hi there,
I'm looking for a program that is able to convert my video footage into a jpeg image sequence. My source footage is .mp4.
Would anyone know of any free programs that would be able to do this for me?
I do remember sometime ago using a program that did this but i've forgotten the name now.
I have adobe after effects if that helps?
Many Thanks
Elliot

This is fantastic great work everyone !!

Hey this looks great, Ill have a go even though i'm not the greatest modeller around.
-
I think I have completed the first half of those instructions correctly but its just the second half of them i dont understand:
To close that lathe hole, click on 1 of the looping splines (A) hit K to break it.
Click on the other looping spline (cool.gif so it highlights towards the center,
hit DELETE to delete it (you can't break it, when you've worked with splines more you'll have a feeling for why)
Meld the 2 center cp's,
then meld the side one in.
-
Really need some help on this one

Im going though alonsos tutorial's (http://www.hash.com/amtutes/Bootcamp/index.html) and am having trouble understanding what he means.
I'm currently on the second page on the first instruction (http://www.hash.com/amtutes/Bootcamp/two.html) and can't understand what he is getting at.
I have attached my project file of what I think he means
-
As the titles suggests: Why cant I send Private messages on the hash forums?
-
I notice on his storefront, there is a link on the left side of the screen to "Send this user a message." He used to post on these boards, but I don't remember what his screen name was.
I contacted Barry before I bought them (they were on DVD then) and he was very helpful.
Thanks,, Looks like ill have to make a lulu account then *sigh*

By far, my favorite tutorials for character modeling are Barry Zundel's which can be purchased here.
These seem great just what I'm looking for.
Is there anyway of contacting him before I buy them as I can't find an email address anywhere.
-
I thought I'd try out my newly learnt skills. I started to create a very rough character to understand more about how patch's work and how to attach different body parts together. I've attached the project file have a laugh LOL.
Are they any video tutorials worth buying just for modelling. I found the SIGGRAPH 99 making a female figure rather useful but with the poor quality its kinda hard to follow

Elliot:
Take a look here:
http://www.alienlogo.com/tincan/
Specifically the Basic Splinesmanship I & II.
It's everything you need to know about how splines work.
Jobe, you're cubes have internal patches.
I've seen this website quoted around these forums a few times and was always put off by its uninviting layout of just plain text with a few images.
I finally decided to make myself read it and complete the exercise. I must say its helped clear loads of things up, so helpful.
I never knew you could select a spline with the ","
. I can now patch the end of shapes =)Extremely helpful. Shame he never finished the tutorial and I doubt it ever will be looking at the date.
Thanks Guys

What you have is a four point point spline circle with corners peaked and four other splines attached at the corner. Select a cp and press the comma key. Yours do not make straight lines. Instead, yours are all 'L' shaped.
I see now thanks so much. Thanks for all your time and help, ill look at those spline tutorials to further embed my understanding.
Thanks again for being patient hopefully I'll beable to make some nice models now
-
There I cant understand it
-
Yes they are connected I will send you the A:M project file in a min

Elliot, you've got to think of the splines and their continuity. Like I said before, one spline making a ring is a hole.
In order to get patches, you need to use splines that intersect, like this:
5-Point patches are a special consideration. 3 and 4 point patches occur naturally. 5-points were created to aid in modelling.
Thanks for your help but when I try to replicate your model I still don't get a patch:
What am I doing wrong?
-
Have a look at the rules here again:
"The short-version:
1.) Patches must be created from 3, 4 or 5-CPs.
2.) Patches must contain of at least 2 splines, which are connected.
3.) 5-Point-Patches have to be created by selecting 5 CPs (see the image how they should be placed) and clicking on the Make 5-Point-Patch-Button (see the image.)"
They dont form a patch because rule 2 isn't fullfilled. They are created from only one spline.
*Fuchur*
The one exeption is a 5-point patch can be one spline since it has an option to turn it into a patch or leave it as is.
Why not implement a button to make any amount of cps a patch instead of just five?? Funny number
-
Thanks guys for your help but it just doesnt make sense to me. When I try to start making a model theres always a hole and I dont understand how to patch it.
See the picture of a cube i tryed to make. Why isnt there a patch?
-
Ok thanks for your help but why dont the 3 and 4 points make a patch. See picture:
-
There are some great ones out there! For a start, check out my comic-book-style basic tutorial pages here. They cover some of the basics of modeling in A:M including continuity and the difference between a patch and a hole.
Thats very helpful. So only the extrude mode can make a patch I Get It (y) thanks
Great guide btw love the layout

Hi there,
I've decided to give A:M anouther go after several years of it sitting on my self. I used to love animating but could never understand how modelling worked in the program.
I completed most of the tutorials in the A:M book (Giraffe,plane etc) but always hit the same problems when modelling. I remember now this is why I left A:M for such a long time. However such great work was being completed in the community.
The concept I could never understand has how to fill in the space between control points as it always seemed hit and miss to me. See the quick test model I made below. Why don't the open control points 'Fill' to make it gray. Is there a button I need to press?
Could someone help me?
Is there any tutorials that would help me grasp this concept be it free or priced.
-
I've re-rendered the pose and rotated the camera to show the silhouette.
-
I remember checking these forums day after day looking for new tutorials and user created content.
I always wanted to create my own movie or a semi-realistic still render. Now that i'm older I thought that I might give A:M another try. So what better way to start and learn the basics by creating a pose.
I made mine with the character 'Kee-Kat' as I didnt want to complete the tutorial exactly the same again.
What do you think?? Its supposed to be a 'point nd laugh' kinda pose.
-
Very nice

Hi there,
I have experienced this problem once or twice and I just wondered if you could point me in the right direction.
When i open animation master sometimes i get these bold lines. Its hard to describe so i have attached a screen shot below:

These are fantastic, love the assignments. Wish these had been around when I first got A:M.
