For those , whos interestet . I have rebuild the entrypage for my plugins http://www.sgross.com/plugins/ . I hope these is now clearer, as the old one . For a short description ,for what a plugin is thought, stay with cursor a little bit over the pluginname . I have also added some crosscompiled plugins for OSX10.4 (for A:M V12 and V13) The last updatet date is not important yet , because I have all plugins only recompiled .

Hi, I just want to know if anyone has been able to animate a character modeled in Modo. Do I have to model everything AM? What are the Pros and Cons of doing otherwise? Thanks, Ernesto

I have released today a new version from the NewtonPhysics plugin for A:M . Some words before . - the new version works only with V12.0p and higher - Sorry for the mac guys, at this time a mac version is not avaible, because there is no V12 SDK avaible for the mac . I have sent the source to Hash , hopefully they can compile them .... - there are two known problems, but I would not longer wait with releasing this version (and workarounds are available), read the known problem section attentively What's new - breakable joints between pieces of a model - fixed and breakable joints between dynamic and static objects (and Nullobjects) - A:M forces now c…

I've attached a render of a model that the wonderfully talented William Sutton recently completed for a little adult only A:M project I'm working on... This little lady needs a big muscular male co-star for her upcoming films. If you have the talent and interest in this type of work, please email me (karl.miller8@verizon.net) a link to samples of your work and I'll respond with complete specs for the model and a request for quote. If I like your quote, I'll provide you with a contract and 3 references of A:M artists I have worked with so far. Thanks for your consideration, Karl Miller Star Pyramid Productions Times Extreme, Inc.

The Model to resemble the UV map, you can edit and re-stamp without going into UV edit because the model is the UV. Sculpting the geometry in "Action" and edit in "Object" Export to OBJ, weld & fine tune in polygon and painting in Zbrush. Introducing my solution to texture AM model in Zbrush, modeling took place in "Action" while the actual geometry look like the UV mesh, I get the best of both worlds. Download this example prj at: http://www.3d-assets.info/images/hash%20prj/index.htm Model is folded togather from separate parts and additional spline were used as alternative to bias handle, stay tune for more to come.

There use to be a light plug-in that I can't remember the name of it. I've tried doing searches for animation master light plug-ins but still can't find it. All I can remember is that the website that offered it, there was a rabbit model and a few shapes in the background of the image that showed the results of the plug-in. If anyone knows of it and it's still around, could you post a link? Thanks and i know it's been awhile since I've been here and I know of the other skylight rigs but was just wanting to test this one.

I want to take a picture, a jpeg that is red and white, that has some black for outlines, and put it into AI. That part I can do, the problem that I have is that when i put it into A:M, it just comes out as a big block. What I need help with is within AI, how would I take the white parts of the picture, and lets say cut them out, so when I put it into A:M the red parts of the picture is the model, but the white parts are wholes. If I am confusing you, think of the Font Wizard and AI Tech Talk. The logo that gets imported into A:M has stars on it that go all the way through the model. That is what I want to happen with the white part of the picture I am tr…

Hello fellow Hashers, I have made a model in Animation Master that I want to have made into a real life version. It is a reconstruction of an ancient sundial that I want to have made for educators to teach with. I have approached a number of companies and have found one near where I live that I would like to work with. Unfortunately they don't support AM files or 3DS. They specifically want IGES or SolidWorks. I am running AM version 11.1h on a PowerMac 1Ghz Dual Processor G4 in OS 10.3.9. The only format AM seems to export to on a Mac is 3DS. But when I checkout the file in a program like Wings3d it seems that this format has problems with 5 point patches and ho…

I've been getting into photography pretty heavily these days, and ran across mention of a little FREE app called Autostitch. The killer thing is that it has some definite potential applications for 3D work as well. Here's the super-short summary: Autostitch will take any number of source images and automatically blend them together into a single seamless panorama image. Want super-easy reflection maps? Just render a bunch of overlapping shots from the same camera position, throw them into Autostitch, and BOOM! The same thing can give you an easy way to take your 3D scene and create panorama images for use with QuicktimeVR. Even if it's not a full 360-degree…

