Is it possible to start and finish a sprite at any particular point in time. For example, if I was doing a shot that was 15 seconds long, could I have the particle start at let's say 10 seconds and end at 13 seconds? Can this be down with lights like lens flares as well?

I have these older videos if anyone is interested. Not sure how relevant they are nowadays, but someone may have a use for them. If so, let me know and we'll figure something out. Just throw me a fair price, and we can go from there. Sorry if this is not allowed in here, just don't approve if not, just seemed like the most logical place though. Wish I had the time to play with A:M like I used to....

Howdy all, been looking all over for answers here: AM keeps locking up (after working seemlessly for 6 months) and goes into an ultra, ultra slow motion mode (one click in any direction or 1 degree of zoom takes like 15 - 30 seconds) I watch the CPU use and it zooms to 100 % with any little command, so somethings wrong Make a long story short, I un-installed, re-installed twice now. I try to open the program and i instantly get a "missing KSPI32.DLL" pop up (with the big Windows "doink" sound) I've seen a couple posts about install / reinstall about using the "regedit" function -- I have no clue what that is. And I'm a little …

We've had several discussion of video sharing lately so I want to make sure everyone is aware of this resource as well. Jing works with PCs and Macs and provides some storage space for you to share. If anyone is able and willing to test out the possibilities of Jing I'm interested. For those that need more service options/smaller file sizes than the basic Jing service provides Jing Pro is just under $15 a year. http://www.jingproject.com/features/default.asp Techsmith also has a 30 day trial of their Camtasia software. If you need to capture video plan ahead and use every bit of that trial period. Its a bit expensive for the hobbyist but I used t…

Hi, Could someone post key links about libraries all in one place? I now have several models and materials, and I would like to add shortcuts with pictures, (I think Rodney posted some icons for materials on the extras CD, or maybe the 2005 CD--not all materials come up....? I saw a screenshot I think, but can't find it now....) know how to edit .lbr files if I need to (and know why I would) and how to restore them if I mess up. add some of the stuff from the extras CD. I was able to re-link the main Hash CD library in v.12 (Mac), but as I have the space, I'd like to add some things from the extras CD and get it all organized. I'm sure there ar…

Hi hashers, Modelling takes skill, I understand, you'd like to get a complete hold of it? And modelling is an art. I think, you'll agree that art begins with a pencil and paper. I'm trying to understand the need for an online art and modelling school. Where, you'll learn figure and environment drawing one to one from an artist. It can be a bootcamp for you to be more comfortable in visualising your characters and animations. And you can start regardless of your background in art. Also, from here would you like to go on learning modelling in depth using A:M one to one from a mentor? Would you like to join such a online school if available? Satyajit

How to use the Snapshot feature to create precisely aligned decal stamps. https://youtu.be/TKm0_7HuqMs In the video I forgot to mention that if you want more resolution for your decal than the original Snapshot provides, resize it in your paint program before you do any painting. The higher-res decals you create will still drop into A:M with correct alignment.

I haven't tried to run Animation Master for probably five years. In that time I've changed Macs several times. Today I tried to install it using the Classic environment. No luck; or I should say I thought I was successful at first, only to find out that A:M couldn't see the original disc through Classic when I went to run it. I have Virtual PC 7.0.2 with Windows XP and tried to install it there. This time the app told me I had to upgrade Win NT with drivers for D3D. Only problem was, I was beyond NT (why doesn't A:M know this? Is the OS version hard coded?) and DO have D3D drivers. As it happens, I've been using Virtual PC since version 3, when it was a Connecti…

Hi - I keep seeing references to Holmes's wonderful tuts but I can't find them. I found a couple of links but they go in circles. If Holmes is reading this, or anyone else who knows, please send me links to your/his tutorials, particularly those on rigging. On the subject, I'm making a hand rig and would appreciate any tuts or how tos for basic and advanced hand constraints. Thanks Much, Doug

Nowadays the A:M Forum is really the community's FAQ but long long ago in much more ancient times their lived the A:M FAQ. Some of the information is still as valid as ever while others have been outdated for quite a while. Still its a treat to read through and revisit the glory days of yesteryear. The names alone are worth the read. ...and the best is yet to come! For those that haven't seen it and those that haven't visited in awhile: The Animation:Master FAQs

I dug out my DVDs from SIGGRAPH 2003 and 2004 today, and the movies no longer play. I went to Techsmith's Camtasia site and downloaded and installed the latest QuickTime component for the Ensharpen Codec (1.2) for my Intel Mac, but no luck. I've done the restart, repair permissions, etc. to no avail. Has someone posted a solution to this in this forum in the past, perhaps? (QuickTime 7 Pro, Intel Mac).

While you have the Tools>Customize Window open, not only can you drag individual buttons from the window to toolbars, but you can move the existing buttons around too (or remove them). Tool bars are also undockable (>Allow Docking). When they are free floating you can re-size them to shapes other than a single row. It's a bit like doing one of those sliding tile puzzles, but I made this "Views" tool panel that mimics the arrangement of the keyboard number pad. I added the subdivision up and down buttons and the Turn button to fill out extra spaces. One note... in V15f the "Views" buttons are missing from the Customize window, but if you turn…

I have no problem playing the sound in Choreography or Action modes. But, most of the time, I can't get sound to play in my .avi or .mov file after I render animation from the choreography mode. I never have this problem if I created the sound in the Action mode and render. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?
