Hi Paul, Good looking logo! Put the light in the scene where you want the flare to appear, pointing to the camera. I have put it slightly in front of the logo so it won't illuminate the logo. "Lens Flare" must be turned on in the original copy of the light in the objects folder, but the parameters can be set and animated in the Chor. demo1x.prj

here's a quick render so far and the project file logo.avi demo1.prj

Well I'm back again. I've been coding like a mad man on my startup company and am finally on the downslope side of development. So now it is time to start turning my attention to promotion. For that I am working on a quick video meant to be a teaser of the company and product. The final scene is the logo (attached) which of course was modeled in AM. What I envisioned is the model on a black background, say 2 seconds, ending with a lens flare, or some sort of flash from the top right edge of the sun. I tried with simply lights, and couldn't get what I was looking for. Anyone have ideas on how to pull this off? solus_logo.mdl

This worked to get Python into Visual Studio (so far).

When people say they have trouble rigging what they usually mean is they have trouble CP weighting and/or smartskinning. TSM2 doesn't change that much. However it is the only rig I want to use. I prefer its installation workflow and I prefer animating with it. In the second post above, i directed Edward to a page to get TSM2, which also has two videos that show me going through the whole TSM2 process. I recommend watching those. One of them is about CP weighting.

Does it help make rigging easier?

No, TSM2 is about rigging models, not about the multiple rotoscopes.

Today at Live Answer Time we experimented with the Extruder Wizard and watched Felix the Cat in "Astronomeus"

We'll beat the bushes to get you answers to your A:M questions at Live Answer Time at Noon CDT August 23, 2025. "Nancy" cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller was born on this day in 1905. How to Read Nancy

is this how to prevent the chor glitch and rotoscope glitch? its really annoying

Thanks! Yeah more artistically satisfying to make your own textures, using your own photos or painting them. Your project ends up being more unique in the end.

This page has the TSM2 installer in a zip to download and instructions on how to install TSM2 to v15 https://forums.hash.com/topic/32426-tsm2-for-am-now-free/

hmm how about this one

@svetlik Here is the August 9 2025 LAT video that you were asking about, although I still recommend the Sept 5 2020 video.

Apologies for being a pest but the Sept. 5 video doesn't cover how to find & install the TSM2 plugin. Where do I find it?

Nevermind! I'm watching the Sept.5 video about it. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

Thanks for the help robcat & Ganthofer, got v15 working now. Is the TSM2 plugin something I need to install?

Do you have anything smoother? I can't tell what they are dong with their hands.

lol Just realized what I typed ahaha just ignore those here are some good references instead hahah.

I haven't been to martial arts class for a while. Do you have reference footage of what those are?

Oh wow! That seems a pretty fun process....I kind of want to try different materials now, the results you had with it were fantastic!

HEY HEY HEY!!!! everyone, I’m working on my Krystal character in A:M and I really need some help bringing her to life with actual animated staff actions. I’m looking for someone who can help create a few cool moves, such as: Staff swings and strikes A spinning sweep or twirl A kick-swing combo Blocking/defensive staff actions I’d be super grateful if anyone here could make a few action files or short examples that I can plug into my project. Even just a couple of polished moves would help me a lot and give me a base to build from. Pizza Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Krystal .zip 4b831477a003bfd9eb03c693edb2ec1.bmp

CD? You have a web subscription. You don't want the CD version. You want the "Web Activated Yearly Subscription" Look at my previous post above. I'm downloading the web version and saving "AMWeb.exe" Do an uninstall on that CD version before you install the web version. Remember... all you need to do to activate the web version is to copy the master0.lic file from your v19 folder to the new v15 folder. Also remember that the v15 folder will be in "Programs (x86)" not "Programs"

Copied the AMCD.exe for v.15 to my desktop but it wants the CD in the drive to operate. Is there a serial number I can get or something? How do I get this installed? Any help appreciated.

I'm guessing there was a mosquito he had to whack.
