I've posted on this twice before and also put in a Hash/reports request, but so far the problem persists for me. Since I am not getting any feedback other than that the problem is resolved (this from Hash/reports as of V.14 - it is not resolved for me on any version up to V.15a), I am posting this again in hopes of finding my sanity and getting satisfaction in knowing that this is not only in my head. It doesn't matter which tileable image I use for the bitmapPlus material, the problem is the same. When I add a displacement value to the material and apply it to a group in any model, that goup become invisible in quick and final render. Sometimes it gets worse…

Hi all. Ive just started work on a simple boat to keep me busy with A:M. Any comments, critisims etc will be appreciated and ill post up more progress. Im hoping to finish up with a good scene of the boat on water (like a lake or something) with some land in the background. Expect some questions along the way My texturing isn't great and i haven't made any landscape before. Anyway, heres the very simple model so far, no textures and still needs some (mabe a lot of )tweaking. I will be adding more detail later on. It's not much at the moment but i think i might be able to make it into a quite good scene.

Using the little Mignola demon faerie, I have an eight-frame wingbeat cycle. I'm trying to build an Action in which he arches his back [chest out] stretches his arms out to the side, brings them front and claps his hands twice. Then drop into the 'ready-set-go' runners position. I want the wing cycle to happen sporadically as part of the warm up...but can't find a way to dupe the keyframes as a group. [in previous apps., I could Select>Alt>and drag copies] You'll see in the timeline where I duped the action one keyframe, one channel at a time. But is there a faster way? Second, when I paste the new keyframe in, it inserts a keyframe in every channel. Then …

I took my fish character, duped the head, installed mouth bones and started playing with building Sliders. 1st question: Can you have three [more than two, anyway] mouth positions on one slider? For example: "AH" at 0%. "EE" at 50% and "OO" at 100%? At the moment, it would appear not...only my two-position sliders move anything on the model...but hope springs eternal. 2nd: When I copied the fish's head, it's textures came over with it. I can do a snapshot in the Modeling/Bones window, and in the Action window, and it looks fine. But in the Choreography, it's solid black. Where did the textures go?

Thought I would make a character that I can put in lots of personality. Im thinking of rigging both eyes together as a head, stems of the eyes as a neck and the 2nd back bone might actually be just above the mouth region, should be kind of interesting. Of course lots of exaggerated mouth poses. Not sure on what color and texture I should use yet.. suggestions always welcomed.

Hey everyone! I finished something in which I had an idea to do but really was doubting I could pull it off. I made a checkerboard plane and just added fur to it make blue fur come from the blue box on the checker board and the red fur come from the red box on the checkerboard, etc.. Now how I got the animation was I just pulled the guide hairs from left to right on keyframes manually. Now I learned alot from this seeing as I've only been using AM since December 16th and this is my first animation done with AM. It 3 seconds long but what the heck! Ahh, well I hope you all like it! Checkerboard Fur Also, once you watch the Animation you will see how the h…

Just felt like making something this morning, so I put together this Indiana Jones-style fedora. Figured I'd stick it up here if anybody finds a need for one. It's definitely not to scale and hardly perfect, but I thought it came out okay and thought I'd share. Here's a turnaround: indyhat.mov And the file: indyhat.zip

The theme here, for me, was a sort of political cartoon in CG. It's title is Heaven's City Desk It's purpose was twofold... a tribute to my Uncle, George Murray, and a tribute to the fallen heroes of the "Fourth Estate" from last year. Fourth Estate= Press, and these people died trying to report what was happening in the world to us. I'm looking for crits. This was my heroes contest entry [attachmentid=13694] Notes: I resized here for space conservation. It was the wrong pic I posted, but it said the "same thing" as the correct one below. This is what I meant to post, the differences are subtle, but it is the final. [attachmentid=13695] …

