Meloware's 3d Page
Attention Blender Fans! These pages are very old and outdated. For now, I will try to leave them online. Please understand that much has changed with Blender, and these pages and scripts are no longer supported Meloware is now a Mp3 audio download service, which offers high quality recordings from the beginning of the 20th Century Please check it out, download some mp3's, and listen to them a few times. They can really grow on you! This is a great form of entertainment, and not something which is controlled by today's mass media. To begin browsing Meloware's Antique Phono Record Archive, click here.

The Animation Library, a .blend and tutorial
Some Fun, Reusable Animation, for Everybody. Read the Discussion, and Learn How!
The anim.blend (anim.zip) library file, has been changed, so that all Entry and Exit keyframes are set for Vector Handles. This will prevent most of the strange 'bouncing' and 'exploding' which often happens when key of the type 'Bezier' were edited together.

Here's a crude preview video from my sadly unfinished (and undefined) black and white silent epic "Ruben Haskin's Trip to Town". About 17 seconds. I strongly suggest downloading the Div-X AVI file, if you are set up to play it. It is much better quality, and is nearly half the file size of the MPG.

Requires Blender C key (v. 1.74). A python script, which allows you to make an animated object follow any path of motion, from another object. The speed and behavior of the 'child' object is defined by an independent IPO curve.

This Model uses a Python Script and a C-Key is Required Before Blender Version 1.8
Rotating the Y axis of object Main_wheel, and the IPO block "ObIpo.006" control the motor's normal operation of all the working parts except the crank. The crank, and spring ratchet are controlled by the Y axis rotation of the object, Crank_gear, and IPO "ObIpo". All other motions are controlled by the Python script.
