    Hi Martin, Sorry, I know I'm 12 months late but....Welcome Back! I don't do much animation at home now. Doing animation all day every day in the games industry has greatly reduced my enthusiasm and stamina for that. However, I did use A:M for parts of a music video I did in spare time a couple of years ago. I do still love the software and feel nothing but excitement every time I think of it. I had one such flash of nostalgia just now and decided to look in on the forum again and saw your post. Fantastic! Dale

    Thanks everyone. It makes it all worthwhile when you get feedback like this

    Thanks Rodney. I just remember we decided we wanted to do some sort of story and it just came to me while listening to the song. David, thanks for the kind words. Fuchur, it took me so long to create it in spare time that, unless I could do it full time, I think it will be a while before I do another one I'm really pleased you liked it. Your comments here made my day. It's my Birthday too

    Happy Christmas! I promised to post this video when it was completed. It's mostly 2D (Anime Studio) but there is also quite a lot of, mainly toon rendered, A:M work in there. http://vimeo.com/115225905

    I do like that film. I bought it on DVD having had fond memories of seeing it as a kid. It's a bit primitive looking at it now but very good for when it ws made. No video assist or anything then so they were animating 'blind' as it were. Although, so was Harryhausen and his work was far superior.

    Thanks. It's for a music video I've been doing for ages! Almost done now so I will let you see it soon.

    I've deleted all lights in the model and re added them in the Choreography where they render fine with the same values. A bit annoying as I have two instances of the lighting Rig in the Choreography and it would have been handy just to add the lights in the model as now I have to do double the amount of lights. It takes a while to set them up and align them. Thanks for the information everyone.

    I couldn't work out how to edit my previous post but this is what I get so far.....just the spots on the floor. The beam will show on some occasions even though I've changed nothing in the properties.

    Hi John, I've only tried multipass up to now. I will try again in a minute. I notice the spot shows on the floor but the volumetric beam doesn't render. It's the latest version of A:M btw. I will also try adding the lights in an Action.
  10. Dalemation
    Hi Rodney, Thanks for the replies. I will look into it more later but jut to let you know. The lights are set up in the model window and I have Volumetrics set to on and I've increased the intensity of the lights to 70% also to see them better. I'm rendering from the Choreography. They all appear to show up in real time render, which I switched on originally, but they don't render. Well some do but different ones with each render as I say.

    I've run into a slight problem. I've added several Klieg lights in a model (as opposed to in the Choreography). However, I'm having trouble rendering them. Sometimes one will render, sometimes three will render and sometimes a different one will render. I can't get them all to render at the same time! Does anyone have any advice on what might be going wrong? Thanks, Dale
  12. Dalemation
    Wow! Nancy, that will save me a lot of time. I will try that now. As you can tell, I haven't used A:M so much lately. Only because I've been doing more 2D at home as I do 3D all day. However, I always use A:M when I need to do 3D but I've just got a bit rusty with it I'm amazed at what I do remember and how much I enjoy using it though. Thanks for the help everyone.
  13. Dalemation
    That did it. Thanks Mark I was turning off visibility in the Choreography. It's strange as I need to hide the glass 'visor' on the cockpit too and simply hiding that in the model window was enough to stop it rendering. I will have to render that on it's own to place over the character. I do make things complicated for myself!
  14. Dalemation
    I've come across a slight problem. I have the character constrained to the pod so he sits inside. Fine. However I want the character to be toon rendered and the pod to be 3D (it looks better that way). So I want to render them separately and composite them. I hide the character in the Choreography but he always renders? I can delete the character altogether for this one pass but I'm sure he shouldn't render if hidden?
  15. Dalemation
    John it's mostly 2D but I will let you know when it's finished.
  16. Dalemation
    Thanks both. I still find creating models in A:M to be very therapeutic
  17. Dalemation
    I just completed a model for a music video.
  18. Dalemation
    I downloaded it smoothly. A very easy and fast process. I look forward to watching it later. I did try viewing it on the laptop just now but my wife is watching TV sat next to me and I was swiftly told to "shut up!"
  19. Dalemation
    I'd like to see this. Good luck. Just pledged

    Hi Josh, I have only recently come back to this forum after being away for a while but I certainly remember Paul as being a mainstay of this community and a very helpful contributor. So sorry to hear the news. Dale

    Dalemation replied to chaz's topic in A:M Films

    Charlie : That's a great little short. It has a lot of charm and I hope you do really well with it. I know you've worked very hard on it. Can't wait to see it with all the textures and lighting. Robcat2075 : Just noticed the test animations on your blog. There's some great stuff there! I notice you are a Jeff Lynne fan too

    I've been following the production of this and just viewed the trailer. It's incredible! I can't add anything to what's been said except...I agree with all the comments. Gorgeous work
  23. Dalemation
    I'm very appreciative too Mark. I can't frequent the forum as much as I'd like these days as I have quite a few distractions going on. The last time I tried installing the rig there were problems with the mirror bones not mirroring some bones and weights. Has this been sorted out now? I'm sure once this rig is used a few times and becomes THE rig to install it will be downloaded in far greater numbers. Please don't give up on it now.
  24. Dalemation
    It's no inconvenience. It will be good practice for me to do it over again. Atleast I know I'm not as stupid as I thought I was! I'm just grateful to you for creating this and for always helping out with problems. Whenever you get time is fine - you don't have to do it at all!
  25. Dalemation
    Even though I was incredibly tired last night I couldn't wait to get started on testing this out so had about 30 minutes or so on it. I haven't finished yet but so far the instructions are very easy to follow and I'm looking forward to completing tonight. Thanks Mark.
