Very interesting animations, Simon! Looks like you are very good at creating movements for your characters.

Now, I also created an improved version of it. HAPPY_NEW_YEAR.bmp

AHA! Now I understand. ''.mov'' couldn't get the transparency set correctly. It's pretty close to that I expected at the begining! LOL. I don't know if it's possible in A:M 11 either, but it's sure in v17. But can we please return back in our chat? I think we started talking about programs instead of the new year. So what I decided to create is: A WALLPAPER WITH ''HAPPY NEW YEAR'' AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD! Wallpaper.bmp

Realy? It looks like all my problems solved after all. Thanks everyone for your comments.

I have Windows XP. I was planing to use v15 it but I don't think my computer would play it very well. I think it would be better to use v11 in XP, because it's almost new. But I think we started talking about programs instead of the new year (which is the topic's goal). Can we please return back in our chat PLEASE? Happy new year, Fuchur.

Oh my god! I didn't know that was so usual. I'm realy happy of your beta-testing. And almost everything don't crash but I have a problem with the ''.DXF'' importer which crashes (I think it's because the object has big size, and if it's a high poly model it's sure that I'm gonna have much bigger problems). (I'm using 11.1d+). And I have to be more careful nowdays (because sometimes very creepy things will happen if you do something wrong!(I think programmers always have to plan many things of what will happen if other things will happen, checking very carefuly their programming and writting too and also don't forget to program anything). (And I'm sometimes very curious about how a software works). But I'm very happy to hearing good news from you. Thanks!

ANSWER IN FUCHUR'S COMMENT: Thanks, Fuchur! But the funny thing is that I feel like I'm the one who has a computer in that A:M's rendering system doesn't crash. LOL. This sounds like a great idea for ...(any kinds of filmmaking, like direct-to-film, cinema, ect.), and also it sounds very useful (image sequences for a film at development)! I thought you meant that Simon had exported the flash animation in seies of images. And I know that ''After Effects'' does lots of cool special effects. ANSWER AT SIMON'S COMMENT: Oh, my. Now I understand the trouble you have. I thought you tried to export the flash format by it's self a ''.mov'' format. And I knew it was imposible to apply a ''.mov'' format as a decal. (Sorry. ''.avi'' format wasn't what I meant. It was just my mistake). Thanks for explaining me what you exactly mean!

Thank you very much, for teaching me how you did that. Sounds pretty much like that I suggested (decals in a single plane). Looks like I stated learning more about that kind of combination of 2D with 3D. Thanks! But why coun't you export the 2D anmiation as an ''.avi'' format? I think it would be much faster than crating series of images.

WOW! Great, Simon. Did you combined 2D with 3D by using a video as a decal and using Cookie-cut to avoid the rest of it (all in a single plane)? If this isn't the way you did that, then I'm curious to learn the way you did that. PEASE.

Bravo, Robert! Looks like we all share our love for Christmas and 2014. I would like to see more contributions, if you have time to make. It's like a celebration for the next year! 2014 will be a new and better year after all.

I created sonething about 2014 too! Basicaly the first animation was done by me, but the two next were done in A:A (Animation:Aprentice) in 1989 by ''Screenplay Productions''. I mosty used images in this video, but I hope you'll like it. HAPPY_NEW_YEAR.AVI

It's true. Catherine/Κατερίνα (the little girl) is very adorable and she's my favourite too. Whoops! I almost forgot to tell you that I created and others. And you or I (I can't remember who) forgot to upload Aris's dad, wich I uploaded now and it's the first image.

WOW! AMAZING. I didn't know that was possible with A:M. I rendered the images, took a screen capture, took them to ''Microsoft Paint'', edited them and converted them to any kind of images. I mostly use the BMP format because the images appear very clean, but looks like the forum accepts JPEG images, which have much shorter size and they are acceptible. Sorry for my English.

Well basicaly I'll not use the red blood cell and the alien models. I was testing teacher's eyeglasses to see if the reflectivity was good enough to use. Thanks Rodney for solving the image problem. I don't know how to thank you!

Thanks! I started working with the storyboards and I hope everyone would like to see the finished project.

I have great news! I'm making a short film with Animation:Master 11.1d+ called ''Destoyed Neighbourhoods''. Because I live in Greece I named it ''Χλασμένες Γειτονιές''. This story is about some kids that can't find a place to play, because their town is too crowded, so they don't have any playgrounds. It is based on the memories of ''Κοσμάς Ι. Χαρπαντίδης'', a Greek writer. I started out making the character designs. I'll let know when i'll complete my short film someday in 2014. Merry Christmas! The middle photo is what i did about Christmas. The first image is a photograph of ''Kavala'' in the 70's. Kavala is a city in Greece.

Fantastic!!! Im new in this forum and I realy loved your job. I've been working with A:M from 2012.
