played with a image I had ..altered the coloring in photshop then applied as a color, ambiance, and specular decal then with a pose changed the percentage of these factors then animated the change got this try.mov

on the extra dvd and or cd I thought there was a biped dinosaur that might have a rig

did this just now in v14 XP flaretrial.mov flaretrial.zip

did a quick try of an idea heat.mov heat.zip

Nice job again Matt

hadn't played with the duplicator plugin for awhile ...thanks Caroline....my "shell" attempt shell.mov

Nice site/blog Kelly..nice airship also

did you download the data file also. ? sorry don't have the link at lunch at work found this in search There's a 162mb data download at: ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/misc/Data.zip

Start by making the pieces and puting them together if you then need help with the material or adding a rig to animate then ask again look here for example http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31554&hl=

Not sure if this would do ..spherical material used to do displacement for treads tire.zip

tried one more idea with this borrowed column from greek temple swept it and calculated radiosity at default ww.zip

Okay for the shape I did a randomish profile that I lathed and named path ..made a smalll 8point circle as the shape named shape selected path then sweeper and extruded the shape with these settings then took the swepted object copied into a new model turned on glow in the model attributes then rendered using these setttings notice plug-in shaders used (at default values) Got this project V15b includes the original sweep path/shape etc glowing.zip left out layer with tga sequence on this one

I actually forgot to save the project ..I thought I did but can not find it ..... but will reproduce it or at least something similar. The sweeper part was just pretty straight forward the glow was a combination of material settings and using the plug-in shaders the flame layer was just a series of tga images with an alpha layer nothing fancy there. I'll see if I can find the original post on the forum. Will post project with some notes later. found a qt that I converted to the tga sequence here http://www.colins-loft.net/free/fire%20example.mov

To get the qt to loop now that I've upgraded the looping is no longer saved with the free version of qt so hit Ctrl L to have this loop..I guess that doesn't work unless you save the qt to your harddrive by right clicking and save as lantern.mov I while ago I think it was Colin who posted a sequence of a flame burning I added this to a sweeper test in V15b using a layer inserted in the middle

right click on project file then choose save as

Very nice Caroline I started this but yours is better eyecontrol.mov

Masna check your compression settings ..a smaller file will get a bigger audience

The weird alien looking landscape contest entry was mine Here is the project with the tga files used lnds3.zip I did use the plug in diffuse shader planet glow when rendering here is the effect on shaggy model

http://www.animationmentor.com/index.cfm?c...ion=getMoreInfo animation mentor website

here is the original model I did not model it as noted above MrBall.zip

not very clear as to what you are asking the splines look like the are wrapping around to the other side which is normal unless you break them.. use the twisted arrow tool with the mouse and rotate your view and read the beginning of the manual

I would suggest just rendering whatever you want to show as a jpg that would be the easiest way...read at least the beginning of the manual would answer most of your questions.

just look at my avatar...its actually a model posted that I believe was a copy from a model used with animation mentor which I modified found this in an old post on the forum The egg is the same model used by animation mentor that was converted to AM I just doctored it up a bit Models http://members.aol.com/Chrisdmd/amstuff/ it looks like the link is gone...I'm at work now if I can find it I could post the origiinal model... if I have it found this

you never saw a tinkering gnome before

Another fantastic episode...love the ending
