I am working on a possible mini movie contest entry. The action takes place in a baseball game. I am attaching a short clip showing a possible opening shot where the camera flies in to center on the pitcher. I am also attaching a larger still that shows the lighting in better resolution. I am looking for comments and critiques on the set and the lighting. The characters are not posed in anyway other than a pose that is not the standard T pose. When the camera zooms in the pitcher is very likely to be in a different pose and there will be more players on the field. Also, there be a little more detail on the field such as foul lines and markings on the outfield w…

I was playing around with feathers and sprite emitters for something I am working on and thought this was pretty sweet. So I am posting it. I could not get the emitter itself to not render. It is turned off and does not show in the Chor but no matter how I rendered it, it would always be there. Oh well Feathers.mov

The local Futures Foundation asked me to come up with artwork for their fundraiser "Taste of Technology"— a silent auction and wine tasting event. This would be used on postcards, posters, and a huge banner. So this is what I gave them. And, it was a pretty big hit as well.

I figured the best way to start in 3D animation is to animate a character that's already in 3D. Johnny here was actually the original concept DNA Productions had for what is now known today as Jimmy Neutron. I based him off the pilot episode design (see my avatar). I want to animate his robotic dog next, and so I was wondering if there was a free dog skeleton lying around that could use to save some time. Maybe on the Extras CD?

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…

Greetings, Doubtless in over my head here, am looking for some pointers to get this project underway. I have modified the horse model from the 2004 CD to create this deer. I think I have the bones assigned properly, however the pics show an action that contains problem influences. I would like to "simply" bone this thing so I can manipulate the joints. I don't really care about smartskinning it at this time, but I assume that is where the problem lies. I have not checked other bones, there will probably be lots of this kind of thing. I need to be able to manipulate legs, neck, tail, ears without stray bits moving around, so.. where do I dig to uncov…

Howdy all A.M.'s rendering of bump and normal maps is quite good. To all the newbies (I'm one too.) texturing in A.M. is fairly easy to learn once you understand decaling in A.M. sense. I use a combination of 3D painter and some 2d work. Also Shader Map Pro to produce the bump and normal maps from the texture map. I hope to make a texturing tutorial for newbies in the near future.

Hello - just finished up a 12 1/2 minutes long Crown Moulding installation video. It came out pretty good - it was pretty technical because I had to create a tape measure with accurate measurement througout the room, drill screws in, cut the moulding on a saw, apply spacking and sand it off. It was fun, but seemed to go on forever. ;-) Anyway, it's on my site if anyone wants to take a look at it - www.flashanimationwebsitedesign.com - on the lower middle section - "2D and 3D Flash Demonstrations. It's button "06" - 6th sample on the row. - Eric

Hey all, Since I've kind of already tipped my hand by showing an animatic, I thought I would share my progress 8 seconds in. As my schedule ramps up, I may decide to cut and run after the first scene (30 secs) is finished, rather than go for the special effects finale at the end of the big rant. Vegeta here is plenty ticked off throughout the sequence to fit the topic. I've been trying to nail down a lot of the skinning issues, and I'm not sure if the face needs more expression (there will be facial close-ups later to concentrate on, and in the framing, I don't know if details can be spotted). Let me know what you think: http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~…

Hey- Inspired by Joe Williamson's Hunter, I have been trying to get the Dynamic Constraints to work on some parts of my model. Hash has a nice simple tutorial in the online reference but the menu is different from the menu I get in my A:M v11.0o... (see attached illustration for clarity) I am trying to get the 'stiffness' control to work-Can anyone set me astraight on this? BTW- I would have posted this in the general A:M forum, but I see they do not allow attachments there.

My tall character walks fine when I slide the scrubber back and forth, but when I render [shaded] he simply slides along in the starting position. The little guy is fine. I have noticed that when I drop an Action on the tall guy and want, say, six cycles, they don't show as individual blocks in the PWS as do the cycles for the short guy. Is this pointing to the problem? MOTERCYCLE_TEST.zip

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

Here are real-world objects shot against a (poor) blue screen. With A:M Composite it's possible to pull out a matte like this... and use that as a transparency map to remove the background from the original image... and overlay the photographed objects over CG imagery Ta-daaaahhhh! I"ve been wanting to figure out a way to do this in A:M by itself for maybe 5 years now. I'm still R&D-ing this so no tut yet.

Hi guys! I have been away for a while, so I need to catch up :-) I'm preparing a new short film and I will probably use A:M to make it. I'm still using good old v13 (I purchased v14 but I didn't really use it). Is there anything really new in v15? Has anything changed regarding rendering? This new film will be technically much simpler than Chicory 'n' Coffee (I will mostly use A:M for 2D animation- only couple of objects will be made in 3D) so I believe I could do it just fine with version 13... but anyway I would very appreciate first-hand experiences with new version.

So... I made this dragon right, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about rigging it. I would get The Setup Machine, but its a tad bit expensive. I'm posting a picture of the whole thing shaded and wireframe. If it helps I can post more pics of close-ups of certain areas. (i.e. the legs, neck, tail, wings, etc.) Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Who modeled the "boy" model on the new Extras CD? I've been trying to make a 14-year-old by "youngifying" Jimmy, but I'm getting better results by "oldifying" the boy. Now I wanna talk to a pro. I could probably track this down, but it's easier just to ask.

OK, simple Chor question. Could use some help please. Here's the setup... 1. Drag-Drop model into Chor. 2. Drag-Drop Action onto model. 3. Play the Chor and model performs action nicely. 4. Drag-Drop another Action (same action, whatever, a different action would be fun too.) 5. Play the Chor . Now the action gets performed 2 times. However, the second action pops back to the starting point of where the first action started and what I want to happen is, have the second action start from where the first action ended. Question: What do I have to do in the chor, to have the second action start from where the first action ended. I hope this is quit…
