Has anyone here ever done any business with Low-D Productions? I have been looking for someone to make a walking up and down stairs animation, in what seems like forever, for some of my rooms. Someone recommended Low-D Productions so I contacted them. They said they would do it for $20 an hour. I know that sounds outrageously high or at least it did to me but I really want this animation very much. So anyway, I paid them $40 at the beginning of March and they said it would only take a couple of hours to do this project but the person that took the measurements didn't do it quite right so she claims that it is going to take quite a while longer. I am very frustrated that this isn't working out the way I had hoped. I know that everyone will probably say that I should learn from my mistakes, well, I am. I really wish I could figure out how to do this myself so I wouldn't have to depend on anyone to do it for me. Sad

Can I put an existing mesh of the stairs in so I can make the animation for them?

You would mesh a tool that measures the existing stairs so that you can make a dummy set in your meshing program to add your animation to.

In the example below the tool is the coloured grid, when it was loaded to IMVU and placed next to the stairs they reached to the bottom edge of the blue B square etc. Now you can see how to replicate a set of stairs ready for you to work with when you create your animation.

Forgive me but I am a totally newbie at all of this. I am mainly trying to learn animation because I want a walking up and down animation. If you could possibly explain how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it. I know I'm probably asking too much but I really want to learn this.

I was just giving an example of how you would bring the stairs you want to add your animation to into your meshing program to cut out the guess work. You would need to use 3Dmax to do the whole thing and that's not a program that I use.

3Ds Max is the program that I have but I've never used it so that is what I'm looking for guidance on how to use it.

I don't actually have a mesh. I was hoping I could just make a walking up and down stairs animation for an existing set of steps from a room that I own. The mesh belongs to someone else.

Trying to make an animation for a mesh you have made yourself can be problematic and to try to do it for a mesh that you didn't make yourself is fraught with even more problems. It only needs one tread or riser to be of a different size to the rest to throw the animation way out.

As Zara correctly pointed out you can only make that kind of animation in Max and since that is an activity some experienced Max Users can find daunting it certainly should not be attempted by somebody who has zero experience of Max and/or being a Content Creator on IMVU

Your best bet is to start a thread in the Product and Content Request Forum - http://www.imvu.com/catalog/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpbb2&file=viewforum.php&f=12 - where you will stand a better chance of finding somebody who has the skill and time needed to create a "custom animation" for you.
