I dont think its alpha channels, it sounds like you need to change the images key colour. It's default is black so just change it to something not in your image map

This looks great! but I personaly would change the sky image, it looks like a photoshop "render clouds" filter. other than that though, nice colors,textures and overall great feel!

I have no knowledge of curvey, but to be honest - as others have said, what you will get out of AM is something totaly more useable, in terms of animation etc. But as with any software you will have to devote some time to learn it.

I'd just like to add my tuppence to this thread by saying that I had never really got on with polygon modlers or modeling in general till I played with those lovely hash patches! - they took a little while to make sense, but they feel like second nature now. I would recomend getting a book like david rogers 2002 guide, and download the tutorial vids too
happy hasher - nixie

You have certainly captured the essence of dog and master! I love the way the little chappy follows after his master; I can imagine him sulking and pineing in the frames that would follow!

Hi, I have just purchased skycast and am playing with the demo, but after I create the acttion file (which i name".act") it wont let me load it into AM. says its an invalid action file?!
Is this just a problem with the demo or am i doing something wrong? I guess i should have payed after trying the demo as opposed to before! Regards - Nixie

Geez louise and holy smokes! *how* do you do it! - what do you have planned for him and his comrades which you mention?
superb as always

just ordered it for my cube!
looks pretty good

Yeah i get that too, like il press undo to undo something i literally JUST did wrong, like 1 drag ago (?) but am always seperates each click as an undo level, so selecting etc. the frame rate of the recording sofware was pretty slow so maybe it missed a few undos?

sounds like a good idea, I think you should parody some great war films - like saving private ryan or scenes from action movies,
any pictures you can show us?

oh and heres a mutipass - He wasnt too happy in the cage so he kicked the door down!
Is there a way of getting render as lines to render shaded?Thanks hash crew!

just thought I'd update with a little pic, I could really do with some help on rigging and lighting. Anyone know of some useful tutorials on rigging from scratch? ( whats the difference between FK & IK) also good lighting tutes would be much apriciated. - I tried the skylight tute on Yves'site but just got confused!
so anyway heres the scene so far!

puts me in mind of ubi softs kinda stuff, great modal, looking forward to more!

Totally awesome! the whole thing is really very good, but why do the duckies stop squeaking so abrubptly? it might be better if they faded out just slightly (I know it's probably a little late now) but some very impressive camerawork too and the flash fade was nicely timed
- well done that man!

love the skin textures on your creature, keep updating, it's nice to see something a bit dark and mysterious. Hows the ship coming along I can see that looking great wrecked at the bottom of a murky ocean.

looks v cool, u could have more than someones eye out with that!
-
thats really well done, i like the soft look of it, and that mushroom looks very inviting, it's been snowing here, so a nice snug mushroom's just what I need right now! thanks for sharing

Lol;
That explains the rather large grin, but whats he pointing at?!
-
and i clicked Add reply once and look what happened! whats goin on?
-
same here!
-
Genius! :lol: bags of character and a bundle of laughs, I really cant wait to see this project completed! V Impressed!
-
good question, I was thinking the very same thing! such a challenge, but the results are truly amazing! awe inspiring stuff!

I have rigged my budgie (if somewhat shoddily!) I didnt use fan bones and smartskins which I hear can remove the troubles of extreme creasing - also his left eye has messed itself up a little but im not really too bothered about this; prob just needs re-texturing. thanks people and Will, I tried v11 alpha and feathers but didnt think they looked appropriate for him, render times were extreme too! I even made quick phenomes and made a quick animation actually very proud of what ive achieved in such a short time - a credit to AM I guess! thanks everyone!

yeah you need to do a bump and specularity tute! I understand bump mapping, but have never really used it effectively. And specularity, I can see the need for it but I dont use it because im scared! Oh and if you ever feel super generous, with a little time to spare, a 'speedy head'modaling tute would be cool (if asking a little too much!
awesome - want to see more!
