OK whats TSM2, where can it be found?

Thanks for the replies, It seemed the more I worked with it the more bones started to appear. I will compare it to a rig with Thom model and see it have created a Borg or something. LOL

Hi again all, Been putting bones in my model, (tut. on backbone ) then did the 'new action for a split screen: he crossed is legs. Did he come to life or something? Any way looks like somethings are missing or other things have appeared. I used the rigging that is with AM then added fingers and toes, eyes and tongue. I know this isn't the best model to work with but it is my first try.

To all those that helped me with my other question, THANKS~~~~~~ here is what I got to work. First I took my video and converted it in QT to TGA sequence Image Sequence format: TGA FPS: 30 Then opened AM New Project New Choreography Went to Images Images Import Animation/Image Sequence find files ( just saved from QT ) Click the first Image in the sequence ( it will import all the rest ) Open Then 'Short cut to Camera 1' right click New Rotoscope Select Image At this point the video should appear in the chor. window Go to the play button and click it and my video played Yea!!!! God bless America it worked. Then I went to 'Shortcut to Ground' down to 'Options' in properties window 'Front Project Target' turn on! Now the fun part how to place my character into the video and animate! Again thanks for all the advice and help getting me into the right direction. Wally

Thanks for the help guys, I have already tried the tut of boy walking across road and down sidewalk. No luck. Sometimes my poor sad ole' brain doesn't quite understand what I read, I seem to do much better with visual things. I don't tend to give up easily so the battle will continue till the mountain has been crossed. "spline on young ones"

Hi All, Newbies and experts, I am using subscription v15.0c on a iMac G4 and would love to place my character into my Granddaughters home video. The video is 320x240 and a QuickTime movie. (very small) about 9 seconds long. I have had some advice and found very few tutorial helps on the net yet, none of them seem to get the video to play or even appear as a Rotoscope in the choreography window. I also have searched through the online manual and not found anything to help. Does anyone have a step by step tutorial on how to get me started. Any and ALL help would be deeply appreciated.

Ok, just clicking around this morning and apparently the .atx files work in relation with 'materials' So another question, what is the process for importing a home video and placing my character into the movie, for example some of the movies out now and tv commercials. The files are QuickTime and avi I have seen many of them done on the web but need a starting place. By the way thanks to all for all the help that this forum provides.

Hi all, I have the subscription program and in my textures folder there are .atx files and am unable to open them, so do I need to get a special plugin for them or what? the error message says invalid file type or plugin missing. Where can I get the plugin needed? Thanks

Ok been working a lot of the tutorials off the web site and even purchased the training videos form 2005, have a problem. A lot of the keyboard shortcuts don't seem to apply to the new version 15.0c So my question since I don't have the hard copy of the manual, just the .pdf from the web site where can I find a list of the newest shortcuts. It seems to me that the shortcuts are the key to most of the modeling which is what i want to learn, gotta have a character before you can make it move!
