An exercise trying to apply the principles of the animation

[Magpie pro...]

... It doesn't seem that you could use AM models as 3-D actors in magpie, so... anyway, I draw a blank at that point.

 

You can use a facial poses prerendered in A:M instead the graphics by defaults of Magpie Pro.

[Magpie pro...]

Copy/paste from: http://www.thirdwishsoftware.com/magpiepro...rt_formats.html

 

Exports an action file that can be imported into a Hash Animation Master project. Pose sliders in the Animation Master project must match the Magpie Pro actor pose names.

 

Note: recent versions of Animation Master replaced action files with a newer file format, but they continue to import the older action files.

[Plug-In]

Tip:

 

Configure the rendering options like this:

 

- Quality: Shaded

 

- Show Back Facing Polys: OFF

 

The model will show the inverted faces like holes.

 

[Plug-In]

You must to flip the inverted normals before exporting.

[Plug-In]

A:M includes a good built-in .3ds exporter.

[I return to the basics....]

Hi Ernesto!

 

If your project won't load or crashes, try opening the file in a text editor (notepad p.e.) and deleting everything between [WINDOWPLACEMENTS] and [ENDWINDOWSPLACEMENTS]. (as seen on "Animation:Master" 2002 A Complete Guide" by David Rogers)

 

I hope that it works.

 

See you in the Cole3d

[New CD data?]

The Jeff Lew's models (greendude and yellowdude) may be interesting, their rigs are a very good alternative for study.

I would like to see in the CD the Yves Poisant's skylights (updated), a offline version of The JSL Skylight Rig Utility of Jeff Lee and more free and demo plugins (Emilio Le Roux, Steffen Gross, Simbiont, Marcel Bricman, Anzovin, Artbox, Walasek, etc. with their respective tutorials, of course).

[My ET Character]

I like it, a character with a lot personality.

[TSM2 Modeling Contest. Valuable Prizes $$$!!!]

[Found an AM to DirectX converter]

Using Animation Master to Model and Animate for 3D Games by Frank Silas

[grass test AM V11a]

Looks great. Can you put the render times?

 

Some test with forces (wind) and dinamics?

[Help with Pose Slider]

Hi Rogelio,

In the user properties of the model (Project Workspace>objet folder>your model), click on the pose and delete it. That´s all!

 

The User Properties is the final item of the list.

 

example:

 

Model1

 

Bone Position

Transform

File info

Surface

Options

User Properties>Pose1

 

Good luck!

[Cooper Tutorials translated to Spanish , Japanese]

I would like to thank you for the most complete Character modeling online tutorial, IMHO, for A:M. I'm a Cole3d.net member and another spanish forums (www.foro3d.com of the 3d site: 3dpoder.com and others) where I proposed to a fellow to translate the "Cooper Tutorials" like a very useful contribution to the A:M spanish speaking community. Cole3d.net has translated to spanish a lot of A:M material (tutorials, manuals and general documentation about the program and features) by permission of Hash Inc. however we would like to thank you about your permission for the translations.

 

The updated link is: http://www.cole3d.net/curso/frintro.htm

 

The "Cooper tutorials" was translated by Daniel Brites Rodríguez and Iara Brites Mackluf (his daughter)

Thanks for the answer, Yves. I will hope patiently.

[Poissant's Materials & turbulences]

Hi,

 

My question is: I can to use the turbulence and materials available in the Downloads page of Yves Poissant's site in A:M 10.5 versions? or only in v.8.5?
