Hi, I assembled all the footage (you know what I mean) done for the Spiral Slayer Book Trailer--mostly screen or concept tests--and put all three musical scores behind it. Also added credits--the 5 or 6 Hash artists who helped with the designs, modeling, texturing, etc. In truth it's long and boring, LOL, but perhaps not so much to other Hash animators. Its here! Remember, play it full screen and have your sound on. Also, very few scenes are finished product and no story is really told. Cheers, Rusty

Hey guys taking a break from modeling that car i got into a job of doing music karaoke videos. using blue screens and AM to model the backgrounds is new and kind of a trial and error thing but its working out ok so far. all scenes were rendered in full 1080p HD which roughly took an hour with AO 16 passes i then brought images into photoshop and cut out the windows for color green screen for additional footage. then proceeded to add decorations to the room in order to liven it up a bit in my video program i added in backdrops and other goodies the TV with video in it was particularly hard for it needed its own rendering. i stilled need to add c…

Here is an image from a lighting study. I am trying to get better at matching shadows and lighting properties with background images. This one shows me with an old friend I met while hiking (I'm the one on the left in the picture). People who have been around long enough will probably remember the other guy as Ted from the Hash character set in the 2004-2006 time frame.

I'm trying to get a car model in shape. Have been working around with the airplain example, and switched them into a Citroèn. Think I made some failure in the perspective, because it got some scratches. Made myself a bit difuse for keeping all part-names for decaling. Fun to do!

I separated the audio into bass, mid, high and top versions with the EQ filters in Audacity. After applying the plugin to the audio i deleted all the "bottom half" keyframes of the waveform and rescaled what was left to fit from 0% to 200%. WILh400.mov It has promise. I think it would benefit from some sort of smoothing or peak averaging to make the amplitude result more resemble the perceived volume of the sound rather than track the instantaneous level of the waveform itself.

Somewhere on this forum some one showed a project they were working on describing a solid object turning into a cloud. What I am working is an arrow from Cupid hitting its target and the arrow turns into a cloud of hearts and floats into the air. I was looking through John's prj and did not see one. I was thinking it was Gerry and his Christmas animation but did not see it there either. Does anyone remember or could point me in the correct direction? Steve

I'm thinking of making stool out of plywood that I can sit on when i practice on my porch. Regular chairs are too short and typically have a rear-ward slant that is uncomfortable. It needs to be something cheap I can leave out there and not worry that it might disappear. I also want it to be adjustable. I'm testing out ideas in A:M with simple shapes. I gave each piece a bone so i can rearrange them in Action 1 to see if I might be able to cut them all from one 2' x 4' piece of plywood. Action 2 is a test of the geometry of a ratchet mechanism for the adjustable seat. RatchetA000.mov Much revision remains to be done, however

A character for a story I am working on at the moment, I mixed the head features in Makehuman, saved and imported as .obj/prop, and then retopo'd in a Choreography window of AM. I saw what David Higgins had made with his model and have found it a great way to model relatively quickly and easily. The splines form reasonably smoothly without a lot of editing as well.

Hey guys, it has been a long long time since I've done anything with A:M or even had it installed on my computer. Maybe 2012? To be honest I was missing using it and installed the last version I had, 14x, and started something I've been interested in modelling and 3dprinting. Not sure why but I've been itching to model the IronMan helmet. So last week reinstalled it and grabbed some rotoscopes, spent a day getting my feel for the modeling window again. I was so familiar with the software years ago that my minds muscle memory was almost totally intact. so, loaded up a few rotoscopes and got started. Im just out to do the helmet and this is where I've gotten to. Ho…

Most images I post here are of a model in broad daylight. But since I'm building a railroad observation car I wanted to see if the internal lighting rig would be believable from the outside. The only way to check it would be to put the model in subdued light, so here it is just after sundown. obsv_car_walk_around_01.mp4

Figured I'd post some of the modeling I'm doing with @Pizza Time (who doesn't like pizza???) I'll be glad to post the models here but I'm giving them to PT first. In the meantime I'll share some turn arounds and perhaps add some detail about what I did... why I did it and... maybe even why you shouldn't do it that way! (Disclaimer: I don't know any of these characters names so the names I supply very likely will be random) First up:

I've had AM for sometime and decided to model a human as a way to improve my skills. I'm not completely happy with the proportions of the face and would appreciate comments from any real artists on the forum. I think she looks too masculine. There are no decals on the skin, just procedurals. I planned on using the bump and diffuse procedurals as a base for the decals. I was curious if anyone had used this technique with success. Rudimentary attempts to animate using pose sliders seemed to work really well, but I wasn't completely happy with the model and had to delete the poses. (that was a learning experience right there) I modeled the body separately and …

If you're curious, read along in the thread under "Animation Master: General Discussion" (I guess) ************************* hi gang. for someone who hadn't touched A:M in a bit, I don't think I'm doing too bad. Here's some of what I've tried my hand at so far. The helmet was first, in keeping with the request for it and for hats (first of many I hope) Then there's the night goggles to go with it. I started them but have to detail it all and get the head straps just right (can you tell I've had to wear them in the desert before?) Then there's the toaster. I started making the classic Sears model, all curved and pretty and all... ...but then I realize…

box car textures WIP I've been getting more satisfaction from building textures now that I've adjusted my attitude by repeatedly chanting the acronym THWRT (pronounced "thwurt", it stands for "to heck with render times") to overcome my fear of multi-multi-branch materials. I took a chance and mixed modeled rivets (the darker ones) with bump mapped (all the sheet metal rivets) and was pleasantly surprised with the result. I've rationalized their different textures by assuming sheet metal rivets would be made from a different alloy than structural rivets. However the close-up image shows one, not unexpected, hazard to bump maps; the ladder rung's shadow does…

I'm struggling with how to actually contstruct some basic models and where to put the bones to best effect. As an example, see the attached caterpillar...a VERY basic character, yet, when I take the bone ending right in the middle of his back, pull straight up to create a tall hump in the middle as he's crawling, the skin deforms horrible and creates very nastly flaps of skin overlapping and going inside of one another. I've applied smart skin and tried to clean up the kinks, but based on the amount of time it's taking to try and deal with this, I'm wondering if inherently I've approached construction and adding bones from a very inneficient angle. The character's pr…

Hi folks: Been trying to model this cartoon sea turtle, but I don't have a clue as to what I'm doing. I bought the "Model a face" video from Anzovin, and I have to say it is very good. However, I'm having a hard time adapting it to a cartoon character such as this one. Especially since this one doesn't have a nose. I'll appreciate any feedback. Thanks. front.jpg.zip

Hi. I'm quite new to these boards, although I have been meddling with A:M since I first got it back in 1998. Having never been able to draw or otherwise articulate my visual sense of artistry (or lack of same) it was manna from heaven. This female head is the latest of my attempts and is mainly designed to experiment with animation of facial expressions. Ken Baer encourages us to post our work, and I gladly listen to any critique and suggestions this generous and kind forum has to offer. Peter
