Here's a wip I have of a Bath tub project for Automation. This is what I wanted to use the 2 sided patch on but had to make an inner skin as instead. David EDIT: I don't know why the .m1v files play slowly (unless it's just my computer). It's too bad cause I get really good compression using them. tub2.m1v

So I have mostly finished building my fleet of racing jets, and would now like to race them through some large canyons or possibly fjords, with maybe a mountain range thrown in for good measure. The jets should move about 250m/s so the canyon will have to be large indeed. I have my old AM 2000 book, and it mentions rebumpx, but I am not sure how compatable it is with v11. Any thoughts on good relatively recent tutorials on how to build mountains and valleys?

I got my little demon sprite [now known as the Wright Sprite] flying. Unfortunately, I'm only cleared for VFR landings, and in order to bring him back to earth, I had to go into a direct side view in the Choreography [#2] and turn off the Terrain and Rocks so I could see his feet touch down. This added a keyframe which I didn't notice at the time. When I got the sequence ended, I tried to watch it through the Cameras view as I moved the scrubber. The ground disappeared and came back, plus a few lights that I had turned off [and back on] so there were fewer lines running all over the place. I tried selecting them and deleting. I opened the sub-folders under each item and …

Right, I couldn't resist posting this critter - it's a long while since I modeled a creature in AM and I am trying out the OSX version of AM. So far so good. This chap will be appearing, once finished, in my Bella Bear stories and replace the original alien that I nicked from the Hash CD. I kinda made him look a bit like Alf since I thought it might be fun to make him distant cousin… Anyway any comments or suggestions welcome. Oh, and please ignore the leery material - I am not using that I just wanted to try the materials under AM for OSX

I have a model of a castle Im working on, The walls of the castle are enclosed so a boolean cutter can cut out a doorway (i have a shape of a doorway as a named group with a bone set as a boolean cutter) it works fine at certain camera angles when rendered in the Chor. but at other camera angles the floor group (below the wall) or some of its patch areas will become transparent showing whats underneath....Ive set the floor group with decals, materials and just strai…

Help, When I rendered this scene, there are weird elliptical lines that show up ONLY when a particular model moves. I'm using lines in the guarding section to simulate wire mesh (mesh is commonly used in these types of industrial installations. The lines are then "rendered as lines". I didn't think it was an issue till I ran the presentation through the projector. They stick out like a sore thumb. Any help would be appreciated. d

Trying to see what users would be interested in regards to a simple animated material tut. I put this together to get sime ideas of simple things that can be done. I used the material combiner sine in this example in fact it is the same material with slightly different settings and colors on the handle and the globe of the wand. In the wand it is doing the displacement and in the globe the twirling colors. I did use a lens flare at the end. So if this is of interest let me know here. qt 47k mattest00.mov

This is a quick animation for something I am trying. It is rigged and animated real quick and dirty. I just wanted to see how it worked. I built this model in another app and imported to a:m as obj. It came in well and had all the texture and bumb maps intact. I rigged it, animated it, and rendered it in a:m. I wont say which app I used because we arent supposed to talk about competitors, but any app that can output obj can be used. It is kind of high poly because the model was subdivided but a low poly version would have worked just as well as it is going to splines. I don't know what use it is but I just feel like exploring other things I can do with a:m. attached …

Hi, I'm in the middle of an animation project for a friend. This is an intro movie for his ministry. The camera flies past all the names of the countries he is ministrering in then into a room with some sort of logo. I have the walls as white as I'm going for avery clean modern look. This is my first go at this sort of thing and I was wanting to see if there was any ideas out there for lighting a white room like this one. So far I've got the names walls more or less where I want them. I started adding some lights but couldn't really get a good realistic feel to the image. I've attached the project file. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks. -B…

this is the second piece with my animated self-portrait. Mostly it was a test to see how easily a second mo-cap session could be dropped on the puppet. My approach tries to do all adjustment on the puppet, rather than the mo-cap data. The goal is to just drop the action on the character and be 95% done. The reality was only about 85%, but that's not bad for a first shot. Here is a link to the piece on Youtube: As with the last piece ( ), I hope to post this on A:M films, but I'm waiting to hear back from HASH about that. Ben

The qt below which is only 30 frames shows what happens to some hair when only the angle limit changes. Hope this is useful.

Usually before I mess around with things, I like to fully understand how things work... well, after awhile I finally decided to jump in and just mess with things in AM. I learned a lot from the experience so far, and it has been a ton of fun, so I hope to continue in the future. Anyway, here is a short animation of Thom doing some sort of umm... exercise or something. (more like a very crappy gymnast's routine). It didn't really start out with a plan any more specific than to Animate, so any storyline you think you might see... is an illusion. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, --Ross K.

I have a main object that has an action that adds several other ojects to it in the chor. Now I want to control the ambient intensity in a pulsating fashion of one of the action objects (call it OX) being added. So I made a percentage pose with OX and adjusted the ambience from 0 to 100 with a pose slider. This is where I'm stuck - when I open the main object in the chor and click the OX action object, there is no pose slider to manipulate, even though I have the drivers icon unchecked. If I add the OX object to the chor by itself, the pose slider is there and works fine. When the OX object is added to the main object via the action, I can't find a way to access the …

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…

This has been on AM Films for some time, but I recently updated it to include the title and credits. (This expanded it to 6M instead of the posted 4M, so be warned.): Marshmallow Lecter It features a marshmallow character I designed for a series of short films in the works I call the "Marshmallow Safety Films". Being rather vulnerable, it's rather easy to invent many kinds of humorous "accidents" for them to experience. Not much action in this one. More of an exercise in lip syncing, based on Jason Osipa's excellent methods from his book "Stop Staring--Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right". (I very highly recommend this book! A must have for anyone …
