  1. Thanks but I'm still dead in the water. My email receipt said "order is being processed" and got 3 emails from Paypal (supposedly) asking for my ID but it has a gooble-de-gook email address and I think its a scam.

    When I log into Paypal the transaction shows complete with no errors yet I have NO email with the activation number.

    Sent an email to Paypal but no response yet. I'll let you know if anything happens.

    Unfrickinbelievable.

  2. Go thru this every year when I renew (Got a new Computer and trying to get AM on it.) but run into this every year, I buy it-money is charged from my card- and ???????

    no serial number, no download and no instructions- just a receipt in my email with no serial or download instructiions. Is it just ME? What am I doing wrong?

    Any help appreciated.

    Admin update: Jason has fixed this license mishap and Edward is back in operation!

  3. Have a walking character (driven by walking action) with stride length on & constrained to a path.  Fine so far but now I need to tweak the walking so that the characters stance comes to stand straight up at the end of the path but can't alter any skeletal motion with a chor action on any frame where the stride length is active.

    So does stride length "lockout" anytweaking????  Any help appreciated.

  4. Thought I had done this before but now can't bring up the curves for the CP's moving in a Pose. I have a Pose of an eyelid blinking from 0 to 100% and a keyframe at 50% but can't find a way to see the keyframes/curves in a timeline.  I'm getting radical splining happening at the keyframe.  Any help appreciated.

  5. Long ago I used to think that decalling was a simple process but then this started happening. I can stamp this image a dozen times and sometimes it ignores different patches randomly.Anyone else ever run across this or is AM picking on me again? Have tried making the patches larger-no effect. Tried applying decal in an Action with all the CPs flattened completely-no effect.  Tried a TGA-no effect. Higher rez image-no effect.

    I've run out of ideas to try.

    Any help appreciated.

  6. I believe that I selected the one object and hit H, then everything else was hidden and I would work on the selected object easily. Done it many times but may have done what you described above accidentally.

    Thanks

  7. HOLD ON!!!  I am an idiot (Eeeeediot) Tho just hitting "H" key don't work (used to) to bring everything back I found that by going into each object in the PWS and selecting the visible/wireframe icon it brought them back tho one at a time.

  8. Yes here's a screen shot. As you can see everything is still listed in the PWS but nothing is visible in the chor. I've used this function many times after accidentally discovering it while in a Chor. but now can't get anything to come back.

  9. Working in a chor, hit "H" to hide but now all other objects are GONE. Still listed in the PWS but not visible. Anyone heard of this?

    Can't send the PRJ too complex referencing millions of outside items and haven't been able to reproduce it but can't see all but the object i had on when hitting "H"

    Only want to salvage many hrs. of work.

    Any help appreciated.

  10. Must admit to being new to texturing. Been tinkering with AM for 15 yrs. but didn't start using it seriously until couple yrs. ago when I started this project. I'm actually not new to CG tho. Have worked for film and TV for 11 yrs. using Prisms (now Houdini), Softimage and Maya but only as a modeller and animator.

    Learned quite a bit from that tute by Zandoria studios (Balrog) where he manipulates the model in Action to apply the maps. So I'm having some success but still need a lot of help from someone who's been down that road. Just trying to get that "richness" like in the movie "Tin Tin". I know that's quite a leap but have to strive for something. There are SO many things in that film that nobody will ever notice but it all contributes to that amazing quality.

    I'm finding that manipulating the model in Action has its limits, because if the cps have to "stretch" too far you still get stretch artifacts.

    Hope this explains better. Thanks for responding.

  11. Don't have any images of what i mean but if you study films like "Tin Tin" you can see the cloth textures in the close-ups. I know they're usually invisible to the lens but since I have several close-up shots of my character (the one I entered in the "Finish the Unfinished") I'm trying to get more richly textured close-ups. Towards that realistic but "illustrated" look of that film. They textured the CRAP out of EVERYTHING! and it's a beautiful piece of art.

    I'll keep looking for an image that illustrates what I mean and if I find one I'll send it but I hope this explains it better.

  12. What did I do??? See attached pic. NOTHING in the prj. was changed. Open it up today and all my chrome is gone. Environment map worked fine 3 yrs. ago so what has changed and how do i get my chrome back?? I'm sure I'm missing some small detail but can't get the env. map to work like it did before. Any help appreciated.

    Checked the image used and it seems fine.
