Hm, maybe the batch is not working anymore for Windows 11? You followed the video tutorial? https://www.hash.com/try-it-16-en Most importantly, you extracted the ZIP file to your desktop and did not try to open it from the ZIP file itself, right? Best regards *Fuchur*

In the task manager, go to the "advanced" tab (where you can see the processes with "master64.exe" for instance, and on master64.exe. Click on "associate with" (or something like that) and select the processors the software should work with. At least like that you should be able to put the high performance once in if that is possible. I do not own an Intel CPU, so I can't test it myself. I think Windows (and maybe A:M) does not recognize that rather new architecture of the Intel CPUs, where there are performance and efficiency cores. Maybe you can set even more up like energy saving options, etc.? Best regards *Fuchur*

I would say: Not necessary. There really is no important data stored with the account and as far as I can see, there is no problem with hacked accounts or hacking approaches. It may be a different thing for the store, but even there I do not see a real reason for it. If people think we really should use 2FA (and I do not see why), the worst thing I can think of would be Google Authenticator. Google is the biggest data seller on this planet and should not be used on websites and / or other services if not absolutely necessary. (very rarely that is the case) I do not know about Authy, but anything other than monopolistic companies is still a little better than the big G. Best regards *Fuchur*

Not at all – I subscribed to it in 2021 ;). They are just great :). Best regards *Fuchur*

At least the people there are asking the same thing from time to time... I do not find a shop on the page itself or linked in the navigation. Is there one? It is important to know, that cgtalk.com (or some of the other domains from earlier) is no longer valid (since 2020 or something in that direction). You need to go to "https://cgsociety.org/". Anyway: It seems to be very less frequently posted then in "the good old days", yes. Best regards *Fuchur*

You are talking about https://forums.cgsociety.org, right? Not sure... there is a spam post up in the news section for instance from 6 days ago, but the one from 9 days ago seems valid. Maybe they are just on vacaction for the time between new years and 6th of January? But not sure about it... haven't been around for a long time there since they closed down the A:M Forum. Best regards *Fuchur*

I loved it how you just got the wick, copied it and create a flame from it... very satisfying ;). And very interesting that you are using the HSL sliders instead of RGB for colors, attaching the lamp and the broom with bones to the hand and after that getting the hand right, and especially how fast you got Radiosity to work like you wanted it to was pretty much amazing. Very well done, nice workflow and a very nice result :). Best regards and thanks a lot for sharing. *Fuchur*

Hi John, seems like you are not getting my emails to your gmail address, right? Anyway: Glad that you are back splining :). Best regards *Fuchur*

That looks great :). I just love the style and teh fun rythmn in the walk of the dog. Has a lot of character. Are those the main characters of the game? I get some Sam & Max vibes if I watch them ;). Best regards *Fuchur*

Ok tried this out and found out, that it isn't working really as expected. This might be a way to do it – it says it works for Windows 10 and 8: https://www.howtogeek.com/133405/how-to-get-classic-style-themes-back-on-windows-8/ So I am not sure if it does. You can still change the interface color / accent colors and set it to affect the borders etc too, but it does not seem to get recognized in A:M itself. I just did a low priority request on A:M Reports about it. If it is easy to solve, it might get solved in a future release, but since this really is just a small nice to have, it might take a while. Best regards *Fuchur*

Hello everybody, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Hanuka or whatever you may celebrate at this time of the year :). Best wishes, keep on splining and all the best to your families too *Fuchur*

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. But if you like grey and less 3d stuff etc. do what I describe above. You gain performance and you get a very "old scool" look. It will not give you an option to directly change the colors to grey but grey is the base color you will get with that. (if you would like green, it would be a problem, but grey is easier) Best regards *Fuchur*

He is talking about the Windows 10 Style, not anything in A:M. I think it is pretty picky, but if you want to get rid of the "modern" style, try going to "Settings > Info > Extended System settings (on the right in the list), go to "Extended" > "Visual Effects" and turn off "Peek" and whatever you want to be off. That should make it much closer to the old look you are used to. I am however pretty sure you will acustom pretty fast to Win10s look, because it just is the better system, even so you are very likely going to have a learning curve with it. Best regards *Fuchur* PS: 8 GB of RAM is pretty low amount for C4d, Premiere, Vegas or A:M nowadays... just saying.

