That was quite funny! Very well executed!

Have you tried clicking on the small arrow/triangle just before the characters name?

It's their loss, your entry looks quite good!

Let me thank you ALL! for your assistance, I think I am now going in the right direction with this matter.

I managed to get the alpha property for the image sequence, now I get this when I render with a cookie cut out on the object. The top part of the test object has a TGA sequence applied as a cookie cut out. The bottom part of the test object has a PNG sequence applied as a cookie cut out. render.tiff

I can't get this to work! I've tried quicktime movie files animation with million colors +, jpegs, TGA sequences 24 bits and 32 bits. What' the best format to use in AM in order to get the transparency of an image to render?

Thank you very much! That did the trick!

I'm having a problem with a model I'm working on, some of the points in the model are unselectable(ghosted). I don't know if there is a button or feature that locks the points. Any assistance will be appreciated!

Does anything happen if you select the empty slot? Can you screen capture that menu when it appears? You should submit that with an AMReport This should be an AMReport too. Do you have anything to screen capture a movie of this? I'm working on a screengrab right now! How do I go about reporting bugs?

I've downloaded the plugin again making sure it's the right version for the Mac, then dragged it into the HXT folder, after selecting a patch to split and going to the wizards menu, I get the list, but the splitpatch option doesn't appear, there are two empty slots in the list, as if there should be something there. As far as using it with AMv16, I tried using that version, but kept getting a missing plugins window that kept going through all the plugins imaginable,so I gave up!

I have installed the splitpatch plugin by Yoda_64 and when I select a patch(s) to split there is no splitpatch option in the wizards submenu. I'm using AM 15OJ+ on an ImacG5

I am trying to cut down render times by rendering the areas of the image that do not change only once(single image), then rendering the region where there is movement or action(movie or sequence) and composite in After FX. I'll give your suggestion a try. BTW it's an old habit from using Imagine on the Amiga.

No I just tried rendering a sequence, and found that out. It would be nice to be able to render just area of the camera view to a movie or sequence. Thanks for the help!

Will this work for final render of a movie or sequence?

Is there a way to set part of the camera view to render(only an area of the image). Thanks in advance for any assistance.
