Hello well her a project I'm working on I'm testing out a software that hayvern sent the link to it call Pepakura. I took the skull head from Eugene and exprot the file as a 3ds file save it as skull head. Once the model is save as a 3ds file then open your Pepakura 3 Go to file skull head open it pepakura 3 and this is what you get Once the your 3d model is Pepakura hit the unfold button but first uncheck auto you can manual scale the size of the model its in MM though they got conversion charts online Here what it looks like unfolded. you can see that a lot of parts to be cut out of paper. It also tell how many s…

I have a simple practice animation using Shaggy. He has about seven seconds of movement keyed in. For a while, the animation would play just fine. [in the Choreo. window/Skeletal Mode]. Suddenly, it has locked itself at 04:08. I can't move the slider under the Choreography, or, it just bounces back to 04:08. If I enter the numbers 00:00:00 and hit 'play', it jumps to 04:08. I've set the Choreography length in Properties. I've set the length at the top of the Project Workspace, and I've set the length of the blue bar in Choreography. Still, something is not right. I have a second Choreography going with Shaggy, and there's no problem.

I wanted to know if there is a way to change the two colors of the timeline in project workspace. There is the white and off-white making it hard to tell the limitations of the choreography. It is difficult to tell the difference.

I've modeled this small RC plane for my day job and I'm getting a weird dark or shadowed patch that I can't account for, which I've circled in red on this jpeg. I'm also attaching the prj file. If anyone can look at this quickly and see what might be causing it, I can't figure it out nohow! 924290.04_Hor_airplane.zip

Sometimes when making a 5pt patch there are bad cp's where they render as dark spot that renders bad. Is there something dumb I'm doing? Is there a work around? Still learning here.

I took a break from rigging Kong to work on another great ape. Avalanche Software donated the orangutan model to the extra DVD (and other models), but it had no hair material. So far this is what I have. I haven't done any grooming yet. Any "grooming" look you see is through the dynamic settings. Still need to adjust the length and density in areas and adjust the hair group. I'll probably never get it to look as good as Avalanche, but I'll certainly try. There's also a monkey which I may do as well. I don't know if I'll rerig him, but he's in desperate need of a hand gizmo.

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

Is there a plugin or add on that allows you to print the PWS and its contents? For example I have a character with several decals and maps and settings that I would like to save in print form. I am saving all this information to prevent data loss. I have backups on several machines and back up drives but I am old fashion and would love to create a notebook with all the characters and sets and props information. Steve

I'm working on a flying robot model for a friend's movie. I have a model that has been rendering in Shaded mode in the model window without issue. I see the colors assigned and decals applied. I was in Bones Mode and was picking points for a bone. I then exited to Modeling Mode and have lost the expected Shaded functionality. I mean, I see the object shaded, but no decals, but the render is very dark and the light for the rendered view appears to be from below. 1. Does not reproduce w/ another model that I created. 2. Appears to be localized to the actual model data! I reopend the .mdl into a new project and observed the problem. 3. Restarted AM…

It's been a while since I posted anything... Just haven't had the time to play around. But I'm taking an animation class this semester, so I had a good excuse to start messing with A:M again This is one of the things I'm working on right now. It's not for class, just for fun. I've wanted to do it for a while, and since I left my flash drive with the files for my class project at school, I figured this weekend would be a good time to get started. I'm working on a Chibi-style character. Chibi is the big-head little-body style, like the sprites from the old Final Fantasy games. I'm actually working on an Oppai Chibi character.

Well, it's probably way overdue that I post a WIP thread on this project, so here's what I've got so far: This is the body for one of the two characters. Today I'll be working on modeling the head, texturing and rigging him. The other character is going to be cloned from this completed model. I'll need to make some minor changes to differentiate the two, like the other character will have longer sleeves, a thinner build, some minor tweaks to the face, and different hair/facial hair. But for all intents and purposes, the brunt of the work is going to be done on this character (Rigging, facial setup, etc) and the other character will just be a duplicate. Se…

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.

OK, I have been away for a bit. I got out of doing video and started faceting gemstones in the basement (the computer is in the house - not so sure it is a trade up ). Well, never say never again. The new hobby started meeting the old one. So now I am working on a video about a faceters' meeting (Franklin Faceter's Frolic 3 if you must). Back to old reliable for doing covers and titles, A:M. My new hobby has a tool, GemCad for Windows, for doing design work on stones. And there are large libraries of stones around (including famous diamonds). I noticed that it will export dxf files. Yippy! Well, not too fast. The plug-in import is a little clunky. Bu…

Hello there! After longer abstinence I finally started A:M again and thought that a pumpjack would be a good exercise for a mechanical object. Moving parts in various directions for rigging, both big and small parts to model. Right now it's in the "big parts completed" stage (attached is a quick render from the modeller). Next steps: adding details like nuts and bolts, some gears and vents for the engine box, struts, walkways and ladders. Still lots of work to model but I'll post this with a question: any good tutorials or how-to's out there when it comes to texturing/weathering? I think... no, I know that I'll suck at that - and even though this is just a little si…

I have a rather complex landscape with a road and want the middlespline of the road become a path for my car. So now when I create a new path constraint I am not able to pick this specific spline as a path . I know, that it is possible, because I have achieved it before, but lost the constraint, when I switched my car model. So my question is: Is there a special trick or workaround to make that spline pickable again or make it selectable in the pull downmenue?

I know that if I hold teh book up like you do when reading it and put the bone up/down the book spine and associate front cover CPs I can then rotate in Z axi to 'close' the book. but then I get stuck with the binding AND when I close the book, the PADDING page overlaps and doesn't close on top of the padding page. The front padding can be removed but being a dictionary book with the word definitions I ant being in the middle, I can't realistically have the middle of the dictionar…

Working on a treasure chest right now. So far, I have extruded 2 shapes to make up the lid and the body of the chest. I chose to do it this way since I wanted the chest to have some depth to it, and not a knife edge on the walls that make up the lid and body. However, now I'm left with the problem of closing the ends off. What would be the best way to go about doing this? I know I can probably come up with something that will work, but not sure it will look "nice". Is there an existing "best practice" for capping surfaces like this?

Inspired by Mark's impressive re-creation of the "Rear Window" set, I've started experimenting with using BitmapPlus for building bricks and shingles. In an attempt to add more variation to the bricks I added three materials with three different decals and set their visibilities so each one only shows up one-third of the time. Worked like a charm. Then I ran the same play with three bump decals. This time only the first decal is visible, no matter what the other two material's parameters are. There's an easy work around (live with one texture) but I'm curious if there's something I'm missing.
