AM is not the only software that is not (shall we say current )
I have more apps then most and only recently they are catching up ( mostly on the plug end side )
one such plugin took about 14 moths to go 64 bit so I duel booted to use it
and to be sure some are not ready for Maverick at all.
Now I'm using 10.6.8 on one drive and I did the Maverick upgrade from Lion just cause on the other
this keeps everything on an even plain and bouncing back and forth does have its advantages
1 it works, easy to set up and fast
2 your never out of touch or out of date ( you can take advantage of the new Mac apps )
3 allows Mac and developers to catch up and your not hit by it
4 you can try new stuff without F'n up your stuff ( thats a biggie )
5 you also have a nice backup if anything goes bad ( which it will)
bty my second drive only has a few apps compared to the first drive
look at it as a Beta drive the more it becomes stable you can migrate to it

coulpe of things
are you rendering from the camera ?
command P will set you up with that
see attachment
if using Quicktime
you can set your movie compression from animation to non ect.. do that using the set tab
just once 1 frame
sometimes you have to do a quick switch from one of those settings to kick it in the pants
also make sure you set the location
where it says file name and that should the setup box match when you hit the render button

16 works but .jpg won't render they show up in render window but can't find them any place
I tried saving to another disk but no luck
here is a screen shot showing render in progress
17 won't work tried the permission thing and reinstall no luck there
here is the log report

16.0 works on Maverick
i did a few tests everything works so far no issues with save or save as or filling in dialogue boxes
i will try something a bit more complicated
version 17 will not
I duel boot my mac so I can switch back and forth between upgrades
makes life easy

Heeeeeelp!!! What's happening here? The (tiled) decals on the building in the background of this shot jumps and jitters when rendered!!
Anybody experienced anything similar, and maybe even have a remedy?
yes i had a similar problem
in my case it was a bad patch and normals were not facing out
and i was unaware of any of this until i did a camera move like you are doing
and then the decal started to pop
bty
love this look

Hmmm... I'm not sure.
If you are correctly hitting the delete icon then it must be a setting that doesn't allow you to delete.
I'll investigate.
Don't forget that after deleting you have to resubmit the post but selecting 'Submit' or else whatever you did while editing won't stick.
Every thing you do in an edit is just instructions to be carried out until the post is submitted.
That must be it i did not see a change so I thought it was not working
Thank you

I put a new one in with better audio
how do I get rid of the old or if you could please do it for me
I removed the old video for you.
If something similar occurs in the future you should be able to remove an attachment via the dropdown dialogue that shows which attachments have been uploaded into the post. Thanks for the quick turnaround on the new video.
P.S. Excellent audio. You have a great tutorial voice.
thank you
bty
I did go to the drop down and selected the file
then I hit delete but nothing happened what am I missing ?
thanks again

Nicely done Jim!
There are so many things I need to take advantage of in A:M.
This is right up there in priority as it's a great way to create environmental effects that make events seem to take place in real space.
Thanks!
P.S. The volume was really low on the tut at my end and I increased the volume with another program.
If anyone has that same issue with volume let me know and I'll post that.
Thanks John ( I'll have to try your trick ), Thanks Rodney

Here's what I've been working on in my minimal spare time. Works been killing me.
real nice!

Oh it was a huge hit
First question was how I did it cause they thought I just took footage from someplace and did a comp
When I told them it was done one spline at a time (I had to use hands to explain that )
They just shook there heads
Of course I said all done in hash
Again ya had to see it
This is very impressive software
-
just wanted to share some shots from the "Secret Garden" ( sorry it's just a cell phone cam )
the train movie was a scene change going from India to Great Britain and arriving at the station
anyway it did look great, Hash is amazing!
I seriously doubt you can knock out something that good and fast with any other program
with just one guy ( me )
so again a BIG thanks to the Hash master for making an excellent program and sorry for the low rez shots
ya had to be there (:
That looks mighty impressive.
Did you get any feedback from the company or audience.
regards

Yep I tried the alpha on and off for movies
And it did not work that's how I ended up placing an image
I might try doing a different project to test the smoke
Note it dose show up in the quick render
J
Well when the rotoscope seems out of scale
This train started out like that so I just left it that way
Then it got me thinking I kinda just model then stretch to fit

Hi guys working on a train project
and I have 2 questions that maybe you can help with
first question smoke
when i export out as a jpg or tga I get smoke in the finale render ( test mov jpg has smoke)
when I export out as a movie I get no smoke however when I place an image such as the stars in the background I get my smoke
( test mov has smoke because of star png background )
is that normal for movie export or do i have to turn something on
2nd question models
do you guys mdl to scale
say something is 20 feet do you mdl 20 feet
I've been doing what feels comfortable is there a rule ?
thanks

Mark you really got it going on !
over in the IDW world
My little pony, Teenage Mutant Turtles and I see Popeye is featured as a classic
and of course Star Trek oh yeah and Transformers ( that one would keep you busy (: )
anyway your right on track just keep building those assets
-
thanks ill give it another go

Feels different
yep that about sums it up for me ( i too think it's a feel thing can't explain it )
I use both a PC and Mac at work and at home I have all macs (got 6 here) and gave 1 away they all work
bottom line if you like the machine your on then thats the one for you
-
excellent
thank you!

Well, spoke too soon. The tree prop comes in looking right, but doesn't render anywhere close to the same.
Still, the export saves a hi-rez png file with transparency, which is how I've been doing my trees lately anyway, so it's still a win.
Making trees in seconds is just amazing.
tried your tree on my mac
but it locks up on load used both version 16 and 17
any ideas
