I do not know what is going on with AMFILMS right now so I took it down. I'm really busy for the next 2 weeks but I'm going to try to put some time into it. After the paid update that was sold as fixing the uploads we now getting porn spam. I'm not 100% sure how right now I thought it was the the super easy password the company used with out removing my admin log in so I did not know but that was not it.

While reading Martin's post from earlier today, Stolen Smells, I followed the link to YouTube, and then happened upon the Hash CG History channel on YouTube (very cool, if you haven't checked it out), and it reminded me of a project I had worked on in a day gone by... TBT Circa 1998 - Review and Herald New Releases 1998 conference! https://youtu.be/sHgrs2pu6Z8 I had worked on a video to announce all the books that would be released that year by the Review & Herald Publishing Association, and a live action Book Store Manager would be meeting some Interesting Characters! The T-Rex (in the linked video) was one of the interesting characters! There we…

A "Drivers" folder seems to show up under a model in the Objects folder when you change a parameter to something that was external to the model. For example, if you drop a green shiny material on model of a vase, your vase will become green and shiny. If you edit the color of that material in the shortcut that is in the model rather than in the original material in the Materials folder, a Drivers folder will be added to the model that seems to contain that custom change. Or does it? If I delete that Drivers folder, the custom change I made doesn't go away. For further confusion, these drivers sometimes acquire keyframe curves with values changing over time…

This is a branch off of the other Rendering discussion that more directly relates to the camera and its settings rather than various rendering approaches and such. For instance, I don't ever recall using the 'Use for new cameras' setting on the Render tab. Perhaps I'm just very forgetful. The feature is highly useful for getting cameras to stay in sync with settings assigned in the Render Panel or at least start from that base. If you've got any tips or suggestions or favorite approaches regarding use of the Camera in A:M I'd love to hear them. I'll add a few more myself along the way. Added Tip: Just below the 'Use for new cameras' option is 'Sav…

Please let us know if you have any issues with that feature and we will investigate.

I just tried v19l Netrender and it doesn't seem to find the paths to all the various components; forcing me to lead it to every model in the chor. I tried consolidating the project into a new folder but it stopped after loading the project, not asking to select a chor. Would someone please confirm this in case I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.

I have uploaded a very simple project which might present an area of discussion on Saturday Live. I am familiar with setting poses for "percentages" but I am less knowledgeable about Poses that are "On/Off". I am wondering if the topic for discussion can be adding an On/Off pose to this simplistic arm with one Pose being IK and the other Pose being FK..? PoseTest.prj

Sometimes Markers don't show in the Chor I've found that it has something to do with a particular object being selected or not selected. Markers showing while "Shortcut to Lot" is selected... Markers not showing while "Shortcut to Lot" is not selected... I've reported the bug. For now, I was able to make the markers appear without "Shortcut to Lot" being selected by deleting its keyframes and remaking them. Fortunately it didn't have many.

Hi everybody as in each year there is a new advent calendar for 2020 again which has been created with the help of Animation:Master again. Not everybody might know what a advent calendar is: The calendar runs from the 1st of December to the 24th and each day there is a small little door which can be opened to receive a little gift. Most of them are chocolate in general, but there are many more from toys (not only for children sometimes) to anythin else. As I am working in an advertising agency in this calendar we show you a new funny, thoughtful or just well done commercial each day. (no, those are not all from us or something... those are just great…

How many times has this happened to you? You line up the perfect Birds Eye View to move that spline or rotate that bone and then you realize you need to go to a different Birds Eye View to hide some mesh first... and then you'll need to refind your current view! D'oh! Or maybe you sneeze while you're Turning the view and everything spins away to who-knows-where! Gah! If only you could get your view back! When you are in a standard Orthogonal view the Numberpad 7 key will take you back to the last-used Birds Eye View... but that doesn't work when you're already in a Birds Eye View! You need the amazing Birds Eye View Queue! …

This time around we did create a little bit of a different design to better suit our mini campaign around christmas presents. That means this time around the image isn't created with A:M. As always you will find our Christmas Calendar here: https://advent.3we.de But I started to create a goat in 3d anyway and got already pretty far, so I am working on it still to get this look back ;). (Do you know that moment if you did a great job and then you are just not able to get the same look back after changing a couple of things to make it even better? That is exactly what happend here with this one...) Hope you like it ;). Best regards *Fuchur*

I feel a bit like I've just woke up in an alternate universe. This has been a thing for a few years now and I'm just now discovering it.

I purchased the license earlier this year (2023) and after some confusion was able to register the license, but now it seems to be no longer linked to this machine. I have not installed it on another computer. Please advise.

I'm using the 3d connexion space navigator with the "Anywhere" driver and noticed the Zoom and Pan up/Down seemed to be transposed. Zoom functions as Pan up/down and Pan up/Down functions as Zoom.

This is just a ultra simple look at what the Repeat and Seamless settings do for images in A:M. Note that the default setting for images is to Repeat only once so the Seamless setting doesn't do much with that. Once there are two more more images repeating however then the Seamless setting will flip the images so that the textures/images match up for seamless tiling. In this way you could use A:M to perfect seamless textures but of course there are other paint programs out there that are designed specifically to do that. http://www.screencast.com/t/Ol1FdmJ3ym

Here's a mostly undocumented feature in v17 that will be primarily of use to folks that login to the A:M Community. It can be useful for schools and small studios who want to deliver custom content and information into the A:M Community tabs. The Support tab in the A:M Community can be replaced simply by dropping an html file named 'Support.html' into the root folder where A:M was installed. For instance, if A:M installed to C:\Program Files\Hash Inc\v17 any html file named 'Support.html' found there will show up in the Support tab instead of the default support page. Fuchur designed a beautiful page to illustrate the possibilities with customizating the supp…

Hello Everyone, I know that new videos on amfilms.hash.com do not play for some reason. I do not know the reason at this time but I will soon. But it will not be till Monday 03/04/13 till I can take more of a look at it. Since we are packing right now for ECC. I have also been slacking on working on the old films site but when I return I'm going to have another go at it. It is just one of those projects every time you try to get into it. There is either something better to do or something you can make more head way at. But I know it would be good to get it running. We were also taking about adding re-links from amfilms.hash.com to vintagefilms.hash.com to fix some ol…

You can now upload the videos and they should play like they use to. After the 'hack' I did an update and reinstall when we first got the software it was not working so I had clip-share log in and fix it. They never told me what they did and if an update would break it. Well it ends up the update did break it the use "-vop" not more supported "-vf" so it's fixed and if there is an update again I will remember to check that. Now I just need to get the YouTube uploader installed again and that will be done and I can get back to vintagefilms. I sent a email to the people that lost videos in this since the master was lost too.

This image won't make much sense to anyone but I want to post it to remind me to delve into this area further. What it represents is a rapid workflow that didn't exist before v18 (the process could be done but not in its current form). The basic concept is this: Phase 1 Modeling - Create a simple shape/object (in this case a simple can) - Create a new Action of 5 or 6 frames in length (the number of frames really depends on what you want to produce. In this case I wanted to place a few cans in psuedo random fashion on/near an imaginary ground plane) - Turn Onion Skinning on (it's best to add this to your toolbar which you can do in v18... adjust the oni…
