Just some of the A:M projects that I have enjoyed working on over the past few years: (old link removed. See below for update). I hope to replace this with a properly planned showreel sometime soon.

Well, some of you may have wondered what the heck happened to my project Clone Commander. I've actually been slowly sworking on it and had the entire opening sequence, but I realized that if it took me that long to do that with the time I was putting into it, it would take quite awhile. So, I might make it into more of a series. I need suggestions. Series or film? Film would give me more room to work in, and series would probably let people see my work more often. I await your comments!

Here is a model I did a while ago and never got around to rendering it out. Thanks for who ever posted the keychain project, can't remember the name right now. It took 5 hours total for the model and about 657 patches. Comments welcome. Chad if anyone would like this model, let me know and I will get it packaged up in a zip for download.

So, has anyone figured out cloth yet? I have an animation to finish off for someone else and cloth is holding me up right now. I don't want to spend too much longer messing with it to hopefully discover the magic formula. I have made a simple test object with a cape and tested cloth sim in A:M versions 10.5, 11.0t and 11.1f. I still can't get collision detection to work. Any clues? This is pretty urgent! In the attached movie the top two tests are done in 10.5 and 11.0t. The bottom two are both in 11.1f. As you can see collision detection doesn't appear to be working. Does anyone have it working?

This topic is also posted here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=243770 Basicly, this technique is a way to have cloth deform a bulky object, just like it does with a button except using a bunch of bones instead of one. Since cloth is made up of a flat mesh, you can add objects to the surface via path constraint to the cloth's splines, to allow the objects to stay with the cloth... well! This is done with constraints/bones, so why couldn't you do it also with bones in an object like a rope or a backpack (Woot). :: You can create a cloth grid and set up as you would normal cloth on a character. Don't forget to make a deflector o…

Here's an experiment using sprites for the clouds on a path , but also manipulating the path to change the shape of the clouds. It rough and I lost the project, but I can duplicate it quick if anyone is interested. I set the emitter to 100% transparency, but as you can see there is a ufo (the emitter) flying around stirring up the clouds.

I am studying a BA in Digital Media. So far, so good. I've got through the first two years. Now, when I start my third and final year, one thing we have been warned of in advance is a Specialised Study project. We've got plenty of time to plan and I want to make the most of it. I have decided to make an interactive Macromedia Director based project, based on the well-known game of Cluedo. Influenced by Hasbro Interactive games, you get to solve the mystery by actually searching the rooms for clues, questioning the suspects and viewing flashbacks of previous events. I plan to make it a parody, calling it Crazy Cluedo and making it funny. The suspects have the mo…

Your basic small, glass, Coke bottle. I found that I could noticeably reduce render times by separating the bottle surface into two groups, external and internal. I applied the same material to both groups but I modified the internal material instance by turning off its reflections. Even with a two reflection bounce limit it still made a difference.

So far so good... (6-17-06) Spent the WHOLE day on this sucker, making changes and touching up with Displays and other controls. Also added color for more interest... [attachmentid=17554] (6-18-06) Added the Control Stick.... Ooops!, just noticed, forgot the trigger? Next update I guess... [attachmentid=17559] (6-19-06) Added the seat "cushion". Next is: parts of the seat "frame". I was almost in Fray because I wasnt sure how to make the seat look like it had "padding" due to the shape of the seat. But for the moment, it seems satisfactory for a seat? Also added the trigger. I still have to fill it with more unique controls/buttons/seatb…

[attachmentid=17879] This is an Updated Video(7-1-06) Used a Displacement Map for this terrain. Did the camera movements, then recorded to .mov; then used the .mov file as a layer. Simply dropped in the "Cockpit" model and positioned it to the camera and re-recorded the animation. NOTE 1: I had to use .wmv because of file size. I dont know if I can get away with posting a zip- file (.avi/.mov) of 1.9mb size? If I can, itll be posted on a NEW POST. NOTE 2: It says .avi when downloading, but its actually a .wmv? Just rename it, or it should be fine as is? Semi-calculated? It is doing what I expected …

I came up with simple idea in the example above I made a pose that controlled the scale of a bone not assigned any cp's I made a sine expression that scaled the y scale of the model over time but used the control bones scale value to control the effect of the expression The left model has the scaling expression effect turned down on the up cycle then set up for the down cycle The middle model has full effect of the expression for the whole cycle The last has about 30% of the expression effect for the whole c…

From- Dark Skull Productions including John Hubickey and Rich Jackson: Greetings all, An episodic space opera/ action adventure movie will be coming soon, called TekNu. The project should end up being around 20 episodes. So far, there is a web site with WIP videos, the story and episode descriptions, also the site includes details about the characters that will be seen. The web site is still under construction so some areas are not complete. We should be in a more complete state after the holidays. Late in January, work will continue and we might have the first episode by the end of the month. Here is the URL for the web site: DarkSkullProductions.com …

Hi all. After a considerable hiatus I dusted off my ongoing project of cheating on backgrounds on my webcomic Rhapsodies (Previous attempts can be seen here) This time I started working on one of the strip's principle sets/locations, Lysistrata Books a progressive bookstore owned by one of the cast members. After a rather frustrating false start of trying to alter one of the sets in the extra's dvd I went back in treating it like a television set with only two walls (after all we never see the others) Anyway so far this approach is going fairly well with only a few stumbling blocks. These being so far trying to find the correct recipe for plate glass (yes I know 30…

Meet AManda! Jirard had posted a model, and I saw great potential in it and built upon it... and thought it would be a great idea to use as a community building/learning project- see where it goes! I learned a lot by looking at Jirard's wonderful minimal splineage, and my model- if studied, will teach some of my tricks and 'bad habits'... Now, Jirard was going to take it and add teeth and... whatever from there. For now- it is just a female head. I added minimal bones and some poses. Feel free to DL this model or project and add to it... we'll figure-out a way to combine progress as we go. Show us YOUR tricks!
