I think this is sufficiently different to warrant a new thread: [1] I'm installing a single bone that will move the same [left and right] plate on both treads. On a previous attempt, I installed the bone in the right hand tread plate, on the Z-axis. Some of the plates developed a twitch wherein the bone rotated 180 deg. and the left plate flopped over to the far right of the right plate. I suspect it was because of the oblique angle the bone occupied at the points where the plates moved over the major drive wheels at the front and back. [tho' I'm not certain] This time, I'm installing the bone along the X-axis. The question is: at the points where the plate move…

Hi This is one of the first projects I did in 2000 with animation master. I am trying to get a reel together for my website and thought it would make a good intro. I did a new render of it with ao. You can see here the improvement in me and a:m over the years. I atached the old and new one. 3dfroglogoold.mov 3dfroglogonew.mov

Hello Hashers, Since I thought it would be a good idea to at least get semi-reaquainted with A:M during the night, I decided to create something I'd seen on TV. So what better then a simple character like Elemental Hero Clayman, from some TV show I can't remember the name of on CN. I didn't exactly recreate the character, but seeing as I had nothing but a free hand to go by, I'm averagely pleased with the result. Now, I have no, and I mean none whatsoever, competance within the field of rigging. I tried one, failed, tried again, failed, tried a thrid time while reading the tutorial word by word... I guess it's not in my blood, not that modeling seems to be eithe…

Hi, This is a video I made for my church. It features my pastor, Brian, and his secretary and some standard models from the A:M CD. It was supposed to be shown during a service about overcoming fear. However, when we previewed it on the big screen in the church, there was a very little girl in the audience who ran out screaming when she saw the knight running...so it did not get shown that day. Hopefully it'll appear at another time. Not the greatest synching in the world, I know, animation wise, but I sort of like it... I also have it out on YouTube at: if you prefer to watch it there.ScaryDream.mov

The correct texture pattern on the cube is only on the front side. How can I change the orientation of this? This is probably so simple I'm just overlooking it. It seems that when I place this pattern on a model, it only applies it from the front. Obviously I want to make a floor with this, but when I drop this simbiont on a floor, it gives me the elongated pattern seen on the top of the cube. Answer: Open the material's properties and click on Transform. There you would type in a value of 90 in the X rotate value, which will give you a top down orientation to this particular material.

door_jam2.mov Fairly early version of Ted opening the door (the model has changed a bit as well since this). For the moment he doesn't get much further than the doorknob...but the main timing and action so far seem pretty decent.

Hi all In my webcomic I've been doing an annual christmas story. This time I gave the protagonist's a slightly different manner of getting to the North-pole as seen here: Anyway I rather liked this concept and thought the magic snow bus came dangerously stealing the show for a while. Therefore since I felt I could probably use it for other projects I decided to take a crack at it. Obviously this has a way to go. I was a little premature putting in the wheels on but I wanted to get the idea across for these images. On the top of my list for what to do next is to work out the mechanics of the wheels and figure out how to do the windows and shingles. Anyway …

As I was programming the new A:M Action export function for Zign Track, I needed to do a good test myself. I choose a song from one of the best Dutch bands and play backed it. OK, it turned out I'm not very good at this because I forgot my lines a few times, for the rest it was pretty good. I exported the Action with only poses for the facial expressions. I have used Squetchy Sam for this example. I added a some poses to Sam so it matched the poses in Zign Track and applied the action. I needed one little tweak on the lower lip so the mouth closed better, that is because of the neutral frame I selected in the video. Besides that I haven't done any tweaking at all, and i…

Everyone has seen Star Wars Episode VI Return of the Jedi right? Well you know the Imperial Biker Scout- the Imperial dudes that ride the speeder bikes. I have modeled everything except the helmet- I've tried to model it for the past 2 to 3 weeks and it never looks right. Could anyone model one up for me for Animation Master 11.1 (A:M 2005) please? This would be a great help. The animation I am doing will require the Biker Scout, so if anyone would offer any help I would greatly appreciate it!

Until last year, the greatest sorrow of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn’t have any children. To make up for this in a small way, we always invited all the children on our street to our house each Christmas morning for breakfast. wow power leveling, We would decorate the house with snowflakes and angels in the windows, a nativity scene and a Christmas tree in the living room, and other ornaments that we hoped would appeal to the children. When our young guests arrived—there were usually ten or fifteen of them—we said grace and served them such delicacies as orange juice garnished with a candy cane. And after the meal we gave each of the youngsters a wrappe…

A little tricky to model, still have a few subtle wrinkles to take out. Had to manually flip a mirror and stitch it because the flip copy attach got stupid on me and would make a birds nest. If I get a chance to clean it up a bit more it will be in the exchange.

So, I'm jumping in and starting modeling on a short for submission in a film festival Film Festival Topic Discussion. The movie will be a Christmas Story of sorts. The main character is Old Man Willies. I started on his head..made one goof after another, then decided to use Sire Nigel as a starting point. After beheading Nigel, I then started to push and pull control points to get the look I was looking for. Here he is: crits please.

As most of you know, my colleague and I have been working very diligently on ELZ, and despite my breakdown of sorts due to massive discouragements, I am back in the game and for the most part better then ever. The following vid is where we are at today with the opening of ELZ. Now do note, the dedication at the beginning is someone my colleague knows, and I had a lengthy discussion making sure he understood what it meant! Also, the girl is not dead if you are thinking that, because I did. Also, the flaming meteor shot is just filler and thus it is in low quality and not complete. It will be replaced by one or more different shots that don't take as long to render! B…

I mentioned this some time ago in the Star Trek Red Squad thread and delayed opening a new thread up for it until now. So here's the lowdown. With Red Squad, it obviously has it's main and secondary characters with dialogue. The thing is, where this takes place on starships, these guys aren't the only crew members on the ships. So what I'm hoping/asking for, is if anyone has any decently "semi-realistic" heads that they're willing to donate to simply be background crew members who mill about, use computers etc. They could be guy or girl, though I don't have any female bodies built, so you may have to supply that as well, but if all you have is the head, I'll take tha…

Hello, Since I'm diving into movie creation, I realize there's a process involved, beginning even before any 3D work is done. Concepting, etc. This is an area where I'm a bit unsure how to start. I have stories in my head, but if I was to get them out in the scattershot way I tend to imagine them (thinking of different scenes at random, etc), no one would have any idea what's going on. It would be like Pulp Fiction edited by someone on hallucinogenics. I also have this tendency to constantly second-guess myself and doubt if I'm doing something correctly. I end up getting hung up worrying about it, and all my enthusiasm deflates. I think if I had a fairly solid idea of…

For a discussion on the trombone forum about how to have a convenient practice trombone small enough to play inside a car. I propose to chop the slide to have only 4 (rather than 7) positions and fold the unused portion back up the slide, so that the total length of the horn (and pitch) remain the same.
