    Upgrade or not?

    in (2003-2004)

    Posted

    I do have a question about upgrading. I can upgrade now to 2003 but I

    believe 2004 is currently in beta. What are the new features between 2002

    and 2003? What are the new ( anticipated) features between 2003 and 2004?

    I'm asking so that I can make an informed decision on upgrading now or

    waiting a few months. (There are no new things I NEED in AM I can think of;

    I just imagine that an upgrade once every while is fun spoiling myself.)

    In my humble opinion, if you're still using 9.5x, the work you save in lack o' cr*shes will more than make up for the money spent upgrading, even at this late date.

     

    That said, traditionally the new subscription has gone on sale in January, so if you want the most bang for your buck, wait until then.

    P.S. From my own perspective: I only upgraded two months ago, so I spent $99 for a half-year. I haven't regretted it for one second. :)

     

    And P.P.S. since rereading your post, I realized I didn't actually, y'know, ANSWER your question. :unsure: Here's a page which talks about the new features:

    Parents' Choice Gold Award

    Just to toot our own horn a bit, the new winner of the Parents' Choice Gold Award for a children's instructional video was just awarded to Slim Goodbody's "Life Skills 101." All the character animation, comprising about 70 percent of the content, was done by Anzovin Studio in A:M.

    Hot damn! Well done, you guys!

    Slowing down and action?

    in (2003-2004)

    Hey gang,

     

    Is there a simple way to slow down a chorography action? I've got=

    a

    little character who's action is pretty good but it just happens=

    to

    fast. I did the animating in the chor and I used the "straight=

    ahead"

    animating approach so unfortunately it's not as simple as=

    dragging

    keyframes apart. Is there a way to just stretch his whole action?=

    So

    that it takes say 260 frames instead of 180?

     

    Thanks for any help,

     

    -Ethan

    Simple answer: Move Frames in the edit menu.

     

    Complex answer: Make sure you have every kind of keyframe button (rotate, translate, pose, etc.) pressed down that you want to affect your move frames operation. Then, have at it. You can choose to scale by percentage or exact time.

    So, who do I have to bribe to become an "Advanced Member"?

     

    And what will that get me?

     

    "Don't tell anyone, Zach, but Randy slipped me the code for the 'Dragon Button'... advanced members only!"

     

    (And you just know it's OS X native.)

     

    And what comes after "Advanced"? Superhuman? Jedi? Navone? ;)

     

    Perspiring minds want to know.
