  1. David --

    Welcome to the forums and congratulations on completing your first project. Indeed , that is an ambitious start but you pulled it off and for a first effort with no 3d experience you did very well indeed. Smiles .

     

    Good luck with your second project and do not be a stranger here in the forums ....we welcome lots of participation here and I have to say its a very user friendly bunch here for beginners .

  2. Simon------ for a first project -----very nice indeed. I mean some of the animation you show in this is pretty cool. There are a fair number of very natural looking motions. So ----Im impressed .

  3. smiles ----thekamps pretty cool shivering.

     

    I see now how it (contests) would work.....well four hours seems a pretty decent amount of time depending on the project. What would be kind of nice is a sort of schedule perhaps of contest ie june its animating something, July its rigging , August its lighting etc ...so that we could prepare or tweak our skills or even learn them before the contest --right now if there was a rigging contest for example I would need 4 days ...smiles

  4. I think a monthly or three week contest would be very beneficial and helpful to lots of folks especially if the themes are changed up and diverse so participants can gain ground over a number of topics. There is no better way to learn than doing. Well it might be the only way. Smiles .

     

    I am not sure maybe twice a month might be pushing things -it really depends on the contest . Like if the contest was make three cool materials well maybe two weeks is good. But if its animate two characters break dancing maybe two years is better. Lol. (kidding but you get the idea.)

  5. I think sebastian has a good point on the sound file needing to be same. but otherwise I think its fun idea ...and as David said above --its an animation contest ----so make it easy on yourself --heck its hard enough just doing the animation ...smiles

  6. Rich---

    First off you made much improvements with this version, but Sebastian has a lot of good comments that i would agree with. But still keep the thing as much how you like as well......I think if you try some of the suggestion on tempo and length of scene you may develop a slightly different style and find that what you thought was cool maybe was not so much----happens to me all the time. smiles.

  7. Simon -----now with adobe cloud based subscription inniatives -----you can get one adobe product ie AE for a one year subscription at 19.99 a month as long as you commit for one year. I know a lot of folks are not happy with the subscription deal but we are kind of used to it here. Smiles just in case you did not know. Your project is coming along nicely.

  8. I had let my version 16 expire back in november and had to use my version 12 cd version these past few months . So I had forgotten how nice 16 was. Today I finally got version 17 and have to say --wow its so much nicer than 12 --by light years. ANd renders seem faster than 16 .

     

    The render speed seems very fast indeed.

     

    My only thoughts for anyone with 12 or older for sure ....just toss that aside and upgrade asap ----you will be very happy indeed . Its AM yummyiness.

     

    Nice job developer(s). Smiles . Now on to having some fun.

  9. Yes , you can link it to just a credit card --if you wish to keep your bank data safer. Then whenever you wish to pay via paypal ---you can use your paypal amounts to pay for stuff and they will only involve your credit card if you pay something above your paypal balance.

    I use paypal in this way and have had no issues .

  10. Well , also looks like is involved with Hubmedia --so it just might be his real life has become very busy . Who knows --------so many people return to AM after a prolonged absence ---maybe even Vern will one day show up again.

  11. Welcome back Tore-------- Its such a testiment to what is the charms of Animation Master that we see folks return to dable in it once again time and time again. Good luck on your AM project -----Looking forward to seeing your first glimpse you show us. Smiles
