    Posted

    Hi it s seems that the Stephen Gross Midiplugin does not longer work or i doing some thing wrong.I can download it in the prior section but it gave me an error message when i launch A:M. The other section give me a broken link. I ve tried the Wayback machine but i have the same result.

     

    Does some one have the plugin somewhere.

     

    Thank you all.

    Easy, at least I think, the sweeper plugin does that quite well.

    A few tweaks is all that are needed.

     

    Hope it helps

    Ha!! ha !! the roll option ! can you show me a situation, when you have a straight lline then a curve with a natural z roll (0 deg, 15 deg, 45deg, 90 deg,45 deg,15 deg, then back to 0 deg) ?

     

    Thank you Photoman .

    Waow!!! Thank you very much...

    I don't know how it is possible to work together. Any suggestion will be good.

    Maddle, you can found Gerry's and Nancy's mail on their website.

     

    Maddle, pour l'instant, je n'ai pas de changement à faire par rapport au PDF. Peut-être plus tard, rajouter une partie sur l'utilisation des hooks, et parler de quelques avantages à utiliser cette technique par rapport aux raccourcis de selection et pour ajouter des splines. Mais je n'ai pas encore pris le temps de mettre mon nez dedans. Si tu vois de ton coté des choses a rajouter, n'hésite pas. Merci pour ton travail.

     

     

    Malo , je n ais rien à ajouter ! :) point de vue modelisation je suis a l ouest :) (y a des trucs que je ne pige même pas) de toutes façons je t enverrais mes trads en premier lieu par contre je traduis d après le site francais de A:m , redonnes moi un lien sur ton PDF.

    Ok let s talk about something not so simple(at least with lightwave)

     

     

    I know the way A:M works and that it can offer some crazy tools for every kind of situations but what about this one ? i want to make a race track and i want every curve to bank on the Z axis (which is a bank).Is this possible ?

     

    In blender you can have a "hand" on the bank rotation axis before you extrude an object.

     

    Ideas around ?

     

    :huh:

    Maddle: If you or anyone are looking for a tutorial on modeling faces/whole characters in A:M -

     

    The Colin Tutorial is a good start - but does not create a spline layout that is the best for animating.

     

    The Malo Modeling Method Tutorial creates spline layouts that are excellent for animating, and he describes a generalized, logical method for A:M that can be used for just about anything. Wonderful! I highly recommend it, especially if you want to animate your characters, and have minimal splines.

     

    I believe Malo is a native french speaker. So sometimes the text, translated into English is a little confusing. But I could make sense out of everything just by the wonderful and complete pictures.

     

    The screen captures are excellent - so one doesn't have to read much text at all. Perhaps he has a version in french?

     

     

    thank you Nancy,

    i just wanted to say ( i m using lightwave from version 4) that if you understand the philosophy you got better chance to understand a language.

     

    the mathematic idea of the continuity of a curve is not in range of my "brain capacity" but the or theses guys who bring us this , to and for us it s just" magistral" .

     

    A:M deserve better. ;)

    i m playing with a:m for 1 month now. I m from lightwave whitch s a polygona modeling l software. Something "Bizarre" happened to me when i met this very very discreet software.This software need to make people thinking like an "Artisan" a Noble definition.

     

     

    Play with these very natural , and evident tools like a kid. This guy Martin Hash , and his team of passionated people, did long time ago an intelligent and mathematical software. Easy to understand for "non trigonometrek artist like me".

     

    Unfortunatly i can t prove it ( consider it like the "string theorie" , you got it on paper but you can t experience it.)

    With A:M everythig is possible (and some time it s very frustating) every button can be magic.

     

     

    The pen and paper technique is the way to model anything. i don t like this word but"planning is the way to be friend with Animation Master".and with every tools.

     

    i m going to post this in another subject but it s good to understand and to see what people are modeling just with there fingers an hands.

     

    ok people are going to debate about "bias","gamma","curvature tension" and blah blah blah , but this guy is doing so inteligent "flow that he can make every thing".

     

    pardon me for my english and please look at that..the flow ...

    From what I heard, the subscription activation process is supposed to be automated. But how can you automate situations where a user has changed his hardware and, of course, AM won't validate then. It thinks the user has copied AM and is trying to run the copy on another computer. So in those cases, a phone call is really necessary.

     

    I'll be happy when some genius figures out a way to discourage large scale piracy while allowing payed customers the freedom to use/move their purchases however they want.

     

     

    Thats not my case Homeslice , i had to reinstall XP for some reason but when came the moment to reinstall a:m and enter my activation code , i ve get a message like "this activation code is already used" !! sure it s used !! originaly by me but i can t go into A:M, it s very frustating.

     

    I miss A:m :(

    Dear Terrians

     

    Everybody recommand this tutorial to master some of A:m tools but the link is broken :(

     

    http://www.colins-loft.net/new_coop_tutorial/tutorials.html

     

    does someone get a copy or a kind of mirror site ?

     

    the other question that i ve bought on ebay the aM hanbook 2000 and the author mention a third party plugin named A:M loft (with double rails loft, and multisection lofting function) where can we find it ?

     

    I use the term "we" for us poor newbies we are front of the majic software.

     

    Last questioon but not least: is it possible to bake the ambiant occlusion as a texture map ?

     

    Thanks ;)