As it stands, I added 10 key frames to a clip, one every second, and alternated 0 and 100% for the ambiance settings of a model bulb. Setting the interpolation to "hold" gave the quick blink. Clumsy, but it works. Never having used expressions before, could someone give me an idea of how to do this over a 10 second clip? This would be more elegant than keyframing, especially if I wanted to do this for a longer clip. Thanks

Hi Gang! I've been pretty quiet around here of late, partly due to this project I've been working on. Animation Master performed beautifully through the duration as usual. Comments are welcome! They will go on the outer packaging of a line of winter toys this winter both in the states and abroad. Snowman, SnowDino, and Snowbear. This is just the characters themselves not the packaging of course. I may be able to post that later actually. Enjoy! -Ethan

So, I haven't done much modeling recently, but I decided to pick it up again, and boy, am I surprised at what I'm making! I've been working on the model for several days now, and will join my not so good looking NCC-1701, but here is a (mostly) chronological look at the NCC-1701-A to date (still not complete, but getting there) And something I'm particularly proud of is my warp nacelles, they were very very tricky as they look simple, but are a little more awkward once you begin building them: And this is where I am at now. The deflector isn't done yet (that's a popular question I've found) and I still have some piece…

I also wanted to learn to combine Materials and Decals together (I used 3D painter for the decals) I personally like seeing models showcased within an animation thats why the Mov file with the model with some movement (just quickly done in an action).

Last night I put together a short [18 sec.] Choreo of spheres/planets moving around each other. Simple in the extreme. But when I try to render it [at 400x225_final qual.] it does fine until it hits Frame 15 [3%] and stops. The Elapsed Time counter starts off at about 18 minutes remaining and counts down to about 16 until lock-up. Then it starts to increase in time remaining. Last night I was surprised to see that it was saying 4 hours to complete. I decided to ignore it and do something else. When I came back, it was still at 3%, but said 30+ hours to complete. When I hit the Abort button I get the Vista blue-spinning circle...forever. You can't access menus let alone sh…

Hello peoples! I have just finished Keystones (Keystone Online Highschool Home Page) AM course. I am just waiting for my last grade. So I thought I would show you what sort of stuff this course has you go through. No videos though. Most are AVI and too big for the forum and my comp won't render MOVs. Most images are frame captures from the animation. The course has all animations on VGA format. Onward! Assignment 1: Introduction and spheres The course assumes that the student has never touched AM. I had some experience so these first couple of projects were a breeze. This one introduces the splines, texturing, scaling, and the chor window. The m…

Well it appears as though i am just like thanksgiving now. I only come around once a year with something to share. But i want to go ahead and get this topic on here so people can look forward to what i have done this year. I've definitely stepped up from last year's video but only in the fact that i am doing more animation and videos rather than pictures for the individuals in the video. And several of the scenes i went into some detail creating but didnt go to photorealistic given the look of the characters. I started on the video late this year or i would have redesigned the characters but i really like the look of these guys and they are fun to animate. This is a…

I'm working on a web site for a gentlemen that carves wooden Santa characatures and he wanted an animated Santa that would dance to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and I told him "I can use one of your carved santas" (perfect job for A.M.) So I took a digital picture of one of his carved Santas and mapped it to a grid (billboard) and added a simple skeleton and proceeded to make him groove - including a "bowl-full-of-jelly" laugh just 30 frames and I'm pretty happy with the results (It looks like one of his wooden sculptures dancing!) My problem is I'm trying to get him rendered on a (pure 255,255,255) white background (without any sort of gradient) and WITH a s…

This is the basic room with 9,000 patch. I made the cornice and I was pretty deep into it and selected almost all of them and accidently press delete when I was aiming for the forward slash and deleted the whole thing, then I prayed and waited for the system to catch up and then press undo and it all came back. Quickly I save the file, and thank my lucky stars. Close call! Turn the cornice into a bump map. I am thinking of doing the same for the ceiling with a tin impression, and a center piece for the art deco chandelier. I am doing a new render in stereo and I'll post it in the stereo of the feb contest as this is the inside of the house that I modeled for the contest.
