Sufi Animation // Work in Progress 1  |   Order by default Post by razzaq1 // Mar 19, 2006, 12:53am razzaq1 Total Posts: 60 Hi there, I'm working on an animation of some Sufi Shaykhs, based on one of the standard tS7 scenes. (rip and substitute) I'm amazed how fluid tS7 is, even when compared to tS6! Anyway, since I can only pass frames from the MODEL to the KFE (thanks for telling me how, Paul A), I had to point my mobile phone at the screen to get this low-res video. I hear truePlay will allow render from Player. I hope so! Anyway, here is the basic idea..... http://www.suficinema.com/Baytmahmour.mp4 6megs For those interested, Bayt al-Mahmour is the Heavenly version of the Kaaba in Mecca. The angels circumambulate around it whilst the prayer energy rises from earth to heaven. The rotating platform is the Emerald Tablet on which it is said that all of the destinies of human beings are written. The spinning calligraphy is "In the name of God, The Benificient, The Merciful in arabic. They are meant to be semi-transparent because made of light. The Shaykhs are true spiritual Shaykhs who are, or are in process of becoming, conscious of constantly being in Divine Presence. Some of the Shaykhs have passed away and the awareness of their experience has passed into the LIVING inheritor of this chain of awareness linking all the way back to Prophet Muhammad 1500 or so years ago. The living link is Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani (in the red cap), others are ancestors or inheritors (deputies). More info at www.suficinema.com for a few videos of shaykhs www.naqshbandi.org for history and principles www.nurmuhammad.com for deep gnostic info http://www.shaam.homestead.com/sallawat_backonline.html for cool sufi music Forget all that bad hype you hear about Islam, these sites point towards the HEART of the religions God willing, you will hear more about these Shaykhs in the media soon. PS I need to reverse the rotation, and change the speed the KFE samples at and learn how to render the frames properly so I get a hi-res animation. ..........it's still a work in progress, and any tech help will be greatly appreciated......meanwhile, back to the manual! :jumpy:
