[OBJ Import]

Right here's the deal. I've imported obj models into v10 without any problems. This is the first time I've done it in v10.5 and I find the texture doesn't stay intact after I save the project and re-open it. Even though all the image and decal settings are the exact same. The object is just a red colour. It's really dis-heartening after putting so much work into the model.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Procedural textures?]

Oh yeah I know about that button and it renders properly when I do it that way. It's just the preview (0 key press) that's bad. I don't think procedurals render as a preview unfortunately.

 

ps I'm using the forum too and the "email response" option was on the forum when I wrote the first message of the thread.

[Morph Target.]

Something I've never seen highlighted in AM is morphing. How would you morph between two objects that have been altered outside of AM. Is it possible??

Thanks.

[Procedural textures?]

I'm not aware of that, could you expand on it please? cheers.

 

(Incidently, I didn't get email notification of your reply on this thread or others. I ticked the option, so I wonder if there is a problem...Will?)

[Procedural textures?]

I find that the preview(shaded) view of procedural textures is just a general color. Is it possible to have a better view? Particularly for aligning procedural eyes which is just a black colour. Thanks.

[10.5 real time renderer?]

I was putting the eye material onto a sphere and this was the result in the realtime renderer ie the window. But it renders ok when I do a full render of it. Anyone else get this?

[Little animation in progress]

You should see "Finding Nemo"...or maybe you have!

[Overlapping headings]

Hi! Here's a pic of a problem I found in the Alpha (I also get it sometimes in v10.5 too). I was just messing round with the hair settings and after I rendered a screen, this overlapping on the project workspace occured. The only way to get rid of it was to start up AM again.

It's all about timing.

[Water Simulation Plugin]

Really excellent! Does it take long to render? Is it just CPs moving or do the gammas(is that right?) move also?

[Beginner's tutorial (my first)]

Hey how'd you get that floaty information thingy up? Is that advanced features or soemthing? Good tut btw.

[Balrog--Rapid Prototype]

If they could colour it too, I'd be well impressed!

[Expanding Window?]

Hi. Is there a way to make a window, say choreography, expand by pressing a button? I want it to fill the whole screen. On that subject, is there a way to place a camera at the view you are looking at on the screen?

 

Thanks.

[Physical simulation?]

Hi there!

I want to use AM to test out inventions before actually making them. I wonder how it would be possible to animate balls travelling along tubes and feeling the effects of gravity. I have looked at the bowling simulation on the CD, but I don't know how to set it up! Is there a good online tut anywhere?

Thanks.

[Secret project underway]

Hmm....intruiging, very intruiging.....look forward to seeing more.
