Remember the plug in is included with 13 but can be downloaded at the site site for plug -in get the one for AM http://www.darksim.com/html/simbiont.html Free Textures http://www.darksim.com/Repository/ Sample renders http://www.pixelburg.com/am_materialtest/d...nt21/index.html The great thing is a lot are animated Water ones I tried http://johnl.inform.net/pages/105sim.htm http://johnl.inform.net/pages/watersim.htm had to try one in v13b [attachmentid=17898] ytest.mov

did a quck study of these three [attachmentid=17894] except for hair collision this quick test looks good hat is cloth a.mov

Rodney I took Thom gave him poses with percentage slider. Then in action had expression drive the pose slider. Here is the result. Maybe someone else could help tweak this idea [attachmentid=17865] [attachmentid=17866] If you scroll you'll see it almosted works on a frame by frame basis ...hmm random.mov rodney.zip

watch and see if this helps http://johnl.inform.net/pages/easysprite.swf.html

Glad I almost helped...

they all have alpha channels you need a paint program to see the image

[attachmentid=17819] I found these two notes Most of my projects old and new included the sprites unless they were on the cd Rodney I have about 50 megs of older projects zipped Most are still on my website but some links are no longer visible. note.zip

Been to busy to do much but the start of this idea Will post project when I get something closer to what a envisioned [attachmentid=17785] [attachmentid=17786] ltest.mov ltest1.mov

[attachmentid=17661] Close needs a little tweaking acombo.mov

Color layer and Wire layer 1st chor gets the info for layers 2nd chor gets the layers moving after switching camera types very Mini tut

One of those weird ideas when I think I can animate Fiirst render- rough draft [attachmentid=17598] Now to get the actual results I wanted combo.mov

Ross's boomerang made me try this used an expression to rotate the boomerang which was constraint to a path [attachmentid=17520] Sorry no project I closed AM before I saved it... boom.mov

Had not tried v13 hair so I put together this tree using a hair image and added some force changes for movement [attachmentid=17502] nothing too exciting [attachmentid=17504] included the image 13hairtree.mov 13hairtree.zip

did a quick search on forum http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?act=S...lite=%2Blobster

check the sample projects for the newton plugin

Very Nice Style

I tried both and both worked fine ...are you talking about the qt or project file. Mac or PC Try right click save as

Yes you could model that character using the pictures as rotoscopes Or depending by what you mean by animating here is a 20minute version [attachmentid=17394] Grabbed the tiny picture and converted it to an illustrator path oround figures, inported into am applied decal and"animated" Project in release 13 [attachmentid=17395] Better to model it .... sure.mov sure.zip

Nice work...the only thing that seemed out of place in the early stuff was the red cloth cape coming through the character.. The creatures set is awesome

also make sure the light is not behind a patch

got black screen after waiting

NIce idea and modeling I could almost hear the sound it would make

I have run into a snag using booleans in v13 so tested again in v12. The cutter was a quick illustrator path of text and then imported into AM a little too jaggy but I was only testing The blue behind the hole was from a volumetric light .My favorite use of booleans was this http://johnl.inform.net/pages/boolmorph.htm

wanted to make sure boolean worked in v12 [attachmentid=16985] 12v+ [attachmentid=16986] cutter a little rough but it is a trial it look pretty dark this size too ..oh well bool.mov bool.zip
