At Live Answer Time today we watched the very first animation treatment of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" Produced and directed by Max Fleischer as "A Jam Handy Picture" in 1948. Of the four credited animators ... Howard Kakudo ... animator Robinson McKee ... animator Fletcher Smith ... animator William Sturm ... animator ... only Sturm has a substantial IMDb trail, having been a former Fleischer Studio animator. The original Rudolph story was written by Robert May for an ad campaign for the Montgomery Ward Department stores in 1939, I recall. All of this precedes the famous Johnny Marks song (1949) and, of course, the 1964 Rankin/Bass production.

Welcome back to A:M! I'm unsure of what you mean. You already have it but need to update it? Do you have a one-year subscription or a non-expiring sub?

Hello again everyone, it has been some time since my last use of AM, life has played a large part and kids. But hey I'm back full of fresh ideas and I'm ready to get back to creating, I am using V19.0, what is the best way to go about getting my software updated and current? Suggestions please and Thank You.

Yup, that was the reason.

There has been many requests for a linux port but this would result into so much work from the developers. However, there is a company called Codeweaver that provides a service called Portjump and they claim they can speed up the process. Would it really help.

Is it possible you have an ad-version of Filezilla? https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/17erdd5/why_filezilla_is_triggering_antivirus/?rdt=42959

Filezilla wouldn't install for me in Windows 11 (it thought there was a virus in the installer), so I used WinSCP (it is also free). Make your Host: ftp.hash.com, set file protocol to FTP and check the anonymous login box. Once you are logged in, browse to the pub/updates folder, choose your OS's folder, then select the folder for the version you want. Hope that helps.

Hi Edward, v19.0p is the newest and last version of v19.0 The latest version of v19.5 is v19.5d which can be found here If you are looking for older versions of old versions, they are on the ftp site but common web browsers no longer support ftp To do ftp exchanges you will need an ftp client. Filezilla is free

wait.., it looks as if they are still saved in the original file. forget the question.

I made a model with lots of loosing ends coming out of it. My goal is to use it several times with use of dynamic constraints. So I added all loose ends with several dynamic constraints with different weights and saved the file. After using this file in an action with succesful weighted effect I saved it under a new action name. When trying to use the start action with the saved file all my dynamic constraints are gone. Is this a common fact, or isn't it possible to reuse a file that has the dynamic constraints already confirmed?

Currently using v19.op but want to see if there's a newer version I could install but when I try to go to the AM FTP site it wants to open up Edge. Is the FTP site where you get updates? Been so long since I've done that and don't remember. Am I going to the wrong link? Any help appreciated.

Camel in the Parking Lot

Finishing the animation. Four new poses coming soon

this as about a 30 minute tinkering frosty.prj

That is normal... first you need to export a model with the rig and then you attach actions (as many as you want) to it. Have a look at this video-tutorial to get it right: https://www.patchwork3d.de/am-to-directx-63-en Best regards *Fuchur*

I am trying to get some animations into the GODOT engine, but the direct X exporter goes to and OPEN window instead of save... Any thought? @Fuchur

Something like this? KaBoom09c rollin nudge back.zip

Hey great Rob! I'll check it out!

Short version: You animate the root of a chain to move around you add a dynamic constraint to the last bone in a chain, either in a Pose (which must be ON in the model) or in the Chor. Scrubbing the timeline will give a real time approximation of the dynamic behavior To bake it in for rendering, in the Chor and choose "Bake Dynamic Systems" and re-save your PRJ. You can un-bake a simulation with Remove Simulation Data There is a substantial Tech Talk on the Tech Talk Page https://forums.hash.com/topic/13249-tech-talk-series/

I tried duplicating the swinging tail but realized, when I picked "dynamic constraints" from the drop down menu, I did not know what to do next? Is there a tutorial somewhere on dynamic constraints?
