For those who love dot hack. I ask you for your arms and hands in dire need. I want to try and make what Mohhammed started. It is my dream to put together a clip or film or something that has to do with .hack of some sorts, Why i am asking this is because i really want to start my own and i have the guide to .hack//G.U. Rebirth so i really dont need any 'pics' exactly. If you would like i could upload some pictures on request. Some Characters i would like made would be Haseo, tri-Edge, and Azure Balmung. And possibly Atoli. I will upload pictures of theis when people are interested. For now tho i need to just start on making a surver *For those who dont know, thats bascil…

Here are a couple of renders of my interpretation? of a black hole, (not exactly black), this is all for fun and to see just what I can come up with .I have also attached a zip file containing my sprite collection, 17 sprites total. I used various sprites, forces, glow and volumetrics to get what I have so far. It's not what I'm look for so, back to experimenting!.....

Will this is my first (somewhat) finished project. I teach 4th grade, and each year every class does a short, three minute, video about Christmas from a different country. Many of the teachers just tape something quickly to be done with it. I always turn it into a production, and produce a more edited product. So with that, this year I created a "Bug" to introduce our production. We always call the move from my room: "112 production".....because my room number is 112. So this 30 second video is about 60 hours: modeling, rigging, animation, rendering, and editing the final. It may not seem like much, but I learned a lot from doing this. Any feedback woul…

Just a little something I was busy on this weekend, thought I could get some comments. I modeled a Starship Enterprise and it was my goal to get it as detailed as possible. It's still in the works. (I have to add an animated door, some decals and some lights.) Without further adeu, the Big-E! I also decided to do a drastic re-design of the Galileo. It' was inspired by an Enterprise-E shuttle. Please give me some feedback!

Hello everyone. I am starting to get into the more complex aspects of A:M, but I'm still back here in version 12 and all my books are back west, 2,088 miles away. If anyone can help me with how you'd do this, roughly, that'd be great. I was playing with mist and steam volumetrics but nothing seemed to be doing what I want. Here is what I'm after. It's a dark, misty morning with the sun rising over the mountains. As the sun rises, so does a ground mist. It starts whispy and turbulant and soon it obscures the scene and then blows away. This will reveal my logo and will be used on videos and presentations that I do. Thanks in advance. -W

I dug up an old friend of mine, the stupid robot I made a few years ago. I've been tinkering with SynthEyes the last couple of days. Basically I recorded a video of my desk with my mobile phone and imported it into SynthEyes, did the tracking and adjustments then exported it to A:M. I see there is some jittering on the tracking, but overall I'm satisfied. The animation is just an old and crappy action I made long time ago. Let me know what you think johnny6.mov Here is an small screen capture:

Some hints from the experts here please! I need to achieve a look similar to this picture. What would be the best way to come near. Painted textures? special shaders ( I heard I would need fresnellshader for this??) ? What kind of lighting? Post production? Any advises how to start experimenting? Thank you Jake

Hi! I have a question. I want to use several actions in one choreo on one model. I have got two pathes. One for the character to walk into the scene, and one to walk out. I although have got a walkcycle with stridelength... Inbetween there are other actions to keep the real animation in. The walk in and the animation itself worked nicely. Now I want to let the character walk out of the scene... I gave the character a constraint to the path and now I want to make the walkcycle action active. But the action isnt available... It is there, I can click on the part where it should be and see the selection-frame, but I cant see the red bar which indicates …

Thought I'd try something today just for kicks. I had noticed in v14 that you can export OBJ files... I don't recall in previous versions of having a workable feature of this. So - I decided to test it out in getting some displacement and normal map textures for a model. I started with a basic 4 point patch and unwrapped it for texturing purposes - and so that when I export the model I'd have it already unwrapped for whatever program I use to sculpt the texture details in. Once I exported this patch I loaded it up in my sculpting app.. For this test I used Silo. I sculpted in a sort of - I guess you'd call it an eye and then exported the displacement map and No…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLdvxeGHOXA Hey! I just used A:M's SimCloth feature again in another TV spot and it didn't let me down. I needed to show a Christmas present UNwrapping, so first I did the bow unwrap in an action using muscle-mode animation to sort of 'undraw' itself. Once it was gone the ribbons wrapping around the present were free to fall- and SimCloth did the trick with very little futzing. All this to sell furniture... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLdvxeGHOXA

Hello all, I have been a little slow in getting this post out. I have been REALLY busy. Many of you do not know me. I am not really very good at AM! I grew up on Lightwave but have always been amazed at the power and capabilities of AM since version 3, my first version. I saw it at SIGGRAPH but when I got home with it and tried to use it, I wanted to kill everyone! Needless to say documentation has been lacking for a while now! Anyway, I tried again at version 5. Same results.. so I continued doing my work in Lightwave and Maya. Then I got a wild hair and decided to try it again... version 11! Last year I produced and animated a direct to DVD project for Hasbro Ent…

Hey guys was needing some C&C on this first segment of the new proj I'm working on. Just want to focus on the bum action for now. walk_in_the_park.mov Here what I'm seeing: The walk looks a bit mechanical; I was thinking about maybe adding in Squash and stretch but was afraid it would take away from the "stamper scuffle" I was going for. and the "plop" down to sitting overshoot seems kind off too. thanks ahead of time guys

This came to me on Wednesday, I 'boarded it on Thursday, modeled it on Friday, animated Saturday, and finished it tonight. (All in between full-time work and college.) I intend to include it as part o' my Halloween card to fiends and family via e-mail. (Hooray for Hash!) Have I mentioned I adore this software? This is just for fun, really, but I am really very proud of the effect of the monochromatic colour scheme. I do so love the "look" of this spot... Enjoy! Skullford_Small.mov
