Hi y'all. I'm not totally new to AM but still wet behind the ears. I've been working with it for a few months now. I didn't finish all the exercises because I got tasked with making a whole movie! ya, right. Anyway, I figured I'd learn what I need, when I need it. I know I won't need a flock of birds or waving flags and since I'm rendering in Toon, I can make a lot of boo boos and they don't show up. LOL. I'm at a point where I need to work on the Interlace however it seems to take the rendering from 4 hrs, to 18 hrs. (avi 720p) for every 14 secs (largest chunk I can seem to do without crashing). yippy. I've learned a lot by "diving in" but the process is sometimes frustrating. I'm searching for more info on 'smoke' too trying to get my character to smoke a cigarette. I have 8 mins of a 70 min movie after 6 months! lmao!
I may not post a lot here at first because I'm trying to GET information. I really don't have any useful input just yet. Only my work-arounds which I'm sure everyone else already figured out. I can hardly wait til my movie is completed. The list of credits will have 1 name for every aspect of the movie. (take THAT pixar)
I do have a production company lined up for my movie once completed. I'll let everyone know when I'm rich and famous... and bald from pulling out my hair!
