Thanks for sharing, Michael! I love your work and remember seeing some of your art as inspiration to get me into 3D. I share your enthusiasm for those illustrators, I’ve still got dozens of trading cards painted by the Hildebrandt brothers. It’s amazing how much of a difference even a little bit of art and illustration training comes through in 3D quality, and the quality really shows in your work!

Thanks Roger! I agree with you about A:M not getting the press.

I was able to create an IK constraint on one leg, save the model, reload it, and have the constraint survive and work correctly. So I know it is possible to make a constraint and save it in a model. All the other folders in your "Feet targets" constraint are empty, but I'm presuming they are supposed to have something in them. What rig is this? I'm guessing some step in the rigging process was omitted. If you wanted to bring this to Live Answer Time tomorrow we could look at that.

again I get this queer outcome of loosing foot targets after saving a model. I have a rabbit from the extradvd and I tried to make a bone attachment. I added an umbrella and made new poses for them. The umbrella seems to work, but I don't see my feet targets have any effect. AM19.5AVX rabbit17.mdl

@Michael Brennan Very nice work on the character in the blue jumpsuit, he looks a bit like Jon Bernthal. The model below him is very well done, also.

AM has always been capable of doing the same quality of work, it just doesn't get the press. Sometimes I feel like we should make Rodney Dangerfield our honorary mascot.

I remember Martin telling us that A:M WAS being used professionally, it just wasn't getting credit for it!

Gawrsh! It's time again to bring your live A:M riddles to Live Riddle Answer Time at Noon CDT Saturday April 5 2025. Actor Frank Gorshin was born on this day in 1933 Riddler Frank: Standup Frank: Interview Frank:

found a few old models

Private message me your order number and I will get you the missing activation key. You could also look up your activation key and order information at the link below. https://store.hash.com/index.php?route=account/order

Hi Mark, I am unsure of your situation. A:M is typically sold as a one-year subscription for $79. When it expires you buy a new subscription. There is also a $299 non-expiring version. In either case, the license is for the computer you first activated it on. Trying to use the activation code on a different computer will probably get the "Already used" error. If you wish to transfer an unexpired license to another computer, send a PM* to "Jason Simonds" and explain the particulars. *A PM, a Private Message. You send them at the envelope icon at the upper right of the forum. It's like an email but it's not an email. It's a message on this forum. You click on that icon and then you click on "Compose New"

Hello, I am seeking a new activation key for windows v19 for my legal copy. I have not been able to get any reply from support for a couple of years - what should I do? I may have reinstalled or something - I don't recall. The specific error is - I get an "already used" message. Invoice details are available. Respectfully, Mark Raley

Here is a posing tip I had not encountered before. It may work better for puppets who can never shift eye direction, but it is important that your character appear to have purpose in where he looks.

The tortoise wins races but I don't know dance-offs work.

@Rodney It occurs to me that even if we can find a way to run those three sort programs in week 3... we never get their answer as to which was which.

yeah i wasn't gonna buy it still kinda funny that there is this old site selling it i wouldn't even be suprised if they never shipped it

The ad fine print says That is certainly a very old version, more than 15 years old. Current versions are online-activation only and that old CD copy protection scheme no longer works on modern windows. You won't be able to run that on Win 7 or later. Don't buy that.

after a bit of searching i found a store that sells Hash Animation Master https://www.omegamultimedia.com/Hash_Animation_Master.html which looks a bit outdated so i am not sure how trustworthy it is

Not sure about that codec. I used it because the original becomes quiet large.

@Rodney If you are "signed in," I believe this page correctly links to each week's lecture and "problem set" (about half-way down the page) But you have to be signed in. https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:HarvardX+CS50+X/home

Good point, forgot about VLC. I'll give that a try.

VLC Media Player can do almost anything.

Hmmm Windows Media Player doesn't support the encoding you used for that .AVI file. Anything else I should try to view it?

It was just a silly attempt of me trying to change the catterpillar into another shape. When I had the model with pose it suddenly came to me to copy the keyframe of the baseframe into the first animation. First time I tried the original pose was shattered, but after some smart keyframing I could reach that baseframe. Then it was a question of positioning of the vertices and negleckt the bone hierarchy. h01kbah.avi catterpillar.zip
