  1. I have a scene in the shower. This will be composite shot. The character is hand drawn but I need to have an effect of water droplets coming down and off the body. for shower effect I will be using robcat2075 shower spray.

     

    But I need to make the water droplets on the body. I have made a model of the image for the effect. Any idea’s??

    Also dose any one have a shower head with a coord?

  2. Nine tens of the law is possessions. If they did not keep a copy of the files it is there tuff luck. There may be some copy right issues if you tried to sell them to a third party. But this is not the case. And if their lawyers try to threaten you tell them your computer is having amnesia.

     

    It's unlikely any favors you do them now will result in favorable consideration later so you might as well charge them for any involvement you have now.

    This is the most likely case.

     

    You may what to start with a high number. Or you can do what my brother dose. Start with a number and go up when they try to lower the number. Ya my brother is a total dick but I works more time than not.

     

    good luck:)

  3. Hey Daniel, can you post some pics of your setup and maybe some stuff you make? I find this whole technology really incredible, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I had the time and space for it.

    Here one to check out. B)

    I don’t know if it include everything you need but the filament but starting at 550$ you can’t beat the price.

    You will need to assemble it yourself. It comes in a kit.

    For space your on your own. But they are not to big. Mine is sitting on a milk crate in my bed room. Since I needed the computer to run it.

  4. Do you have the MK7 or are you still using the mk6.

    I believe I am still on MK6. I got my Makerbot Thing-O-Matic pretty early so I have the DC version

    I think that is the MK5. The MK6 has the high torque stepper motor. I have both the MK6 and a MK7. I am still using the MK6 until the 3mm filament runs out. But I plan on getting a second MK7 so I can us the support option. :)

     

    Did you ever put on one of the changeable plat form carriages so you can use the ABP and HBP?

  5. This maybe a good area for AM to expand into since it is good at organic design and the home market for 3D printers is expanding. The lower end 3D printers may still be expensive but as in the old text printers they where expensive at one time.

     

    P.S. The model do not have to have all the part connected. It depends on how the 3D printer works. Most can print separate parts even if they are interlocked. If they use a support material they should be able to print interlocking objects. Just make sure there is some space between the parts.

     

    Objects should be closed but some stl converters can compensate for small gaps. But it is a good rule to follow. :)

     

    It is Nice having a 3D printer. :) even if it is made out of wood.

  6. It still do not work.

     

    I'm not sure what you want yet... do you want the object to be invisible but still leave a shadow?

     

    Sorry about the delay

     

    Yes that is exactly what I need.

     

    I need to merge a hand drawn animation into the background. And I need to add the shadows. But the light seems to be giving me a hard time.

  7. the 'shadow only' option in the objects property window

     

    do that

    I did.

    I must have hit one of the lights before rendering. The second image dose have the 'shadow only' option on.

  8. Casting shadow but not seeing the object.

    I need to make an object cast a shadow but it need to be invisible. I did it in the past for composite scene but I am overlooking something.

  9. Need more information...

     

    Are you rendering out this Decal in a Choreography, Action or Model window?

     

    It was happening in all the windows.

     

    After testing with some other formats (TGA and jpeg) in the image section it became apparent A:M has a problem with (PNG files colors) I will add it to the report section.

  10. There are many similar engines made by other companies around the world. But this one is a GE 44-ton switcher from North America.

     

    This is something I do on the side. If I run a render or after working on my project for a long time I work these as a break. I do have some other train cars and engines in varies stages on completion.

  11. For the 64bit version is nothing to do, it uses out of the box all available memory if it is needed.

    Looks like Your project doesn't need more than 4 GB.

    I think you guys are right it only needed 4 GB. I think the problem I have is something to do with the hair system.

    It seems to stall when it gets to forth or fifth model that has hair set on it. On my old computer it would freeze or crash at that point.
