This looks marvellous. Bravo. However, I do not see any WIP videos on the website. -Joe.

oops. I've been bad about checking into the forum. I would have come if I read it. Let me know about the next one. Joe.

I'll be there. Joe.

Thanks. By the way, who did the spec commercial?

Sounds like I missed a good one, and am especially bummed about the bagels, pizza and chocolate. Oh well, when's the next one?

Oops, I was just checking in to what time the meeting started tommorrow on "Sunday", when I realized that the meeting was today (Saturday). I must have read it wrong last time. Bummer. What'd I miss! Joe.

Perhaps the greatest thing ever created with Animation Master. Congratulations. Joe.

Hi Mike, I'd like to come. Joe

Hi, What's AO and IBL? Animas

All right. Look forward to meeting you all. Joe.

Saturday noon could work. Joe.

Hi there folks. I would be interested in attending New York Hash user group meetings as well as a friend of mine. I live in Manhattan and he lives in Brooklyn. Has a date, time and place been decided upon yet? Joe.

Nosferatu, Sorry for the delay, but the album is called "Chester and Lester/Guitar Monsters" The name of the track is It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing by Duke Ellington

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them. Martin - Thanks for showing it at Siggraph. Now I can tell people that my film played at Siggraph! I am consistantly awed by Animation Master. You've cut through the clutter of other 3D applications and made a great tool. From where I stand, there is no other application I would rather use. Bless you, and thanks for the honor of airing it at the Siggraph Party. Nancy - Thanks. It definately takes place in New York City, my home town. By the way, Your stuff is really coming together nicely. Love the cat and mouse musical number, and the tinman picture from the contest (on the home page) is very imaginative. You've definately developing a unique and cool style all your own. John - thanks for the words. I'm definately still just beginning to get animation to where I would like it to be. Nos - that music (on the reel) is a duet by two great guitar legends Chet Atkins and Les Paul. Thanks to all others. Joe.

Hello fellow Hashers, Just put my film up on A:M films. It's called Art Appreciation. I hope you guys enjoy it and it's a worthy enough contribution to all the insanely great and inspirational work this community makes. Long live Animation Master. Joe.

Crazy great, man. Love that zipper and them seamed legs.

Victor, Very nice. Have you devised your own rig for animation, or do you use an available rigging technique. Thanks.

This is freakin' awesome.

John, Love that car. Funky, but chic. I think you have a natural talent for art direction that comes through nicely. Regarding the above statement, where would you, for instance, put this bone that controls the x y and z axis smartskin. Within the face? In the jaw? Outside of the model? I look forward to reading any notes you may compile on this. All the best, Joe

John, Really nice work on all your stuff. I am looking forward to seeing your project develop. I am also very interested in your technique for facial animation. In the past, when doing some facial animation in version 9, I would make a separate pose for each phenome such as "A", "O", "E", etc. As well as one for smile, frown, etc. Could you or someone else explain your technique a little more deeply? How to set up this kind of system? What do you mean that a single smartskin can easily encompass 3 pose sliders? Keep up the good work. Joe.
