NETech2470

The program features are the same. The $79 version (Subscription) will run for one year on your computer and you can run any new update or version (even betas) that comes out during that year. It is locked to the computer you install it on. After one year... subscribe again for $79! Like the subscription, the $299 version is locked to the computer you install it on. Like the subscription, it lets you run anything that comes out in the year after you activate. Unlike the subscription, it doesn't expire after one year, you can continue to run whatever versions you got during the year. It won't run versions that come out after that year. This version is probably intended for people who need to know they will be able to run the A:M version they've been working with even if Hash were to disappear from the Earth and not able to offer a new subscription. I believe you also get printed manuals (instead of PDFs) and a hard copy of the Extras DVD. Anyone know if I'm correct on that? I will get the 299 deal I like that better than renewing all the time. I bought mine back in 2004 , it came in a box with a 184 page manual. it did allow me to update for 1 year and keep that last version. meaning my disc is v 10.5 2004 and i was allowed to go as high as v11.1 2005 I can see how the Subscription price is a good deal also. Basically for a little less then the price as buying 1 version forever, you could be using/renting the latest version for the next 3 years. Which has it good points as you will also have access to new features/effects and most likely a more user friendly system. But after the subscription is up you will need to re-subscribe to continue using. Also keep in mind that if you were to buy the software you will also get discounts on upgrades to future versions. In the end it all balances out . Welcome to AM!

Im some what new to using AM myself and I find it easier to learn then the others. However as with all animation software things can get complicated and puzzling at times. It takes determination, alot of practice, patients. The Key is to accept and learn from the mistakes you will make, Dont let them discourage you. Understanding how each tool functions and behaves goes along way in learning how to put everything together. once you get a grip on that the learning becomes alot easier. Start off making small objects and slowly work up from there. I did the opposite,( created a entire bar room) which was to much to do for a 1st project lol Was not a waste of time because i did learn alot but i would still recommend starting small like a can or bottle then fine tuning the edges, details etc so it looks perfect. If/when you get to a point that your stumped or frustrated just take 10 min to regain your thoughts and try again and if all eles fails you got these Great Very Smart Vets in this forum. Make Sure to to watch there videos! Very Good Stuff.

Good Stuff thank you, the past few days i have been collecting video help files, tuts etc Everything has been very helpful. Im coming along quicker then i thought but its only due to the great help & video files you guys /gals have created & shared. Back to learning

Thank you for the replys I just created a new name and its working ty The other one i think i only logged in a few times years ago so it wont be missed lol. I had to use a different email though to create a new one. Thank you

Thank you for the warm welcome Quick question who would i talk to about resetting the AM11.1 Community Chat password in the AM program Itself? It don't accept my forum password and i tried everything i could think of, even tried the forgot password within that software several times but gives a error saying registration info don't match my order. I know all the info im putting in is correct. Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted in wrong area. ADDED: I think i know why, Cause my version has the Elf Troll guy on the box and i updated that to 11.1 via the site FTP So maybe it is not taking into account that it is not the original old version but a updated version.

Wow that was quick! Thank You I would love to upgrade and will once my budget allows. but until then im stuck on this version. I have windows 7 on another Hard drive but I was getting graphical problems with the software. tried all windows, graphic card, etc updates but problem remained so i kept using xp. Thats cool though i can run it twice on same computer and have it do that I will try it out in a few. Thanks Again!

Hi, Just got back into AM11.1 was wondering what Rendering options are available for this version? I read something about net rendering and it comes with so many licenses however i don't even see that option in my version so maybe its to old. 2nd Question: I have a duel Core CPU, is there anyway to make AM11.1 use both cores? Thank you in advance for your answers. Wayne

Hi, I bought the Boxed Version of Animation Master and Phone book sized Book in 2004 however never really got into it like i had planed to due to Personal/emotional issues. Without getting into to much detail, Lost my Father to cancer in 2001, lost my Mom to Cancer in 2010 but at least she was there for my wedding before she passed. Less then a year later my wife choose to vist her kids in canada and somehow in the process wound up moving in with some older guy who supposedly has more money. Which sucks but is ok as long as she is happy. Anyway I now have alot of free time and have reinstalled this trying to learn as much and as fast as i can. you see I spent everything i had for the immigration lawyers and paper work, etc so my Canadian wife could live here in the Usa but now she is staying there and money was wasted. Im currently unemployed and 1 step away from being homeless. but hey its life right. So i have finally started learning Version 11.1 with the goal to share my creativeness while doing something i enjoy and making a fair living doing it. Im sorry for the rant as my only intention was to introduce myself and what im about. But Unfortunately this is me and where im at in life. With that said, HELLO and it is Very Nice to Meet you all
