I'm going to attempt my second real animation. It's going to have a story this time, one about a doodle of a stick figure. But before I do anything elese I need to model a stick figure (shouldn't be be too hard). Oh, and how do I take pictures of my models and everything so I can post them on the forum? Sincerly, Masna

I'm happy to announce it is complete, and it was a success! But how do I post it on the forum? It doesn't work on as an AVI. Thanks you for your help everyone!

Oh, and don't forget the sombreros! Gotta love the sombreros.

Hey, Thanks alot for the instructions John, they worked perfectly. But I just have tone more question, how do you repeat the camera path cycle? Thanks for all your help! Oh and also when you render the image how do you save it from there, and how do you render it wireframe and bone mode?

I think that shot looks AMAZING!

Hi, I'm starting to get the hang of A:M so i thought i'd go ahead and make my first model. I decided to make a dancing mexican cactus (why, I don't know). I've finished the model and a continueous dancing action. I downloaded a La cucaracha MP3 and then I started a new choreography. I decided to make the camera spin around the cactus while it dances, but I'm having some trouble with that. I made a path consraint to the path and made another aim at constraint from the camera to the cactus. But whenever I play it the camera stays in its default position and on the last frame appears on the path even though my enforcement is at 100%. Lastly how to I take pictures of my model and post it attached to a forum? Can anyone help me? Thanks for your time

I've had problems with the terrain plugin before, but now whenever I use it at all my computer comletely crashes! Is it something wrong with my computer or just the program? Can anyone help me?

I was making an animation when I accidently clicked on the project workspace, I dont know what folder I clicked but now all my constraints are gone. I searched through folder after folder, but I can't seem to find the constraints. Can anyone help me?

I found that its not the wheather thats the problem , its the step width and the step height, does anyone know what they do? P.S. Does anyone have any links to terrain tutorials?

A:M terraform says its built for A:M 11.0 does that mean i can use it with A:M 13.0 as well?

Im using version 13.0

I was going to rotate a bone on the x-axis when i realized my bone was off axis. How do I fix this?

thanks for the mechadelphia link Caroline (this guys amazing)

John, the terrain plugin works great until i tried applying wheather. However, whenever I use wheather animation master crashes and says animation master will now close. Do you know why this happens?

Thanks for the help everyone, it's alot to get my mind around but i'm sure that i'll figure it out.

How exactly would you go about making landscapes? Do you create a grid, manipulate that grid, and place it on top of the ground? Or can you manipulate the ground in a choreography? If anyone could give me some tips that would be great.

What I mean is, if i have two bones for legs, a spine, two bones for arms, and I want to put a null on the waist so the waist can be rotated moved etc. where would the null be placed on that hiararchy.

I'm currently making a new character (my first one ever) and I need help assigning nulls on the bone hiararchy. Can anyone help me?

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Hey, this is a very "newbie" question, but does anyone know how to change the color or texture of the ground in a choreography? I've tried making grids with control points and then modeling a land scape from that but it doesnt work very well. If anyone could give me any advice or tips that would be great. Masna

Thanks! that helps a lot!

Thanks!

When adding bones how do you bound a bone to another bone so it will stay attached to the when you move it?

In the A.M. manual it talks about auto-assign. How do you use auto-assign and what toolbar is it on.

Thanks! I appreciate it!
