Hello friends: Just wanted to post my contest entry and a wireframe of the scene. I've worked on it a little bit more, but the basics are unchanged. I really wanted to keep the modeling to a minimum and concentrate more on the mood and lighting. AM v.15 has been very stable when it came to putting all these lights in a scene. Most of the lights have lens flares turned on to get the effect I was after. I also used smoke particles, although the background is comprised of two camera rotoscopes, one with stars and moon, and the other one with the majority of the background smoke. Feel free to leave any comments or questions. -E

Not sure where the old thread is in the archives, if it's there at all. This is a render in V15 of an older project where I was trying to animate this tree growing from a sprout to a full grown tree. This is the full grown tree. This tree is actually a large set of smaller "branch" models assembled in the choreography. If I could assemble them as a single composite model it would be preferred, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I wish I could iteratively build the whole tree from a small number of tweakable branch models. Any ideas? Here is an early test animation with a scaled down version: Tree growth animation test. And a closeup: T…

This is a animation for my students, I teach 4th grade. We learn about transportation in social studies (Michigan Studies) so I created an animation to show how railroad tracks go together. I'm hoping to add more detail and more content to different animations as time goes on. This was my main reason buying AM, when I saw the program at a technology conference, I wanted to use it to help teach my students. I have to add sound and a voice over. This animation is a little rough, because I slowed some parts down in iMovie after I saw how fast some parts were. Let me know what you think. Andy track_animation.mov

I had to leave on a business trip this past Friday and just came back. When I left, AM was running perfectly on my desktop. Upon turning my desktop on just now, I was very surprised to find that my WIP chor, which had no issues last Friday, now looks like all lights are down to about 10%, almost black. Naturally the values in the PWS have not changed, but the chor is almost black nonetheless. Thinking this might be a corrupt project file, I loaded a completely different project from a few weeks ago. The chor in that project also had the same problem, almost black. I opened one more old project and found the same. Since all chors were affected, I knew it had to be s…

Hello - 2-3 weeks back I posted a pic I had a caricature artist draw at Universal Studios http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33132 because I wanted to see how well it would work as a rotoscope for a character... using it worked out pretty good. This isn't really a "work in progress" but I would love some crits. I have created one other "human" as one of my early models and she didn't come out real great - her lip movement for talking was way off too, so I kind of set her way back in the animation, so you couldn't really tell - I need more "human" modeling practice which seems to be the hardest for me, so this is the new version of her. The lip syn…

Hi there, it's been a while since I been on here, anyways, I need some help. I am trying to make a movie (non-profit) and I need some models built. Naturally, I would build them myself, but because it's supposed to look good, I won't do it, as my models are crap! Anyways, here are some reference pics, but I wouldn't use them as rotoscopes as they're not to scale or anything like that. Anyways, I would really appreciate somebody building me things. There will be other ships that need to be built, but they haven't been designed yet. It would be nice to have this look as professional as possible, so that means textures, details etc. There are no set dimen…

Just an animating exercise with some of the Hash resources. All done in a chor. action, and not finished yet although, any crits. welcome. I'm still trying to get a handle on this key-framing business. Barry Zundels CD was very inspirational for me and helped break the ice with animating in A:M. Showing His method of positioning the character at key positions first, using just the model bone, and then filling in the motion "in between" using the bones later, made it a lot easier. magic7.mov

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…

Here is my attempt at a landspeeder. I had a really difficult time modeling. I still was not able to make it w/o creasing. I did not (and still do not) know how to make the cockpit area without having major creases. For this model it is fine because it is only going to be seen at a distance and for only a short time. I am still learning how to model without creases...I guess it comes with practice....And the usual any comments would be welcome on the model. :-)

Hello Everyone, I've been working on a model of a small boy as you can see Here And I came up with a little story to put with him. I hope you like it. Crits are very welcome. Sequence 1 A middle aged man, slightly balding incessantly snores in his lazy boy recliner. In the corner a TV flashes illuminating the entire room. Then from behind the dad, a young sly boy cracks open the door just enough to show his face. A smirk appears on the boy's face when he sees that his dad is fast asleep. The boy slowly creeps along then pauses at his dad's recliner. He hesitantly taps his dad on the shoulder, and to his surprise the man makes an abrupt snore cau…

What is the best way to approach the decaling of a coiled rope? Up to this point I have only needed to decal rope a couple of time and then only one length at a time. Now that I am modeling the Spanish Galleon: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32733&hl= , I have a ton of rope to decal. I used to take the rope model, create a pose, and then straighten the rope in the pose to apply the cylindrical rope decal. This works great for one or two pieces of rope, but now I have so many pieces and coiled rope to boot. I wonder if you could decal a staright piece of rope first and then coil it? Maybe in an action or something?

I haven't posted in a long while, ever since I returned to college to get my Masters (done) and Doctorate in Music Composition. Also I haven't animated in a couple years, but this summer I got the A:M subscription and decided to make a five-movement work for animation and electronic music. I thought I would post the YouTube links here so you all could check it out. I learned a lot I didn't know about A:M in the process, and actually had to rerender an entire movement after finding a better way to do something. Anyway, without further adieu, here they are: I "Purple": II "Industry": III "Red": IV "Interlude": V "Blue":

However, the second action pops back to the starting point of where the first action started and what I want to happen is, have the second action start from where the first action ended. Question: What do I have to do in the chor, to have the second action start from where the first action ended. I hope this is quit…

Thank you to all who voted for my image. I'm happy for the win with such stiff competition. This one was a lot of fun to make and was actually based on an old abandoned market I had seen in the Arizona desert. Below you can see the pic of the original mart and a wireframe of my model. Crits, comments, and questions are always welcome.
