I get the flock installed, and contained within its sphere, but as soon as I advance the scrubber, even by a frame or two, the flock begins to disperse widely. How to keep them contained within the sphere. And...can the sphere be constrained to a path? Thanks...

I'm putting together a demo animation for a celtic rock band and I'd like some thoughts on the character animation. I'm not entirely happy with the timing but that may be simply myself being overly critical. So I'm looking for another set of eyes on it. There are two files on this page, one is a rm file the other is a large (in size) avi. The url is http://www.scotiapublishing.com/haggis.htm

Hello, List. Here's a brief animation test, featuring Gaty, my alligator boy. It's very short (30 frames, 226 KB). It just shows Gaty jumping back in surprise. My reference was a page out of a Preston Blair animation book. I think I have the same book that Smudge has. Right now I'm copying animators I admire, 'cuz I want to animate like them. Thanks for taking a look! Sincerely, Carl Raillard jump_back_in_surprise.mov

I heard from a friend that Kraft was having a contest for 15-second commercials, and decided to do an animated one. I heard about the contest very late, so I didn't have much time to put it together.

Hello, This my first time posting. I've read for years and decided to jump in and get my feet wet. I'm not new with AM just new at posting.I started with v8.5 and have updated to v14. In the WIP stills in the gallery I've posted 5 stills from a project I've been working on for 8 months, "Alien Invasion" It's about a alien named Martin who travels to Earth to learn. He incounters a lot of trouble especially from the INS. I hope to complete it by some time next spring. Comments on the stills would be appreciated (Positive or negative Welcome) Camillo

It seems that the only way to get a Bulb light is to change the Rim Light [ in Objects folder] from spotlight to bulb. But I found that it changes all the Rim light types in a Project, and in all Choreographies. Is it possible to have Spot Rims and Bulb Rims at the same time?

Clicky Yes, I was so happy when this popped out. I'm working on a Riven-style-interface game that takes place in a moon colony in 2319. This is Version 4.0 of that same room. Maybe I'll be satisfied. The whole reson I'm redoing it a fourth time is because I made the choreography in AM 8.0j, then upgraded to 10.0 (now I'm running 10.5i). When I try to open the choreographies in 10.5i, all the models go to 0,0,0 and scale 100,100,100. Is there a way to get around this, or is it another Animation:Master Oddity? Thanks.

The comic is called Dark Days, it's a sequel to the immensely popular 30 days of night by Steve Niles. I hope he likes it enough to put it in the book as a pin-up or cover. We'll see! I really had to turn off the "make it photoreal" switch in my head since I was going to ink the piece, so it has more of a comic feel. Rendered in 10.5. All geometry, flocking system with 65 bats with a flying action hooked up. 10 hours at 2200 X 3300 on my dual P4 2.8 Xeon (only using one Proc of course). Rendered multipass, 49 passes. Then rendered pure b&w outline toon render. Took into Photoshop and inked with toon render as base. Textures are my…

I'm having a (censored) time putting eyelashes on a model. He's supposed to be somewhere between anime and cartoon, and everything I try looks stupid. (Little brother: there's a reason everything you try looks stupid. Me: shut up, little brother.) I haven't run across any eyelash tutes, does anybody else know of some?

Hi - just finished up the dinosaur project - wanted to thank everyone for all my answered posts about materials. I had no experience w/ materials and decided to do a practice project to get some experience with working with them.

Hello, I recently finished a live action short titled "Time Serpent" my two sons ages 9 and 11 (this is how old they are now not at the time I filmed/video'd them) came up with the basic idea. My boys love to do this stuff and have me add things with animation master. The Short is about 13 MB in mov format (codec is Sorenson? I think) it's not professional but then neither am I. It's in my sbcglobal yahoo briefcase and its set to "everyone" so I'm hoping all that wish to view it can. I'm not sure if they have a limit on downloads so if they do please forgive me beforehand. Also..the model I used as the Serpent was a free model I got off the web somewhere, if you…

Some of you might remember this little guy: I'm making an animation with him for my film class this semester. He needs a battery powered car for the animation, so I started making it. Only the back has been worked on...it'll have 4 wheels when it's done. Textures have not been worked on at all. comments, suggestions?

I've been working on this character for a while. Had to step back and regroup the brain cells that remained. Thanks to Frank Hulsey for his quick how to Model the hair style and to Jim for those tutorials on decaling. I'm using the TSM for the rig with some fan bones. the smartskin has just really really been kicking my #@$%. Any comments are welcomed

Hi, Would love some feedback on this character, good or bad. Especially on what to do with the clothes. I was planning to have some loose fitting clothes, but haven't come up with a design for them yet. Oh, and sorry about all the grain, bloom and blur, I just had to play around with those. Ragnar p.s. He's still got one eye missing.

Here is a car that I made to go with one of my characters. I am no expert on cars but I thought that I would just do a quick sketch and then start modelling. The idea is that is supposed to look kind of flashy and impractical.

My stab at last nights Animation Showdown. Actually the topic was "Cat Burglar! steal something valuable" but I was trying to do this in some way that didn't call on the ghost of Preston Blair. Again, some of the other entries were knock-outs, far above my results. QT Sorenson3 287KB steal_something_valuable.mov

Here's a model I've been working on for the past week, nearly finished. It's a member of the "Great Race", from The Shadow Out of Time by HP Lovecraft (my wife has ceremoniously named it "Lemon Head"). Click here for a short animation test (1.45 MB MPEG-1 with sound). The walk cycle (slither cycle?) needs a little work, and the head neads a little more detail, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. During the process of rigging this model, I have arrived at the conclusion that tentacles are a pain in the ass, but dynamic constraints kick ass.

This character actually has been morphed into three different characters using the same mesh, this is one of them. I'm open to Q&C, maybe there's something I can add to make him look more like a klutz. BGI: His name is Eddie, he's the second oldest of three brothers that lead a life of crime by robbing banks in the 1960's.

Hi, Been too busy enjoying the festive season to post much, but I spent a couple of hours trying out a different way to quickly create heads. I was after a carved puppet feel and I think it worked, especially given the time. Don't know how well it will animate. I had to try and avoid hooks, three point and five point patches, because they don't work with displacement maps, but I think you could just plan these in areas where the displacement is unnecessary. ciao

I think I'm done with my geometry... I'm putting up some screen captures for any design/ modelling criticism before I start bugging (no pun intended) everyone to help me with the texturing. Haven't had the time I've wanted on this, so I haven't made many changes since my last post. Just redid the hands, tweaked his face, put in eyes, made the inside of his mouth, which I can't even see. Anyway, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks -Andrew

This is my very first model ever ever. I have made some stuff in bryce, but it is so different working with A:M. Anyways, I am very welcoming to any comments or tips. Yes, i know the head looks like a box, but I plan on fixing it. Very Highly welcome would be tips about doing the mouth. BTW, I am working on him on the left side, I just used Copy/Flip/Attach to show him off. Head1 Head2 edited to reduce page load time!

My entry in last night's animation showdown. The topic was catching something heavy. (QT Sorenson3 140kb) I spent a long time trying to get the double take to work and never really got it. Still lots of room for A:M people to try this showdown out. It's usually on wednesdays at digitalrendering.com. Ya can't say you don't have time... ya don't get much! The entry always needs to be in divx, does that lock out the Macs?

His name is Boon Dock Billy. Enjoy. Oh.
