    Motion Blur

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    I DO :) and love the result :) I was complaining about VUE not A:M (does the work quite well..se the first reender with multipass, on a high speed logo ), but the reply

    This produces nice smooth blur, but doesn't handle overlapping objects/transparency/shadows properly.
    got me wondering... can this be true ?? I never had any problems with the above but then I'm just a beginner in A:M to :)

     

    Thank you for the reply...

    Motion Blur

    in (2003-2004)

    Depends on the speed of movement (the length of the moblur trail) too. Dunno what technology AM are using, but my guess is that it's a 2D post effect. This produces nice smooth blur, but doesn't handle overlapping objects/transparency/shadows properly.

     

    From what I see, AM is indeed using 2D motion blur. This is typically visible in your last image where you see lines appear in the motion blur that really shouldn't be there.

    Vue Pro has a similar technique called Hybrid 2.5D motion blur. It's a little more advanced in that you won't get the lines showing off so badly.

     

    This was a reply I got from the VUE site when I complained about how noicy my reenderings was compared to A:M ... well on my FIRST REENDERING I was using multi-pass reendering, and on my SECOND REENDERING I was using Stanard Final reendering on my high speed LOGO.

     

    To be honest the "tone" in the reply suggested that A:M was using some sort of cheap, 2D - render engine,... and that ticked me a little bit off (I LOVE A:M!!) ;) .. Could I get some answers in tecnical language from sombody that knows A:M ?? :unsure:

     

    Anyway ... there should be increasing orders of A:M from norway as my LOGOS are flying round ... as in this latest BIG WIP(25Mb) (Reendered in VUE 5 and A:M, modelled in A:M )

     

     

    Have a nice day everybody ..

     

    EDITED: And as A:M got 10 points(Features 10, and value for money 10) in 3D World in the same issue VUE 5 got 9 (7 in features and 9 value for money) :P

    Error (15) Dongle not found

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    My guess is that HASH new Spam filter is locking me out I've sendt 2 postings (From different email accounts) about this problem but no replay from HASH..

     

    There should maiby bee a POSTING page for support issues also ?

     

    Well if anybody from hash is reading this heres what I've done.:

     

    1. Installed the dongle, MS XP told me it found it, and the dongle starts to lit.

    2. downloaded NET2004.exe, executed it and NET A:M installed itself.

    3. Tried to start A:M but after about 10 seconds I get the "Dongle not found (15)" error.

     

    Please advice :)

     

    Cheers

    A:M Technical Reference

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    since many people would rather consult the online version which is free.

     

    Well I tend to take your excellent book wherever I go (and I actually read it too :) ) Difficult to take the online version into bed (Yes I do sleep :D), and eh.. to the toilet (spending some time there too :blink: ) It is great learning A:M without having to surf numerous sites, search, print, having a laptop ... Well done !! and Thank you for (in my opinion) filling in the gaps in a great product

     

    PS: Why does the spellcheck give me an error on the word "A:M" ??

    Reendering with Alpha

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    Hi ,

     

    Thank you for your support :D

     

    @Simon, The book was just an example, I have in fact that kind of transition (Comes with Liquid Edition Pro/HollywoodFX)

     

    Now it is clear to me how Alpha work, if I where to use a "book" transition, I would just Use green/blue (or whatever) color on the geometry, and key that out in LE (making it transparent) :)

     

    To all that has replied , thank you wery mutch :)

     

    Best regards

    Reendering with Alpha

    in (2003-2004)

    I don't quite understand your second question.

     

    Say I want to make a Wedding transition, A model of a book turns a page , there are video on the first page, and a other video on the second page.

     

    A other company will supply the video in their NLE, I will make the transition.

     

    I would like to belive that if I made part of a model Black that part would be an Alpha channel but it is not .

     

    this example is rendered with alpha channel ON

    render3.jpg

     

    But when I take it into my Pinnacle NLE the square in the middle is black, not transparent (Alpha channel) as I would expect.

    render4.jpg

     

    I can ofcourse make it green or blue and use a Key-filter in the NLE, but other colors of green and blue would then become transparent also..

     

    I know I can make all this happen in A:M, but what if I want to make transitions for others :) that can me used with a variety of different video clips :)

     

    An video example

     

    Cheers Tor-Bjarne

    Reendering with Alpha

    in (2003-2004)

    Hi,

     

    I'm trying to render some splines with "Render as Lines" switched on, and I also applying glow to this model.

     

    BUT I'm having some problems.

     

    1: If i have the Alpha buffer switched OFF I'm getting a glow result, as shown in the first picture.

    render1.jpg

     

    2. If I switch the Alpha buffer option ON, I'm getting the Non-Glow result as shown in the second picture.

    render2.jpg

     

    WHY???

     

    And also ... how do I use the Alpha buffer in an model, say I want to model a book, and part of one page (a picture) is Alpha ?? So I can composite some video on it later with my Pinnacle NLE ??

     

    Cindly regards

    Hi,

     

    probably been asked before, but can we use the models supplied with A:M ?

     

    Say I want to make a 6 second intro/vignette using KeeKat or eddie, and maybe it is commercial ?

     

    I don't remember reading anything about this :)

     

     

    Cheers
