Here is a screen capture of my decal when I hit recall position on the stamp under the decal heading. I've read posts that when I hit recall, the stamp is supposed to line up where I had stamped it. In this shot, they obviously don't line up, but when I render on the model, the decal is where it's supposed to be. Note: I did not create a pose when I applied the decal, I did everything in the eaction window per William Sutton. Second note: I did increase the image size in photoshop also as per William Sutton, although I don't know if that has any bearing. It also confuses me that when I increased the image size in photoshop and then imported the image into AM, on…

Hi, I'm working on a chor where light passes through a crate but I can't figure out why two lights that have the same properties, and I mean the same in everything, give such different results! Can anybody solve my clue? Thanx, Rago.

Since I was doing My racing Jets, I looked at some pictures of the Nevada Air races and I saw the birds doing hard turns around checkered pylons, I thought it would be cool to have the Jets screaming around a checkered blimp. In the nose and tail I did some things that I knew would give me puckering, like I saw in the images of real blimps. one Part that disappoints me is that you can hardly see the cool five bladed propeller that I put on the nacelles

Hi All, Attached is a project I started to see how far I could push Dynamics in AM. There are still some issues with it as can be seen in the attached vid. You really have to play with the settings and in some cases I found if I select Constraint (under Target) and try to change it to None, it does not always change....like it becomes stuck?? Also, when selecting "Attach to Parent" on or off in bones mode and after Dynamics is turned on...AM crashes Finally, odd things are being simulated, like Objects tend to gain energy after repeated collisions with another object. So far, it appears to work best for really simple stuff. Cheers, Euge…

I was thinking of modeling a calculator for awhile, but then I started. It has an insane 1492 patches. Originally, before spline reduction, it had well over 2000 patches. I sort of did a small preparation before hand for this by modeling my masterlator. I don't know what it should do, I just made it as preparation. I'm the creator, how should I know what it does? Anyway here's a pic of that: Note that the M is not a bump map. I actually took time to engrave that.

The right one is my first model and I would like it to look like the left one in it's details. I have never done anything like this, so any advice is really appreciated. Correct me if I am going in the wrong direction. Would I take my model apart as in flattening the hull? Once it is flattened, draw the plate lines on it in photoshop and then apply the tga as a decal color map and bump map? The model on the left was done by Fred Kuentz and William Babington. Since the hull is basically an octagon, should I flatten each of the eight hull longitudinal sections, or just half the hull flat? I also wonder how can I achieve any proportional accuracy and spaci…

I started out with a single spline with several CP's connected to form a rudder shape. After selecting that closed loop, I extruded twice. Once done with extrusion, I wanted to stitch the sides together to create the side faces. On my first stitch, I noticed the distortion you see in the jpeg. Normally I see that with overlapping splines, but how can that be on such a simple shape? Two extrusions is all. Also, when I select a CP and pull it away, there is no other one hiding behind it - if that makes any sense. Any ideas?

I'm attempting to apply a small QT movie as a decal. It will be on a curved shape and will create an illusion of spinning with a series of blurred frames. but when I apply it, either directly in the model window or in an action window after flattening, it applies exactly the same way, with a few stretched/repeated images. I'm attempting to attach an image to show the way the movie looks, and the way it applies. Can someone telll me what I could be doing wrong? Thanks! P.S. The attach image may not be working. Don't know why, I browse for the image but there's no way to upload apparently. You'd think I'd know how to work this by now.

A thread in New Users got me started on this. As usual, a lot harder than I thought. Let me know what you think. The quest was for a semi-realistic tire. I think it is semi-realistic. It will bear up at the distance I think you would normally view a tire from. The perspectives from pictures, combined with how to flatten a half torus without having to then a paint banana shaped, regular pattern drove me nuts. Also, the subdivisions need to be regular, you can see what I did in the action within the project. Whatever. If I hadn't had the wonderful tutorial from William Sutton at Zandoria, I would not even had know what to try. What a great tutorial. If you w…

Hi, I own a bar in NYC (www.thefatblackpussycat.com). We have a logo that I think is perfect to be animated, but I don't have the time (or talent) to do it. I used to use lightwave with a video toaster years ago, and did some simple anims, but I think this is over my head. Is there anyone out there who would like to take on a small project (for pay of course). I've attached a jpg of the logo. The original is a vector image in Illustrator (if that helps) Please contact me at NDworman@ix.netcom.com

Have you noticed I have a car fetish? But I digress. So this is my 3rd attempt to model this car. It's one of the favorite things from my childhood, I watched all the episodes as a kid. (And I just bought them all on DVD whoohooo!) It has been extremely difficult due to the converging curves. I suppose I could have made the three components of the front end separate, but I didn't want to. I do want to see if I can cut out the hood. I think I did a good job of keeping spline count down - but I'm not sure how good my approach is, but like I said..3rd attempt so, I've failed miserably twice already! I'm trying to keep Colin's lessons in mind on this one. The "m" is…

Well you won't see the space marines till the Image contest but here is his primary weapon - the Boltgun (modified - somewhere between Blur's version and the actual models version) No decals yet - it's all geometry with working magazine and projectiles (ie the projectile and casings are separate geometry) and the casings fly out the ejection port (once I build the appropriate actions) Any comments, ideas for improvement most welcome. Patch count for the gun is 6,380. My marines are 12,000 each - so far (and the gun is a separate model) Wireframe view: Cheers
