tutorials are good but finding by trial and error can be fun also

simple project with multiple views http://johnl.inform.net/pages/cameraview.htm

Anyway through these results togethr all are sweeper results with crazy shapes [attachmentid=19568] and project file ..pick path or circle then sweeper change numbers an see weird results [attachmentid=19569] Night dshape.zip

which version of AM...PC Or Mac... does version 29 freeze.

Look at the setting changes I made on the Project I posted I moved the material foward (offset in the z direction) so the red was on the outside. It has to do from what I remember on how the material was made, just know that is how it works

Good Call Vern I thought he might be using toonnations brick material I duplicated what he had done and did not get the weird results [attachmentid=19279] v13e [attachmentid=19280] brick.zip

I would say its the way you modeled this. Did you do a bunch of pieces stretched to shape this That all I can see that you might of done. Post a wire frame.

I am not sure why the other did not load but this one was saved from a later version project so maybe that helped

[attachmentid=19237] Try this one v13Fat_Guy.zip

Thats okay I will be borrowing a few things but I will be rigging my original character first maybe by christmas....be careful what you post. Oh if anyone has a better picture on NG please contact me

thanks Nancy I think I know where the picture came from now

Saw these tube kites on the beach in Oregon So here's the quick test of 13E trying to imitate the kite [attachmentid=19036] kite01.mov

Did anyone notice that you never see Nancy or Monty Python in the same room? Look at the picture when you click on her name obviously she has been a victim of Spam Spam Spam Spam

Jeff you are the artist.

Okay But why Nancy played I got to visit the Hash Office and had a very pleasant tour with Martin Hash and Crew. So my reply may take awhile. Maybe I can have the ghost at Hash pay Nancy a visit. Oink Close as I could get to a full photograph [attachmentid=19027] Click while viewing for possible preview ..captured while Nancy was working [attachmentid=19028] squeal2.wav

the library might have been refering to the library files on the cd and of course you can't save to a regular cd , Chances are there is a copy of your file if you have been saving it for weeks, As suggested do a search. If you are in windows see if the name apperas in recent documents and then right click\properties will tell you where it should be. good Luck

Step 1 make an oval path (oval)-stretched circle-name it Step 2 make outline of link (circle) name it adjust sizes Step 3 Choose path and then right click-plugins-sweeper choose extrude the link outline ok we now have a link-default name sweptobject Step3a depending how you made path you might have to adjust the link model to get it to orient right on path when you duplicate...remember use front view for drawing outline or positioning dup model ..position to center is reflected in position from path Step 4 Make chain path straight line (my link was ~100 chain path ~900 I chose 12 duplicates) roll each step 90 make sure you picked sweptobject ok - now chain.. which can be resized and you can erase the parts used to make it [attachmentid=18607] forgot to save project..getting ready for vacation

I could be missing the darktree material and some decals for the character (on extracd) skipping around but the rest should load...

Swept a wall outline and mini tower around circular path [attachmentid=18579] [attachmentid=18580] [attachmentid=18581] Ran out of time to render did a still sweeptest.zip sweeptest.mov

I think its a mac / pc thing they all opened for me...did you see any you liked? I can try to fix the links or redo them

Glad it was enjoyable I just realized that I could have easily made a better frame but I was rushing ...the one on it is just really for the illusion..will make a better one after vacation. I have to get familiar with sweeper again since now its free with v13 and I only used it a little before

great work on the run...love the sounds effect and the water

I have a quick list of tuts that I have made but not indexed on my site. If anyone has the time to look please click on one of the letter links and watch the tut and let me know if you think its worth saving. Some are from much older versions of AM. I was thinking of cleaning up and updating my site so this will help Thanks for any comments http://johnl.inform.net/pages/aaa.htm

Rodney I'm glad you liked it now I don't have to tweak it..... I really have to start rigging my other model might try the new rig after watching the tuts

Sweeper and some "quick" modeling here is the "needing much tweaking" results..also model from extra cd [attachmentid=18437] in case some one wants to play with this [attachmentid=18436] track.zip rcoaster.mov
