttons to stop animation.

I have no experience of seeing a Sea Fan coral in the flesh, so to speak. But for something that I should imagine would be very easily moved by the slightest current, I think that is just about right. - Perhaps if there could be periods of reduced movement or calm, at random intervals, it might be even better? - Would that be possible? - Or am I Gilding the Lilly ?

G600 · 12-31-2008, 03:47 PM

I agree with that. The movement of the Sea Fan coral looks a bit too repetitive now.

How do you get scuba divers into an aquarium?

Jim Sachs · 12-31-2008, 05:21 PM

Non-repetitiveness is coming.

cjmaddy · 12-31-2008, 05:35 PM

Great!

It just depends on the size of the aquarium

Downloading... a nice start in the new year.
