[Image question from a newbie wanting to purchase]

I'ld also suggest looking up "Learning to Animate with Jeff Lew" He has 3 Informational dvds you can order. They're set up in such a way that they could work for any 3d program, but the program he uses for the dvds is A:M 2003. I've been finding them very helpful.

Thanks. Yeah, AM is the first animation program I've ever used and I'm loving it.

I figured I would post this to show, I've working on walks, and doing some jumps, i decided to see if I could make a character just stand there and be believable as opposed to the static frozen pose. I've had AM for a week and half.

I'ld to sign up here. I've had my copy of AM for about a week now and I'm loving it, working my way through the TOA.

 

I got a bit side tracked with the walking tutorial, it's just too much fun just animating the different characters walking and experimenting with walking.

awesome, thank you.

[HURRAY]

I just got my copy a couple days ago, and I can promise you it is alot of fun.

[A quesiton on hopping]

I've been practicing the walk cycle, and then I decided to try making a hop cycle for rabbit, but can anybody give me a idea of how I would set up the stride length for a hop, or how I would gauge it correctly? I've been experimenting, and I've gotten the animation action to look good, but the stride length is somewhat hard to gauge what I need to base it on. I keep seeming to end up with rabbit either hopping way too fast across the screen when I set up the choreography of it, or if I slow it down, every time he lands he slides forward a bit.

[saying hi with some questions]

Wanted to say hi. So um... Hi.

 

Also, I was thinking of picking up AM. It really is very impressive. I had just a question. I'm running a 1.6g antholon with 1g ram, with a geforce fx 5200. does that stack up as a decent machine to run AM, or should I look to upgrade? I understand the Minimum requirments for the system that are listed in the program info, but I was just curious what those of you who use it regularly would suggest is an ideal pc config.
