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 …

Hello all, I have worked of rigging my character for the last week, and thought I was doing well. I finished creating clinched hand movements when I moved to creating smart skin for the characters body. When I went back to test a previously hand clinch poses, I noticed the sliders didn't work. I opened an action and tried to move the fingers individually, but they seemed to be frozen -- only the roll worked. Interestingly, a previous version of the model exhibited the same problem. I can't figure out what is happening. Anyone have any ideas? AD PIV, 3.6 GZ HT using AM 2005 (Orang 11.1h) ArmWIP2.zip

Well, it's that time of year again. The Druids are gathered at Stonehenge to watch the first rays of sunlight illuminate the standing stones on the longest day of the year. Romantic, fanciful minds turn to thoughts of Shakespear and fairies. Time to dig out an old file but,,, AGGGHHH! Suddenly my old AVIs won't play! Has anyone found that renders they have done in the past refuse to run on newer versions of MS Media Player? This is the only one that I could get to run. One of my very first A:M tests from a few years ago. Happy Midsummers Day!

Since I am still waiting for my AM 2006 disk (my V.11 was damaged) I had some spare time to devote to my T-rex model. I decided to try my hand at creating a head decal image. Here is what I've got so far. Please critique freely.

Martin and gang---- I am not sure how difficult this would be to implement, but it would be kind of nice if there were a way to bookmark different entries within the help system, so that you can go back to them quickly. I am not a full-time user of AM, and if I don't do something a bunch of times I find myself having to go back to the help index or pester people on the board to find something. It would be nice to be able to personalize the help file, in order to keep entries on things that stump you handy. Just something I would find useful. If there is already a way to do this I'd love to know how. Thanks Roger

I had tons of extra time tonight so I decided to finish up my Droid Starfighter, which is to be used int he first action scene from Clone Commander. I used Color, Bump and Reflectivity maps, but I had to use progressive render b/c for some reason, it freezes when I do normal render. Critique is welcome, although we won't be getting this close to it in the finished film.

This is one of the first thing I ever built in A:M a few years ago. I decided to revisit it after everyone was making rooms to use for Radiosity in the Radiosity Forum. Rendered with 6 Bulbs and 1 Klieg for the outside light. 25 Passes at 800 X 600 took about 3 hours and 13 minutes to render. I threw in the torso of my centaur that I made and gave him glowing red eyes. Although I am putting it in this forum, there may come a time that I decide to redo it again. Any comments are appreciated.

I created some images for the local residents group to show the effect of widening a road and adding parking on the roadside. I've only had time to build one car, a basic Audi which uses a colour map for most of the detail, but I widened the road in a paint program and then used a camera rotoscope with the ground set to front projection. I might build some more cars, they're always useful for bg / architectural work, but the image is for a meeting tomorrow and will probably never be seen again.

So after finally getting my act together and upgrading to 13 I realized that it's been a looong time since I spent some quality time with am's renderer. That's right, I'm a modelling tweaking addict, nothing is ever good enough to render for me. So I decided to make an abstract simple scene and use it to play around with and try to make it drastically different each time I render it. I constrained myself to only changing rendering options, lights, and materials. The camera position and geometry are locked down, you have no idea how tempting it is to twiddle with these for me . So here are the first 3 in hopefully what may become a large series. I'll attach…

Hello - 2-3 weeks back I posted a pic I had a caricature artist draw at Universal Studios http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33132 because I wanted to see how well it would work as a rotoscope for a character... using it worked out pretty good. This isn't really a "work in progress" but I would love some crits. I have created one other "human" as one of my early models and she didn't come out real great - her lip movement for talking was way off too, so I kind of set her way back in the animation, so you couldn't really tell - I need more "human" modeling practice which seems to be the hardest for me, so this is the new version of her. The lip syn…

Pretty self explanatory. When I use a decal and apply it as a distortion map, it produces these tears in my model's arms. The percentage is only set to about 70, so it's not like it's stretching the map all to heck and back. The decal is applied in a on/off pose with the models arms set to origin in the correct orientation with a "cylindrical" application method. What is causing these tears?

While I'm waiting to get my Robot fixed I began working on these rotoscopes. They are inspired/copied from an old Golden Age cartoon "The Fox and the Crow." I've always loved crow characters. I found when I was doing my robot that not having a rotoscope was too much freedom and not enough structure, and I got bogged down since I had no direction so I'm hoping this will help. I want a decent rotoscope that will help me plan out the splines, which was another issue I had. Someone said (I think it was the guy who did the Osprey) that you should always work from a rotoscope. Anyway, here it is - any comments are appreciated that you think might improve it, or anythi…

Since I was doing My racing Jets, I looked at some pictures of the Nevada Air races and I saw the birds doing hard turns around checkered pylons, I thought it would be cool to have the Jets screaming around a checkered blimp. In the nose and tail I did some things that I knew would give me puckering, like I saw in the images of real blimps. one Part that disappoints me is that you can hardly see the cool five bladed propeller that I put on the nacelles

Hello all- I have a sequence of 26 images that I am using as sprite particles. Two questions that I haven't been able to figure out yet: 1) Can you make each image being used as a sprite last longer that 1 frame? 2) Can you make the 26 images cycle over and over? At the moment, after frame 26, the animation just uses the last image and repeats it to the end... Thanks for any insights!! Tom

Hi! I have been tinkering with an old project and have noticed that an old problem still exists in A:M12. The problem is that if I have dynamics turned on for the hair of my character and I have dynamic bones elsewhere on the character there is some kind of interference set in motion between the two. Some of you may remember an old test that I did with a Woot model whose coat-tails would fly up when the hair dynamics was turned on. This problem still exists in version 12 (v?) and I wondered if it has been solved in version 13. Another problem that I am experiencing with this character is her hair. I have the constraint set to 'spring' because that always seems t…
