  1. Hi hope this gets to you. I rendered at 960 x 540 because any higher than that took astronomically longer times!  No render farms or anything just my 12 yr. old HP Pavillion. Sorry it took so long to respond as I wasn't sure how to do so on the forum.

    Glad you liked it.

  2. Robcat you had noticed that environment maps were only using the top half of the image (when you helped me with env. maps a while back)

    Was there any resolution to that problem?  Now I'm running into it.

      Unfortunately,  it's not an "assigned" problem yet.

      https://reports.hash.com/view.php?id=6963

      You can install v18 and use that for now.

      after you install it, copy your master0.lic file from v19 to v18

      Also try your sound problem on that.

    2. svetlik

      I'll try that. Is v18 on the website somewhere?

      They have an ftp site where old versions can be found.

      ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/windows/

      With your subscription license you can run versions 15 and later.

  3. Sorry, did you send me a sample prj?  If so then I somehow missed it so please send it again and I'll try it.

    thanks

    Found the TransparencyAction.prj - says its unavailable.

      I know it's there, i just re-downloaded it.

      I've sent a PM to Jason to ask if there is anything weird about your accounts permissions. Something must be mis set to keep you from replying or down loading attachments.

      In the mean time... can you see it here?:

      Yes, got it and thanks. I'll check it out.

      Am looking at the thread. Under Recent Posts/content I started - am I in the wrong place?

  5. Stop the presses! Now the transp. in Action works.

    v.Oi Action now shows the transp. channels listed with the bone channels in the tree and it's working! Whereas before only the animated bone channels were listed. (even after turning "list all" icon on.)

    Thanks again robcat, if it weren't for you guys still there I'd have been forced to give up on A.M. a long time ago.

    Here's a pic from my project (if I haven't sent this already)

      Many thanks. So you just assigned surface properties instead of making a material assigned to a group. OK but you had the same result. So I'm NOT hallucinating again (tho oft times I miss them).

      Let me know if there is any update in the future on this please. At eas602@sbcglobal.net and thanks so much for your time helping me on this. Till then I guess I'll just keep the Action window open.

      What is your result when you try my sample prj?

      Ok I'm looking at the "thread"  Under Recent Posts/content I started.  Am I in the wrong place??

  6. Robcat. installed v.Oi as suggested. No difference. Created animated transp. channels in Action for the Group. Closed Action. Reopened same action - no channels. (made sure groups are listed in the tree)

    Double checked to see that I'm running v.Oi - yes.

    Would like to send the Action file but it won't save the channels.

    What am I doing wrong????

  7. Hey. back again with the Action/transparency thing. I thought that maybe my chor. was messed up so I made a new prj from scratch and was able to duplicate the problem.

    Made 2 spheres, making each one a group, assigned a material to each, Opened an Action with them and proceeded to animate the transparency levels - all works fine, the 2 spheres alternate on and off (see attached Action screen shot)

    Close the Action window and when I reopened it everything was there except the animated channels.

    The prj file attached is after said channels vanished into the night. I'm using v.19oh. Are you using same? If you're able to do this but I'm not then I must be doing something different.

    Thanks for your help robcat. Let me know when you get a chance.

  8. robcat thanks for the response. I go thru this every time using the forum. I'm looking at your response and NOWHERE do I see a button that says "respond" so I'm writing this directly to your link.

    As for the Action transparency issue. I was doing exactly what you were suggesting. Created groups, assigned material to those groups and then made keyframes in Action animating the levels of transp. (making lights blink on and off) EXACTLY as you described and when I bring it into the chor. - NO animated transp. Upon re-opening the Action file the transp. animation channels are all GONE. I would send the prj file but it's massive with 5 characters and a shitload of props and images used throughout.

    I'll try to repeat the problem with a simplified project file and send it along to the forum.

    thanks

  9. Is it just me? Where on this page do I respond to people's replies?

      Let me know when/if it changes. It looks normal to me so it must be some blip in user privilege settings.

  10. Also you can email me at eas602@sbcglobal.net as I'm having trouble using the forum.

  11. robcat thanks for responding to my post on the forum re Channels disappearing. Could not figure out how to respond to your message on the forum - not respond button. such an idiot am I.

    anyways I can't reproduce the problem deliberately yet it keeps happening and oddly not to the model I'm trying to edit in the Action or Model window. It picks on some other Model in the chor. I'll try again and do some screen grabs to send.

    thanks again

  12. robcat since it always seems to be you that rescues me I thought I'd ask you a question directly. I'm trying to import any kind of video into AM for a rotoscoping project and having no luck. I'm using Anyvideo converter and several others trying to find a format that can be imported into AM using the imag/seq function and NOTHING is working. Do you have any experience with this kind of thing? Any help would be appreciated beyond measure. (a paycheck hangs in the balance for me on this one) and sorry to be such a pest.

    thanks

     

    Going in circles here cant even figure out how to respond. Sorry. Can you point me to that video again? Not sure if this is getting to you.

      thanks for responding. The last version disk i have is the yeti label version(12 or so?) and it won't run on Windows anymore because windows can't use the disc as a key for whutever fricking reason. How do I get a 32 bit version? do I have to buy it?

      I was able to open the avi file in photoshop and output frames as tga and they seem to work but I would still like to know how to get a 32 bit version installed.

      thanks for your help rob

    4. robcat2075

      robcat2075

      The disc versions were all 32-bit. There is a work-around for the Windows problem on the forum somewhere.

      But A:M is now released in 64-bit, 32-bit and Mac

      If you already have a current sub, you can just download the 32-bit installer and run it. You are on a current sub, right? Here...

      https://forums.hash.com/topic/48860-v190g/

       

      However, I just tried using it and it crashes on my machine. I'll put in a bug report.

      If you need 32-bit now, try the v18 version , found on the ftp site...
