For instance: If I name a circle as pathA, a bowl (rivit) object as object to extrude onto pathA, can I control the orientation of the bowl/rivit object? I want the flat ends of the copied bowls/rivits to lie on the same plane as the pathA circle. See pic. Hope this description makes sense. Also, is there an exact way to orient the view perpendicular to a plane that is not aligned to the x/y/z planes? I've been doing it by trial and error, but I need more precision.

Enjoy. I will be doing a more systematic approach to ambient occlusion in finding out what are some of the better speed vs quality combinations. Thanks EOS for submitting his entry for the Hash CD I also posted a side by side comparison in the Radiosity forum. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&sh...ndpost&p=157606

This was going to be an entry for the Heroes contest in Jan. but I won't have time to model the ninja turtles before then. This was the first time I've used IBL in A:M, and the first time I've used AO at all.

Hey guys...I'm revisiting my animation guy. I'm now adding a mouth and am going to add eyes with pupils. I'm trying to go for the "lowman model" look.

I am working on a project and decided to create an object in Version 13 beta one. I have created a face and began to work on the mouth portion of the character. I tried to extrude the inner lip and then scale. The extrusion will only scale on one of the axis. If I create a extrsuion outside the character's face the extrusion and scaling will work correctly. Also, after I copy/flipped/attached the face, the mirror mode works only some of the time. I have sent a report on both but wanted to know if anyone had run into this or do I have a setting wrong after installing beta one Steve

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.

Fog is great, but is a bit limited in it's options. What's the best way to fade a background from light to dark, but in a nonlinear fashion? I'm thinking maybe a rotoscope over the camera? A gradient material applied to a screen in the background? I tried both but haven't had real great results. See the pic for an example of what I would like to achieve. Edit: I basically made an alpha map in the shape of the pic and added it as a rotoscop to the camera. Looks promising. There are two options that I'm not sure about - "On Top" and "Include in Alpha Buffer". What do these options do?

This is a continuation of a thread from the v11.1 forum because for some reason I was unable to upload a file from there. So this is a really simple animation, 80 frames, 240 x 240, of a tumbling die. However, rendering got progressively buggier as I went, for reasons I've detailed on the thread at http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16586 I'm uploading version 2 of the project. If anyone wants to poke around it I would be much obliged. Okay, uploading doesn't seem to be working here either.

Here are a couple of tests for the rigging on my pocket Bataille cutout guy-thing. I had been struggling to get a little bend in the paper cutout of his body and failed--the tape "holding" the wire to the paper kept slipping. In one experiment I had a bit of success by having one bone connected to the cps I wanted moved, but having another bone--an FK parent of the cp bone--do the motion. But, upon trying that I realized that the paper needs to be pretty rigid anyway, and that its motion would be better conveyed through y-axis rotation than actual folding/bending. These are rough, just tests. Oh, and for the record, in the first one that is sort of a salute into …

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…

My path seems to have no problems, but my sweep object is causing me fits. I remember there are some objects that sweeper does not like, but I cannot remember what exactly causes sweeper to crash AM? A simple four point patch sweeps fine, but an extruded box is crashing AM every time. I need to use sweeper to dublicate a simple box around an irregular path but so far I only get crashes, even when I delete the box and make a new one, it still crashes. Edit: Well, I narrowed the #001 exception down to the option of using regular steps. When I don't use regular steps, it duplicates fine along the path, otherwise it crashes the program. Is this a bug I should repor…

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.
