  1. I did some experimentation a while back by applying a material with a base color and set to be slightly translucent on a character's head then applied a color map set to something less than 100 percent. I got a lot of artifacts that weren't pretty.

     

    The best method I've seen so far was the one Soulcage did.

  2. I may be the only one with the problem, but the page doesn't completely display in Mozilla...I could see it using Internet Explorer though. I haven't bothered to get the latest version of Mozilla, so it may just be me. Just a possible heads-up.

  3. Has anyone else had a problem with hair covering an entire five point patch?

     

    Here's an example of a five point patch with stubble on it to illustrate. All I did was make a single valid five point patch, made a hair material by selecting "New Material", selecting "Change Type To/Particle System/Hair", changed the length to "0.4 inches", setting the density to "40", the thickness to "0.04 inches" and the color to black. Then I applied the material to the patch.

     

    Three and four point patches work perfectly, so do hooks.

     

    I'm working with:

     

    AM v11.0g

    AMD 2000+

    ECS K7S5A motherboard

    512 meg RAM

    NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 video card

    WinXP Pro Service Pack 1

     

    It could be just me...if it is, could somebody point me in the direction of a cure? Thanks in advance.

  4. Well, it's fantastic for right now...but five years? Anything you buy now is going to feel clunky in five years. I generally upgrade every two to three years if I'm able, that's about how long it takes for me to feel like I'm using an antique.

  5. I don't know if it has changed in version 11, but, in 10.5 I just highlight the name of the object in the Project Workspace, go into the "Users Properties", right mouse click over the pose and select "delete". That would get rid of the slider, then I go into the "Users Properties Relationships" folder and delete the corresponding folder by right mouse clicking over it and choosing "delete". Unless I'm misunderstanding you, if that's the case ignore me.

  6. I read everything from the mailing list...the only reasons I go to the forum are to respond to a post or view an image. I think if someone edits one of their posts you won't get the edits sent to you.

  7. Okay, maybe I'm being silly here, but....what is pictured on the CD of AM that you are loading (Petey and Jaydee, Perk, Orangutan)? If it's not that kind of thing, I'm thinking it's a video driver problem...I had a similar thing happen to me when running Win98 before I upgraded my drivers and installed the latest DirectX.

     

    Oh, another thing that I thought of is that Win98 first edition won't run correctly on a processor faster than 2.2 Ghz without a patch...I can't remember if 98SE had the same problem or not. There are also some other IDE/processor setups that require a patch...have you downloaded and installed all applicable patches?

     

    A friend of mine got a stick of RAM that his motherboard didn't like that gave him similar problems whenever he did something graphically intense (the RAM worked fine in another computer).

     

    Lots of possibilities unfortunately.

  8. It could be part of a series of RAR files...they usually have one file that starts the group off with the extension RAR or EXE and the rest of the files that I've seen have an extension that starts with the first letter of the name of the file and then 01, 02, etc.

  9. Sure. Photoshop is an excellent word processor, too.

     

    I don't even see how it's possible. Photoshop can make text documents, it's just heavily impractical.

     

     

    Sarcasm doesn't work too well in a forum or e-mail...and I'm positive that's what that was.

  10. The AM community window will only work for me if I make Internet Explorer my default web browser. If I try to log in or create an account with Mozilla (my preferred browser) as the default, it just won't work. Hope this helps.
