  2. Today
  3. I am starting my website! It is about conceptual "Hyperloop" designs. I have an intersection in motion drawn from the Flownuts Hyperloop Intersection and Puff2 models. The conceptual 'hypertrack' is 15' diameter. The 'hyperpod' or 'hypercart' is meant to fit tight in the track tubes and sized to carry a semi trailer. The website is Flownuts.com or Flownuts.wordpress.com Right now, just to get going, the site is password protected. You could probably guess the password, but just for fun, I'll start with some hints! 1. The password is 4 lower case letters long... The website is still "Under Construction" and probably always will be, but at some point I want the big public opening. The concept of Flownuts is to be nothing short of the biggest corporation ever spanning Transportation and Media. Any input is welcome to envision what Flownuts Corp. looks like, but the website is meant to be somewhat satirical. I don't know about "parody", but given that many Hyperloop companies have done very little, I think it's okay to poke a little fun at them. All will be welcome. Everything is public.
  4. If you haven't seen it elsewhere, this is the famous 1935 memo from Walt Disney to the studio drawing instructor, Don Graham. In this he lets loose on many ideas he has to better the quality of work. Even though he's no longer drawing anything at this point, he is ahead of most of his staff on form and force and motion and acting. Drawing shouldn't just be about representing something accurately, it should make it into something more.
  5. Yesterday
  6. Searching for a MadHatter.
  7. Jason, just want to say thanks for everything you do to help maintain the forum.
  8. Last week
  9. Hello All, For about a mount plus I my real job has been taking over all of my time and I had some personal stuff too. I have fell behind on Animation Master stuff. I'm at work now and have a 4 hour drive back to my office. But I'm going to work through email and PM backlog tonight and tomorrow. I'm really sorry about not being around and I'm back at it
  10. Hi John, in the Hair System, maybe try Dynamic setting like these?
  11. Hello - reply requested either here or in PM. I'm about to give up on AM at this point. A refund of my $300 would be acceptable as well.
  12. needs a haircut at least
  13. Thanks Rob, the problem was that hard drive crashed and it was a struggle to try and get windows up and running again, literally had to install windows to a spare laptop, then clone it to another drive and then boot pc ( Mac Pro 5.1 ) again, I think even if I reinstalled it again on the same drive it would have changed host id, but that ssd look like it was on its way out, have messaged Jason :)
  14. I can see now my head was not clear at the time of writing that. To be honest I can't bear to read it, but I'll leave it as a reminder. Otherwise, I have a project I'm starting back up on that may be of interest to some here. I'll start talking about it in a fresh post, but it involves a website mostly. I just renewed the domain which was a relief, so should be good to start.
  15. The big divide is v13. You can take models and files from v12 and earlier forward to v13 and later but you can't take models and files from v13 and later backward to v12 and earlier. This will be zero problem for your plan to open your old files in modern A:M but in the event of some insanely unlikely reason you wanted to go from modern A:M to v12... that can't be done. That is why I say to not write over your old v12 files... just in case you ever need to use them in v12. Re save them with new file names from v19. Not that you can still run v12 today even if you wanted to, but that's another story.
  16. Thanks Robcat! I'm relieved I will still be able to access those files. I put a lot of work in them and it'll will be fun to start working on 'em.
  17. I'm not aware of any way to prevent that. My suggestion is to send Jason your host id per the directions here... https://www.hash.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=15&id=17&artlang=en and then put your old HD back in your computer and continue working as before until Jason is able to get you an updated license.
  18. Hi all, I upgraded my pc hard drive to a larger capacity by cloning my hard drive and now my license is not valid, checked the host id and it has changed, is there a way to stop this from happening, I wish we still had dongles, would be super good right about now so I dont have to bug Jason all the time, especially when you need transition to a new computer
  19. Paddle in for some answers to your A:M questions at Live Answer Time... Noon CDT Saturday May 24 2025. German-American Painter Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze was born on this day in 1816 Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851) Of course, we all know one should not stand up in a small boat, but that seems minor compared to the fact that there are... two horses... in the next boat over. Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way aka Westward Ho! (1861)
  20. Another test of Transfer_AW weighting on my old Capone head. TAW59_000.mp4
  21. Earlier
  22. lawl . . . all the greatest techno / trance record covers of that time . . . Bryce + Poser yep novelty at best and the god awful rendering speed line by line by line
  23. It's cool to hear other peoples stories, all roads lead to A:M! I played around with Bryce and Poser, but the novelty wore off when needed something other than a procedural landscape with clouds and water. 😜
  24. love your work man 🤘 That's beautiful
  25. I think we had ( Art School ) Ray Dream first, then Moved to Infini D . . . then Lightwave, ( wasnt a big fan ), some of our lecturers were employed by companies and universities using Softimage on SGI gear I was like man can we go to your work and play to which they replied, only if you want to make 3D with command prompts - eeecch!! I thought the isometric graph interface would be good transitioning from graph paper drawings for Ray Dream . . . but it was not and it was slooooowwwww on the schools Macs . . . I picked up AM when I started my first job in advertising, we had to produce some ads and infini d wasnt cutting it, one of the guys at our company told us about Dylan Perry from then Momentum, he made a call and Dylan dropped past with AM 96 / 98 I think, gave us a 15 minute quick start guide . . . I produced 2 x 30 second TVC's like in a couple of hours, the modelling was exactly how it ought to be, the rendering, rigging was so intuative . . . rendering, rigging, the works ! best app ever, ran fast on macs and pcs but it did crash a lot back then ha ha . . . so did you eve use Bryce 3D or Poser lol
  26. In 2002, my friend Paul and I started our own 3D animation studio using the old office that Streamline Media originally occupied. It was one of the most exciting yet stressful times of my life I never thought keeping a sleeping bag in the office closet would be a good idea until then. We were trying many things to promote the studio, Focus Chaos Inc. so I submitted my Valentine's Hash image contest entry to 3D World magazine and then completely forgot about it. It wasn’t until our friend Steve, who rented us the office came in one day and told me he saw my image in a magazine at the bookstore! I still have a copy of the magazine, 3D World May 2002.
  27. I tried Ray Dream Studio 5 recently for the nostalgia of it and it made me realize why I was so happy to find A:M. just moving the camera around alone was so tedious.
  28. did a quick render of it
  29. Hi Will, They should work fine. I have many v11.1 files from long ago that I have opened recently and they work properly. Don't re-save over your old v12 files. This could inadvertently happen if you open an old PRJ that includes MDLs or other files that are NOT embedded in the PRJ and then you do a save of the PRJ.