Eggprops is now offering Video Tutorials. Yay! There are currently three available. Rigging, Joint Constraints and Geometry conversion between A:M and L<cough>wave. We won't talk about that last one. BUT! The Joint Constraints video is quite cool. It walks you through how to use bones and constraints to rig things like knees, the webbing between fingers and even a woman's breast! I have made a video only quicktime preview for it <here> The Rigging tutorial is also very helpful. It shows you the basics of the 2001 or "Eggington" rig. AND!!! to help start things off. . . we are going to offer a special promotion. …

I like a lot of people on the forum, have a render farm. There are times where it sits idle. Is there an interest in people on the forum to contract/rent/barter for rendering services? Seems to me (reminds me of an old James Gang Song), there was some discusion about this a couple of years ago, and it didn't go anywhere. For those of you that don't know, a render farm greatly decreases your render time as the farm distributes your frames across the slaves and deposits them in a central location. The files are rendered out as .tga frames only (till V12 comes online), all audio work has to be done seperately. All files could be transfered back and fort…

Hey guys. I am pretty new to Animation Master. I've had it for years, but rarely used it until now. I was looking at tutorials for Patching...but I do not get how to do it, and have tried many things on my own. Could anyone help me? My goal is to make Shoulders patch with Torsos to give a smooth look instead of two shapes put together, so that when it bends, it shows a whole edge of, lets say, a cylindrical object. Its hard for me to explain. I basically just want smoothness in joints and the ability to round corners. I don't get ANY of the patching systems available in AM. By the way, I am using Animation Master 2002. Thanks.

Finishing a walk cycle (i.e. mirroring the left half to the right half) is tedious--there's a ton of copy bones/shift timeline/paste mirrored work involved, and that's assuming everything goes well. If you're unlucky enough that you need to tweak an existing walk cycle, you aren't going to want to use the "key skeletal" filter for fear of overriding existing keyframes, which means you're going to be spending a long time copying and pasting individual bones so you don't mess up the rest of the cycle. But there's no reason this process can't be automated! All the necessary information is right there in the action file--all it should take would be a simple script. …

Someone asked me if I know of a free program that would convert TGA to JPG so they can print it. Well I found one and it works very well for the PC. Its called FastStone Image Viewer. It makes converting and printing a snap. During its install only select the file formats that do not normally come up in windows as its defaults such as TGA files. Now from AM you will be able to right click on the image and select Launch in Associated Applications and it will put up a full screen image. Right Click to bring up a menu to save-as or print. After your done right click to get the menu and close. Its not perfect but its free and you never have to leave AM just to print a qu…

Posted this in response to someone needing to build movies from individual images. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, I put up the files for the app that builds quicktime movies. It's in a trial period.... about a month then it expires. The reason? Cause I plan on fixing the app up and I don't want buggy copies floating around. HOW TO USE - 1. have folder of sequentially numbered files(jpg, pic or tga) format of "0.tga, 1.tga etc works best) 2.if you change the default name of "movie", then rename it with ".mov" extension. you can get it at either www.3dartz.com or www.vrcops…

Hey guys, in the updating of my site, I'm going to try and put up things that I think people might find useful. I had included on my Joint CD an app I wrote called "CamCalculator". Basically it calculates the x and y pixel values needed for rendering for print media. Is this revolutionary - nope. You can use photoshop to do the same thing... but maybe some people don't have photoshop? Anyhows, you can find it at my site under "FreeStuff". thanks Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com www.vrcops.com

Hi All, I have recently purchased the SkyCast plugin and I have been experimenting with it. Overall it seems to add a lot to my Renders...however, I don't seem to be getting the same kind of quality that others have been producing. I would like to know if anyone has any guidelines or suggestions on how to setup the lighting just right. Also, I tried the SkyCast on an indoor scene (baically made a hole in a wall and wanted to see what would happen. Apparently, the SkyCast light goes right through the walls? Not sure why. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Eugene

This is the printed version of the A:M Technical Reference that is available online. I have edited it and formatted it to get it into book form. It is print-on-demand through cafepress. When you order a book, they print it, bind it, and ship it to you. It is black and white, 226 pages, $23.98 You can get it here: http://www.cafeshops.com/zandoria.9928938 I am planning on doing a new one for V12 later this spring. If you are using the current version of A:M (11.1) then the first chapter on INTERFACE is obsolete, so just ignore it. There is documentation of dynamic constraints properties on the online version that was unavailable when this version was published-…
