Is this still available for testing? I have a 13 year old who would love to try it out for you, he wants to be a games programmer/tester.
If not, when will it be available for purchase?
Thanks,
Richard

Another possible DVD extra would be project files from the actual production. These would be great learning material.
The Blender guys are doing this with their "open source movie" Orange. They are going to make all their production files available.

I like the characters, the dog moves are good, not perfect, but far better than I can do....
Thanks. The dog was a simple test of the rig, never done a quadraped before.
On the animation front, I just got Jeff Lew's DVD. Hopefully my animation will get better.
For anyone that hasn't gotten it yet, Lew's DVD is on sale now at Jeff Lew's website. And, if it's still available, you can get an extra 10% off by checking here.
With the 10% off, I got it with shipping for less than the $39.95 sale price.

Here is the Pipecleaner family's "home". The movie is no where near complete, so it won't make it for the current mini-movie contest. Maybe the next one.

You posted this hint some time ago, but I could find any replies to the hint, so I'm guessing the three billy goats (or whatever the story is called in english, original name was "de tre bukkene burse"). The troll in the story keeps saying "Fee fi fo fum" each time one of the billy goats crosses the bridge he lives under...
I would think more "Jack and the Beanstalk".

Id been thinking of simple line drawings for a model and or a tooth pick one etc but your idea tops mall !!! flexable and textured...absolutly fabulous, hope you dont mind if I try out your idea on my own sometime?
Michael,
Thanks. Go ahead and try it out. They are super simple to rig. Since it's a piece of wire with fuzz, you don't have to worry about creasing, etc.

Nice, very realistic. It figures, sitting around trying to come up with inspiration... you come up with this great, simple, minimalist idea...
...BUT, you need to use HAIR!
So, are they as hard to straighten out as the real thing? That use to bug me in elementary school art class. My pipe cleaners always got knotted and never straightened out... then they lost their fuz.... just like me!
Thanks all.
I've spent the last week or so modelling and rigging these in my spare time. The "people" are rigged with the 2001 rig and I used Mark's quadruped rig for the dog. Check my new avatar to see some of them in motion.
They all use hair, but, so far, they don't take too terribly long to render.
I'm using A:M 11.1h, haven't upgraded to 12 yet.
I haven't tried to straighten them out, but I'm sure it would be just about as tough as the real thing.

There was a problem with the links to the file that caused some users to be unable to download it.
Hopefully that is fixed now.

haven't see a snow globe sample for awhile nicely doneThat turned out real nice.
Thanks! I think it turned out pretty well since I only put 2 weeks into it. If I do one for Christmas this year, I will put more time into it.

I just tried it but the file that downloaded was only 6K and wouldn't unzip. Maybe the link is wrong?
Sorry about that, there was a link problem.
Should work now.
BTW, the WIP for this is here.

This is the original reindeer rotoscope/decal. It's a modified digital photo of an ornament from our tree.

Completed animation has been posted here.
The targas for the anim took most of a week to render due to it having 2 particle systems and 2 hair systems.
Here's a model I did for the animation. I modified my giraffe model from the tutorials into a reindeer.

Here's an animation I've done over the holidays. Wanted it out before Christmas, but took too much time.
EDIT: The larger version is now on A:M Films, HERE.

I'm posting to the discussion. Am I eligible now? Did I win?

Some more work on the tree. A little fuller and more random.

Here is a Christmas tree I am currently working on for a Christmas scene.

Is there any hope that someone will reply top my plea for help in dropping movie filesize.
I am a complete newbie at this and was hoping that someone would help me in advising on how I get the movie files down in byte size.
Sorry if I sound a bit taught but I did think that someone would help been as most seem to have solved this by the size of their movie files.
I have completed all tutorials but cannot put any more files up on my site and this forum only allows 1 MB.
This problem along with my re-installation problems have daunted me a little. I have never had problems with any of the software packages I use but AM seems to have given me a huge headache since I lost the ability to Keyframe and did a re-install.

William,
If you are rendering the movies from A:M, when you set the movie type (avi or quicktime) click on SET beneath the type to set your compression. I have been using Sorenson 3 Quicktime (mov) for the exercises with the compression set to medium or low quality at a size of 320x240. The only one I had size problems with was the lip sync with sound. The settings dialog for the quicktime in A:M doesn't have a setting for the audio. Just try different compression types and quality settings. For video, it's always a tradeoff between quality and file size.
For stills, I load the tga files into Paintshop Pro then save out as jpg's which compresses them quite a bit for posting.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Richard,
That was an impressive run down the home stretch and over the finishline.
Zoooom!
Your certificate should be online.
Enjoy!
Thank you Rodney!
I would like to thank the academy and my cat for all the support she gave me.

Here's Keekat, I did my own pose.

Richard,
Great job!
I do have two questions though.
1) Certificate name = Richard A. Creel?
2) Its something of a tradition of late to have everyone's Keekat from Exercise 1 on the certificate. I couldn't find yours. Do you want to post an image of Keekat from Exercise 1 or shall I pick one at random?
I think it's safe to say that you can probably drag and drop a model from the library to the Choreography window and add a pose to it.
Please advise.
-Rodney
P.S. I think you get the award for "Most powerful spin on a bowling ball"!
Richard A. Creel is fine. I will post a Keekat image for you.

Greg,
Is the demo available yet? If so, where is it located?
Thanks,
Richard
