I don't know if I'll have enough time to get anything organised in the immediate future, but it would be good to see how many of us there are in or around the London area interested in a meet.

Dear Animation Master User Group, [ Are we still alive? ] We all know that is been a long time since we last got together. Too long in fact. Way too long in fact! I feel the midi-chlorians are beginning to fade and that we need to have an emergency meeting of the mid-Atlantic animation Master users group as soon as possible. There are many exciting things happening in the animation world. Probably one of the most important recent discoveries is http://www.killerbeanforever.com The killer Bean was the first animation I ever saw that really inspired me to get into animation and when I learned that animation Master is a program that was used to create i…

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 hashers! Where do all my fellow Hasher's live? Now we can add ourselves to the USgoogle map called a 'Frapper'... Here's the link: http://www.frappr.com/hashfrapper It's quick and easy to do, you just enter your zip-code (no email/spam). If you wish, you can enter a blurb of text about yourself and even add a photo. Hope to see you there!

Dear mid Atlantic animation master members.( Also opened to anyone interested in coming, new members always welcome and encouraged to come! )It has been light years since the last animation master meeting and it is now 2008 and a plethora of new technology and software is raining down upon us! How will we all survive in this new digital revolution of animation master version 15 that downloadable? Here is the answer. Schedule the next animation master meeting and make it happen! It has been far too long since the mid Atlantic animation master team has joined forces to battle the evils of the digital world. So I put out a call for a meeting of the minds, shining th…

hi everyone, Yesterday's mid-Atlantic animation master meeting was extremely inspirational! Many thanks to our wonderful host Don Davis, providing us with food and a great place to have our meeting. Now, it's time to schedule the next mid-Atlantic animation master meeting. At the end of yesterday's meeting we thought that some time in June would be a good date for the next meeting. We're doing this one a little bit sooner than we typically would because we wanted to get everyone together just before summer so we can get those creative and inspirational ideas flowing. So, here is my proposal for the next meeting date with an alternate date. Meeting d…

As you may know there is a group of us who meet fairly regularly in the Philadelphia area. We are called: The Mid Atlantic Animation Master Users group... or MAAM for short. Recently the idea came up to create animated versions of ourselves. I took on this challenge... uh... I was volunteered? Something like that. Anyway to start the ball rolling I did some stylized portraits of each person in the group. We have Hubakai, Entity, DDavis, Mechadelphia and of course myself, Heyvern. These are our Super Hero identities. During the day we are unassuming members of a small computer user's group but at night we become... I am not in the picture below. I was …

Hi all, Wait a minute, another mid Atlantic animation master user group meeting already? Yes it's true December 1, 2007 is the next scheduled meeting for the animation master users group. Location has yet to be determined but the date has been set. December 1 is Saturday so everyone has plenty of time to get organized, get some stuff rendered, animated and get some tutorials made for the next meeting. Unfortunately it will probably be chilly out and it won't be a deck party but I'm sure we'll all have some holiday renderings to show and tell. This is a general message for anyone interested in meeting up with us from the New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware…

I live in Valencia California. Looking for users who want to get together on a biweekly or monthly basis to teach each other new things with AM, share are work and so on. We can take turns meeting at each others house or we can pick neutral spots that are congruent distances from each other. Requirements. 1. Must live somewhere in the circle below. or be willing to drive for a long time. 2. Must be willing to commit to meetings, a minimum of 1 per month. 3. We need at least 4 people for this to work. I think 2 people are a couple, 3 is a trio and 4 can finally constitute a group. 4. Must be a contributor who plays with AM for work or pleasure at least twic…

See...Isn't is sooo much nicer over here, there's so much more space to work with... and look at the view!!! OK, lets start by getting a general consensus about the date. Starting in May we have 4 Saturdays 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th 13th is the Saturday before Mother's Day, that might matter to some of you (it would to me if my wife wasn't going to be out of the country on business that weekend). I'm leaning toward the 20th or 27th. Maybe we could do the 13th at my house (remember that chili John?) Well, what say you all???

Hey gang!!! Well it's been a long few months since the last one but shouldn't the Mid Atlantic Animation Master Users Group get together soon. There has been some buzz via email. I felt it was time to put a post on to the list and see what everyone is up to and if a gathering could be in our future. So far it looks like we will be somewhere in Pennsylvania sometime in December. But, as usual, its subject to change depending on all of us members. So if you are a MAAM member, or would like to be, live somewhere between Delaware and New York (or further if you don't mind the drive), would like to improve your AM skills, are looking for a sympathetic ear to liste…

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…

Hi Everybody!!! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. It's that time again (at least I hope it is) for the fun and excitement that is the Spring MAAM Meeting. They said we couldn't do it.. but this is our one year anniversary and my thanks to all of you who have made organizing the MAAM meetings a real pleasure. And to all of you who are lurking in the shadows... show your selves! You'd be surprised how much you can learn from just ten minutes of sitting with other AM users and talking over any problems you may be having. I also need to add that when you get more than three AM users together in a room we are able to fly, defy time and spac…

Hi I have seen there are some users on this forum that are from New York and our neighboring state New Jersey. I talked to Luckbat and he and I are interested in starting up a NYC A:M user group. We used to have a NYC user group that was successful in the time it ran. We were even visited and talked to by the guys from Hash when they were in NY! That group has drifted apart a while ago, but now we can make a new group! Anyone that's close by and interested please post and we will try to get something together. Thanks All

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?

I've been animating for a couple years now and I've been curiouse if there where any A:M user groups that have meetings in or around Portland Oregon. Might seem like a laughable question since Hash headquarters is across the river in Vancouver, and Liaka studio is litteraly four miles from my house. But if there is it would be nice to coordinate some sort of meet up, I know Lucky Labs has been more than supportive to local filmmakers, perhapse that is a good spot. Anyway, Im interested to know who's out in my area and completely nuts about making 3D animation - Email sean_delgatto2001@yahoo.com Website: www.novicestarproduction.com I've also …

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

Based on an informal polling of the NYNJAs, we're leaning towards the Monday, January 16th slot at noon. Those of us with day jobs are encouraged to call in sick, that we may maximize our time spent basking in Mr. Colin Freeman's warm glowing warming glow. Please note: if anyone would prefer a 6:00 meeting instead, please post to this thread and state your case. As always, it's majority rule around here. If you live in the New York/New Jersey area and haven't attended a NYNJA MUG meeting yet, now's a great time to start. Don't miss out on all the free food, hands-on advice and big-screen tutorials in Dolby 7.1 surround! As always, the Luckbat loft is availa…

That's right, it's time for another NYNJA MUG get-together, once again at Luckbat World Headquarters in fabulous Brooklyn (135 Plymouth St. #208). Coming your way on Saturday (sorry Joe, you were outvoted!), December 10, starting at noon and ending whenever everybody gets tired of talking about CP weights. If you have stuff you want to show (and you should), either bring your laptop, a DVD of your stuff, or a URL where we can download it. As always, I'll try to dig up some amusing animated shorts to educate and entertain. Last meeting was a blast, so don't be shy--come on out and meet your fellow NY/NJ-area Hashers!

Same location as always, Luckbat H.Q. in Brooklyn, between the spooky abandoned house and the Indian burial grounds. Be sure to mention if you'd like to car pool with anyone, and I hope to see you there! Edit: Postponed until November due to inclement weather. Stay tuned for a new date soon!
