Well hey All. I am Dave and I live in New York City. I am currently trying to come down off of 16 months deployment with the Army Reserve in Northern Iraq as Truck Mechanic/Combat Recovery/ Avid Media Composer instructor (really, check the pic).
I have worked in Broadcasting for the last 22 years in one way or another. The vast majority of it as a freelance Non-linear video editor. The job sickened me at the onset of reality TV so I went for the techy end of it in the last 5 years.
Right now I work at Fuse and MSG-NY (a word of advice turn down your audio if you click this link, And I am not a 33 year old woman).
Currently studying business administration so I can start and run my own business, then let it earn some income while I take editing jobs that I want to do. Reality TV need not apply.
also trying to learn A:M because A) I always wanted to animate but can't draw. and I promised my wife I would do a rendition of her fathers WWII story. It involves a wooden Minesweeper, a Typhoon and a deserted Pacific Island just after the battle of Okinawa.
So there I was in the middle of the war and the only AVID edit system in Iraq finds me! I taught them many things on that machine many things......and they listened to none of it LOL. So far I have skipped the Tute's and started making my own C172. It's a model of the one learned to fly in. I must admit though I did toy with the program long ago but never did anything with it.

Well, shoot, I just got back from Iraq and I ain't got no CD with Oz characters on it? But I did take my disk with the witch and the kitty and the rag doll out of the wrapper finally.
Upgrade is on the way too.

Okay, here is the stuff. I have rotoscoped this image and then applied a decal of the same image.
I believe you can see wht I a gong for here. An image of a contour map from a book and then I want to render out a 3D represntation from the map image.
I don't have a problem applying the image as a decal when this is just a 4 CP box, but once I trace the contours the decal is gone and it won't let me reapply it.
I can postition the decal and when I press apply it is gone. It shows up in the project workspace but it does not do any realtime rendering.
What I was hoping to do is what the ground model does that came with my CD. I did try making a grid type of model/CP and that worked out fine, but this contoured thing doesn't seem to want to take.

When you render it, does it show up? If so, then it is a realtime rendering problem...you can set it to OpenGL or DirectX in the "Options" menu.
Hope that helps.
Hmm, I havent even tried rendering it except for pressing the 9 key and hoping to see it while I manipulate the CP's.

It seems like such an easy thing considering i have already made myself a nice rendition of a small airlane.
Now I have been tasked with producing some teaching aids for a map reading course and I was simply taking a contour map image of a hill, rotorscoping it, then applying what I rotoscoped as a decal.
Well it doesn't seem to like that. I did a test with a photo just for practice and it worked fine. But now that I am trying to actually do what I thought I could, no luck. The decal just disappears.
I am using A:M 11.1

Thanks! Right now I am getting involved in some contour map to 3D animation for a Land Navigation class. Next is the research for the models. Fun stuff really.
