I'm having a real problem getting the data off the cd onto my hard drive.I've followed th instructions as to navigating to library file after copying it to the root directory of AM but it seems the name of the copied Lib file is related to the CD. Any ideas anyone? I've emailed Hash twice now and had no reply . I'm in England and currently have no way of getting support.I'd be really grateful if someone could help. Cheers Marc

Is there a technical school, junior college or online course that teaches a recent version of A:M in the North Texas area? If there is no usergroup or other organized instruction in A:M here in North Texas, is there anyone familar with the current version of A:M who would be willing to tutor my 8th grader in the basics. Hopefully three or four one hour lessons will "prime the pump" enough such that he will be equipped and motivated to learn much more on his own. BTW, he's bright; taking AP courses for half his schedule. Even so I get the impression A:M (3D animnation generally) is a challenge even for most motivated ... Thank you in advance for you help! M…

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…

Hi Hashers, The mid-Atlantic animation master user group meeting went very well today. In attendance was Don Davis, Rich Jackson, Vern, John.R and our newest latest greatest member Eric.C. We had a great time including showing off some rendering and animation stuff we've all been working on. Rich showed us some great stuff he's been working on including his TWO work and also some dark skull production work. The Sentinel for the TecNu project that falls under the dark skull production umbrella is coming along and just about ready for some proxy test animations. Rich and I also posted some information's and a video in the showcase area of the forum. We've got…

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…

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…

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!

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…

Hello Philadelphia and New Jersey animation master users. It has been a while since the mid Atlantic animation master user group has gotten together and with the holiday season coming up I thought it would be a great time to post a request for a MAAM meeting. I would like to offer my home in West Chester Pennsylvania for the next meeting place. I have a date in December of Saturday, December 2 that the House can be used for a MAAM meeting. Please let me know if there is any interest in this so I can get a little more information out there and if we decide that the state is good for an animation master meeting I will post directions and other information.

Hey Everybody, Are any of you guys up for getting together the first or second Saturday in August (that would be the 5th or 12th). If so I'd like to host another AM Summer BBQ Bash. Let know what date works the best and we can work it out from there. I hear those DarkSkull guys have been doing some great work, can't wait to see it.

Hi all of you Mid Atlantic Animation Master users out there. I wanted to post to potential dates for a summer meeting for the mid Atlantic animation master users group [ MAAM ] and also offer my house/deck for the meeting. The dates I currently have available are Saturday June 23, 2007 or Saturday, June 30, 2007. Saturday, June 23 happens to be the weekend right after the wizard world comic book convention so June 23 may be a good weekend to get together to go over animation master work, tutorials and some new and exciting things from dark skull productions. Since this will be a beginning of the summer user group party I will be firing up the grill and coo…

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???

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…

Hello - This is my first post on the forum. I am a 2d animater new to A:M (since 12/04) and have been utilizing the vast resources available on the web and in book form to successfully create my first completed model (a cartoonish camel). I am looking for any other A:M users in Nashville, TN that might be able and willing to meet with me to help me get a firmer grasp of this wonderful software. Users of any level would be helpful, but I would really like to meet with an advanced user who could walk me through specific modeling, rigging, and animation issues that arise. I would even be willing to pay for tutoring sessions. Thanks.

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!

We had the first NY Hash A:M User Group Meeting today. I think it was quite a success. This is in a large part due to Mike's great hosting at his place. Mike had a nice spacious living room with snacks and drinks for all. We all discussed a little about ourselves and what we do with A:M. We talked about our shared love of A:M and what we thought about the future of the software and stuff like that. The smokers enjoyed smoke breaks in the big hallway and had some nice discussion. We then went to Mike's cool little projection room and watched some 3d shorts. We also viewed some awesome work by some of the guys. I forgot to bring up my little humble movies I have …
