Just had random thoughts of SIGGRAPH and AMLA running through my brain so I thought I'd post and see if AMLA tries to take advantage of SIGGRAPH's presence in the city. Any AMLA members hanging 'round?

Hi guys, there is an Animation Master User Group Los Angeles. We don't meet as often as I'm sure any of us would like. We are all quite busy and most of us are working professionals. All levels of A:M users are welcome at all times and there are no fees nor dues. My name is Frank Silas (http://www.franksilas.com). Beverly Turner , Dr. Eddie and myself are the founders of this group. We usually find a nice place that will host us free of charge. At this point in time we are looking for a new place in the Los Angeles area to host our next meeting. I need to go in for surgery so I don't think we'll be having another meeting until after November of this year. Yo…

Hi everyone, I posted a message similar to this almost two years ago. I got a couple of responses, but not much else. I'm still looking for any A:M users in central FL who might be interested in getting together. I live in Ocala, which is about 1/2 hour south of Gainesville. I can drive to Tampa or Orlando if the need arises. So, let's try this one more time! -Sean

Howdy folks! New to Animation Master, but I'm learning.... Still, in order to do what I want, I'll need help. Preferably, people in the Sacramento area in California. Reason? I'm starting a team to make web-based cartoons, and eventualy PC games, but the major dream is to become one of the greater gaming companies, PC and console. Now, I can't give any details now, since I'm still in the process of copyrighting and trademarking everything, legaly through the system, so they dont get stolen. I'm curious to see if there's anyone interested? I seriously need some more animators, since it's just lil' ol' me doing it by myself. I'm just getting started, still have t…

It has been a long time since the Atlanta group got together. With Colin out of the hospital now, we needs to get one scheduled. We have met in Atlanta the times I have attended. We have talked about possibly meeting in Chattanooga. Martin has hinted he may be interested in providing shirts etc.... Just let me know your preferences. As an alternative, we could meet at my home. We live in between Atlanta and Chattanooga, right off the interstate. Depending on the weather, we could have a volleyball game afterwards. Families are welcome. We will have wireless access setup and refreshments. Please let others in the Atlanta, Chattanooga area know,,…

Could I be the only one? I hope not. I moved here to Rochester in September, and have been severely missing the Chicago group. I've even thought of going to the NYNJAMUG meetings, but it's a bit too far for me. I'm hoping there are some more AM users around here that are interested in having some meetings to discuss problems, issues, techniques, etc. Buffalo and Syracuse users, make yourselves heard, too! Hope to hear from you fellow Roch stars! Carl

Hi folks, I've seen various posts abouit A:M users here in Florida and I was wondering if there was any interest in forming an A:M user group in the Central Florida area. I live in Ocala, so I'm within driving distance of the Orlando/Tampa area. I've been using A:M for several years (on and off!) but I still consider myself a newbie. What do you think? Any takers?

Hi there, Since it seems we've got at least a few fellow Hashers in the central FL area (Orlando area, Tampa, Ocala, etc.), is there any interest in getting together and possibly forming a user group?

Within the next decade they expect a big movie to come out of some one's home. I'd love to be a part of that. I've been writing short stories for years and have recently written a screen play for a Sci-fi/Action adventure. I asked some friends if it was possible to Animate it and that led me to A:M. I have some drawing abilities, but no animation experience and surely not computer animation, but I'm learning. But I need help. I'm looking for a group of 2 to 4 people to help me produce this 1 hour film and if this takes off possibly producing more films. At the very least a group of individuals willing to get together to help each other learn the fin…

Hi, guys, I just got hired to do a music video in which there is one shot where my main character reveals that she is an angel. I really liked to realistic/creepy feel of the wings that are attached to Shia LaBouf ("Chaz") and Tilda Swinton ("Gabriel") in CONSTANTINE. I know that this is a tall order and a large part of the solution will be great A:M work (v12). I need some tips from a modeller/aimator/texture perspective as far as how I can make the wings as "realistic" (and non-cartoony). I imagine shooting the needed shot against a greenscreen would be a great start. I am also concerned about getting a nice transluscent "feather texture", something that se…

I like Ferdinand's presentation of this very important principle of animation. FcuGgJu8Y6M One of the things I like about the tutorials over at Animator Island is how they (or more specifically Ferdinand Englander) tend to layer in a lot of concepts that are often treated separately. His is a great example of 'learning by teaching' in that Ferdinand gets better and better at animation with every interview he conducts and every tutorial he publishes. More power to him. If you don't frequent Animator Island often it's well worth a visit from time to time: http://www.animatorisland.com/

Hey guys, My teacher is a professional Graphic Artist with programs of Photoshop and Illustrator. However, she just had the school district install AM v.12 onto our computers and she wants me to help her teach it, because I'm the only one who's ever used it in this class. However, I taught myself and never really completed projects that required set time consumptions and were made to allow you to progress easily by gaining knowledge. Could anyone give me an idea of what to have my teacher teach first, and maybe suggest a schedule which we could follow? I can try and find actual projects in the Student discussion area on the forum. Thanks guys! …
