What I remember in that case: 1.) Try to press "CTRL + D" to toogle the visibility of the rotoscopes / decals in realtime. 2.) Change the realtime-driver as John told you. 3.) Update video-drivers. See you *Fuchur*

I really like the hair you've got there... the movement of it looks very naturally. See you *Fuchur* PS: Not that I wouldn't like any other movement in the scene...

Very unlikely... . I would recommend to start it, pause it again and just wait for the progress bar to be filled before you start watching the tutorial... it is hosted at my website and there is no real streamingserver there... that means it needs a little bit more progresstime before you can start with it, especially since some are quite large and you need a quite fast internet connection to watch them like that. See you *Fuchur* PS: "rude" in general means "not polite"... I think you mean hard / jerky to watch, right?

Hi Stephane, Sculptris needs to export a map from the real height-informations of the high-poly-mesh. I know that 3dCoat, ZBrush and very likely Mudbox can do that, but I am not sure if Sculptris can. If yes, it would be possible to use the blender- or the 3dCoat-Plugin to bring the model with the displacementmap or normal-map back to A:M. But I did not try it till now. See you *Fuchur*

Hi Mike, please write to support@hash.com. It is very likely that your hostid (a unique number for your PC) has changed with that update somehow. They will tell you what to do. (don't worry, A:M you subscription is not lost... it just has to be rewritten) See you *Fuchur*

The problem with all those other solutions is, that you really do not know if there is something on the computer left, which will infect you again in 2 weeks or which is really only active on certain occasions or which is just logging your creditcard informations right now or which is even doing harm unnoticed somehow else. Virus scanners do not find everything and if the virus/trojaner is a smart one you are doomed. In general you do not know which are really on your computer... 3 can be found, 1 is not... the 1 which is not is the hard and serious one in general because someone has gone through the trouble to make it much harder to find for a reason. There are viruses which install other common and known viruses / trojaners for the only reason to give you the false feeling that your virus detection software is working great... There are viruses which just shut themselves down if they notice a virus scanner is close to finding them. There are viruses which install themselves to new, random locations after a short period of time and delete themselves at the first location. There are viruses which install themselves on USB-drives and delete themselves after that. If you want to become frightened, read further on: There are viruses which use security holes in the UEFI-bios of your computer to put themselves in the BIOS-memory. This means: They will be there even if you format your hard-drive. In laborartories there are even viruses tested which can copy themselfs to computers which are not even connected to eachother because of speakers in your computer. (these are not known to be a problem for private users for now... but who knows what happens tomorrow?) If we are talking in direction of intelligence services it even can be worth... some of them force hardware manufacturer to include stuff in the hardware... You can of course try to eliminate the viruses and trojaners but in the end, you are never sure if you got them all or if some of them are just hiding better. In general the aim of a virus today is not to kill your computer. Real worm-viruses are very rare today. That is because it is not helping the programmers of those softwares to kill your computer > no financial interest there. In the earlier days it was fun for them to just delete important files and stuff like that. Today it is all about getting information or use your computer to attack other, more valuable servers/computers (= bot net approach) and in that case it is often good for them to be just not noticeable... and there are just many different tactics to archieve that. I am system admin at my agency (which means I have come in contact with that stuff quite heavily) and I have had several courses (Information Security I - III = 3 semesters) on the university about that stuff... I may be a little paranoid like that... but I think this is something you can not be too lazy about. The problem with all of this is, that you can not be sure at all (even if you did not have a noticeable infection). Maybe there is already one hiding quite well... but the properbillity of that is smaller than that after a heavy infection there isn't something overseen by the virus scanners. I know it is troublesome but most security experts do just recommend to restart fresh after such an outburst of infections. That is like that just because they first have to find one or even a certian combination of open doors somewhere to get a high-level of user right on the computer before they can do harm or copy themselves, etc. Once they have that... it is over. (it does not have to be over, but you just don't know) If you do not want to do that, that is your decission, but especially if you are not very aware of what you are doing very well (security vise) and you are not running a firewall (no, the default windows firewall is not the one I would trust here) with logging of any network traffic, port-blocks and application-filters (and you looking from time to time what is going on in the logs), just reinstall your computer and be more careful what you install and which pages you surf on next time. Since you will very likely copy files to external devices first, you are still not 100% secure, but at least it is much less likely that you copy one of the infected files and maybe tomorrow, when you are trying to copy the file back, virus scanners have updated too and will be able to get rid of it for you. See you *Fuchur*

more likely you already had something on the computer. often those programs start with showing of advertisements. it looks like the website you visit has a lot of those ads on it but in reallity this is not triggered by the website but is loades like a layer over the website. this is only possible if you have such crapware already on your computer. they make money with that. showing all kinds of paid ads lie that. and if some of the paid ads are bad/harmful (which is very likely since a normal company would not give these guys money) it all goes bad... The only real solution is to format your harddrive (hopefully it could not infiltrate your bios...), get a good virus scan software (like bitdefender for instance) and be more careful which websites you visit and which software you install...