Hm, there are pretty likely not many with Windows 7 still who can say much about that. How much RAM is in your machine? 8 GB or more? Are you on 64bits? Best regards *Fuchur*

Hi everybody... as close to any year there is a new advent calendar for this year created with A:M. Everyday a new door with a hopefully funny commercial to make the time before christmas a little less stressful :). https://advent.targomed.de I hope you have fun :). Best regards *Fuchur*

I have used my 3d Space Mouse before but it was always just fun to use but not extremly helpful ;). I'll give it another try on the weekend maybe. Best regards *Fuchur*

This is your best bet I would say: https://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46932&hl=blender https://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=47778 Best regards *Fuchur*

The release candidate is very close... There were a couple of problems I ran into (I am a beta tester too), so it had to be a little pospont but those are close to being solved. Best regards *Fuchur*

Any reason written in the log why? You can set different limits of how often they will try or how many errors are allowed till the "give up" in the settings. That helps only with temporay network problems, etc. but sometimes increasing the value can help. Best regards *Fuchur*

There is no functional difference between the $300 version and the subscription for the time of the major version being the same. After that, the subscription will be current / can be updated as long as the subscription is running (after that it will no longer work till you buy a new subscription) and the $300 version will still be useable but will no longer receive updates. (u would then have to pay 300 again to get the newest version) The download to get can be found here and is the same for subscription and $300 version: However what you will need is the key. It can be found in the webstore (in general) or it may be in the email. If you did not receive an email, see this to see if it is available in the login area of the webstore. You can see how to do that here (only step 1-5 are relevant very likely): https://www.hash.com/renew-subscription-44-en If you could not find neighter an key nor the email, please contact support. (this may take a little) https://www.hash.com/contact-29-en Best regards *Fuchur*

Not sure about that. AIs learn what people like and if you can do something like here "punch 3x at head, pelvis and head again" and it can do such a thing, it may be possible to do much more. And anyway: It would be pretty easy for customers to talk to a AI instead of an artist to get something – especially if you can name a similar look, feel or composition. Hopefully that will take a lot of time, but impossible? Not even close if you ask me. Best regards *Fuchur*

I am not really anxious about the free time... everybody likes that and based on what I hear from the US, in Germany I already have a lot more free time than most people in an equal economic situation (which really isn't bad or anything. I am well off, but not really rich) in the US and I can say: You can always find something to do if you want... but I see a problem to have a job with a good salary in future. The people who own the A.I. and robots will have more money and will very likely make even more money with them in future. The people who do not own something like that (the majority of people): What should they do? Do we get 60% unemployment rates or more? What will happen then? Best regards *Fuchur*

What I find interesting / scary: What will all those people do in future? Close to everything is sooner or later possible to be generated by AIs. That means highly qualified, life long learners will no longer be needed to produce art or entertainment (or sooner or later anything else). So we do no longer need hundreds of people to produce a movie in SoundDesign, FX work, Art Design, etc. but maybe 10. Where do the others go? And what happens if 99/100 persons are no longer needed? We know what happens to many teenagers if they do not get an aim to strive for anymore. The way it was before was, that people who were producing a chair by hand moved the a factory to produce the chair in larger quantities. (a worse, less paid job) People can become inventors or engineers but how many do you really need of the "higher level" / "higher education level" people? Less than the once below the higher you go. Let's assume this: A company has 1 CEO, 5 directors, 20 managers, 500 workers. What should become of them in the end? 526 CEOs? "We are just getting more movies..." > yeah... but how many can you watch? I think we already have pretty much enough of them (YT, TikTok, series, cinema) and it will be MANY more in future. And if everybody is watching a different one... how should any movie maker make enough money to live from it? Or in the end: Anybody? Best regards *Fuchur*

Nice one... looks very interesting :). I have 24 cores in here but all the same. No Performance cores / efficiency cores. How did you do the graph? Seems like a lot of work to put that together? Best regards *Fuchur*

There is an option called "Polymode" in the settings at the "OpenGL3" tab, which will show you the polygonal structure in realtime, but it is not shaded. Anyway, you might want to put in a new light into the model you are using this with and then you should be able to see what is happening pretty easily. Best regards *Fuchur*
