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.

Any one know of any tutorials for or if there are any problems with some of the plugins out there? I struck out twice here recently when i tried to add some plugins. The first was the Darktree materials symbiot plugin ( couldn't even figure out what to do with that) but i think that one was because i have a Mac. The other was the cellfx.trb from yves possiant. I put it in the turb folder but when AM started up it said there was an error with the file. Anyone else have these problem or am i just completely inept

Is it just my Internet, or is Animation Pit Stop down? That site had some some awesome resource models for doing test animations and whatnot. If it's really down, I'm gonna be so sad. Does anybody know of any other good model resource websites? __________________________ nVidia Riva TNT/TNT2 Video Graphics Card (32 MB)

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. …

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.

I was wondering if there is a way to convert a 3D Studio Max file to a readable A:M file. I don't know if this is the right place to discuss this but there's a model I've been looking for forever and it's a .3ds file.

Anyone else out there own the darktree program? If so could you create a new darktree, in side the darktree program, using the external component and use an image map for color, bump and spec and then save it out and open in AM v13. I get black X's on my mesh. This worked in v12 for the most part except during some renders I would get little back squares in my renders. I have contacted Darktree about this and submitted a report here. Just want to know if anyone else can confirm it. I have a material that I created back in v10 that has always worked and now in v13 its a no go. I even tried to recreate it from scratch in both programs. if we could get more ma…

https://youtu.be/j1SjlP8zc78 It's only for windows user and when release their target sale is $20 the Beta version is free. What I like about this is the sketching mode in 3D space to plan out your shape beforehand of whatever you want to make.

https://youtu.be/QA6wkcc_cNY Now that AM has retopology feature, one of thing I often do is take a created 3D sculpt object in a 3D program and then retopologize it for quad mesh. I would suggest running it thru the free Quad converter tool to lighten your polygon count for Hash import or import it as prop to be retopologize.

http://neobarok.com/ Not yet fully develop, but has interesting tools to make spiral distortion along a irregular curve and also a paint program as well. I hope you don't get sick of free tools. I keep finding cool tools and yet always come back to Hash rigging!

3Dcoat has just upgrade to version 4.7 with improve retopology with weight painting for higher detail mesh for fingers and ears. The educational version is $79 and limited to 8 layers of texture. Even people with Zbrush find the UV map making is fast in 3Dcoat. The sale will go July22nd. Personally I cant afford Zbrush, but this would be my second choice. You can quickly sculpt a model and then retopologize a quad mesh low poly model then convert it to HASH and rig and animate them. That would be the workflow ideally! http://3dcoat.com/home/

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

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…

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…

Hi all, I don't know if this has been mentioned on the forums yet. I haven't seen anything about it, so thought I'd post about it myself. Just in case. I've been going through the Tutorial section of the forums, and found a number of helpful video tutorials in Flash format. Sadly, Flash has been discontinued, and isn't well supported anymore, making watching those tutorials difficult. However, I did find a handy, stand-alone tool, direct from Adobe, that allows you to open and view them still. Here's the link: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html The recommended download is the "content debugger" version. I don't know if it makes …