on my website there is a simple video tutorial on the subject. i am not aware about more tutorials in that direction. see u *fuchur*

Okay guys, we figured the problem out: He was running Windows XP SP3 and tried to install v16 non-expiring version. It is likely that this would be a problem with Subscription too. v16 had no Visual Studio 2008 / 2005 combined with the installer and like that you need to install that by yourself. You can find that here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsvc/archive/2008/08/07/part-1-troubleshooting-vc-side-by-side-problems.aspx If you are on Windows XP SP3 you need to install VS 2005 SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 and you should be good to go . (users of Win 7 and newer version of A:M or the OS should not need that!) He is up and running now . See you *Fuchur*

You do not need that... I will connect to you... but lets switch this conservation to the private messaging section. See you *Fuchur*

I got one now... but it took quite some time. (but not 3 only 1)

i'll do in 10 minutes...

Sounds like the registration-server is down at the moment. You can try it again later or wait till Jason fixes it. I'll tell Jason about it and he should get back to you. See you *Fuchur*

In the rendersettings if you activate "Toon Render" you can click on "Override Shading". After activating that the method is asked and there you can choose the option "Toon with multiple lights". See you *Fuchur*

Are you using toon with single-light or with multi-light-settings? See you *Fuchur*

install v18m. this was a bug two or three versions ago but should be fixed in the newest version. see you *fuchur*

...or use "Reduce..." by rightclicking on each channel of the movements in the PWS (for instance Transform.Translate.X, Transform.Translate.Y and Transform.Translate.Z) You do not have to do it manually that way. See you *Fuchur*

If it would be okay for you, I could have a look at that using Teamviewer. If you do not know what Teamviewer is: It is a free for personal use software, with which another person can see and control your computer if the other person has a password and an id and you allow it. You can always see what I am doing on your screen (since I will move your mousepointer) and it is only working if Teamviewer is running (you have to start that manually by yourself) and of course you can kick me from your computer whenever you wish, change your password or just get rid of teamviewer on your computer. (more informations can be found here: www.teamviewer.com) Since you are from the Netherlands and I am from Germany, we are in the same timezone. If you want to go that route, please let me know and send me an email to werbung(-at-)patchwork3d(-dot-)de any time. I'll see if I can help you somehow or see what is going wrong there and why the software is not installing as it should. See you *Fuchur*

very very nice

Sorry but you just would not be happy with the result of such a thing anyway... How many polygones are there? Sounds like a lot. Depending on what you want to do with it, it will be unusable that way anyway. You did convert it with blender to an MDL-file and tried to import that, right? I would recommend to import it eighter as a prop and do a retopology OR you import it into blender, reduce it there (retopology) and work that way. You could although try to split the model into several and try it that way, but that depends on what you have there.

opera is a little left behind... firefox is the way to go. chrome is a göod one too but is very heavily built around collecting user data for google. see u *fuchur*

Very cool entries . Well done . See you *Fuchur*

We are talking about menubars and stuff like that, right? Otherwise there is the option to reload the last project at start up. I usually deactivate that, but it might be what you are looking for? > Tools > Options > Global > "At start-up: Reload last project". See you *Fuchur* PS: If you can reproduce an error, please put it into A:M Reports. That way the Mac version gets more stable. For instance: On my windows pc, these things are saved exactly as it should be. And of course check the write rights of the folder just in case. I think I remember that being the cause of such a problem before for mac-users.

Wow Rodger... I am not even sure if someone here has used that... Heiner, Robert and Rodney may be able to answer that... I myself started with v8, so I can't be of use there... Anyway what do you plan with that version?

Hm... I just tried this again, but with the latest hxt it does not send my model back to A:M. It imports it fine and i can draw perfectly on the object in 3dcoat but it is not given back at all. Neighter in 3d Coat 4.5 nor in 4.0. Anyone has the same problems? See you *Fuchur*
