Coming along nicely, Gerald. There is something going on under her chin, front of neck... can't tell. Looks great for a WIP!

Thats very cool... I had to do a knot untie once before... it was 'muscle mode' to the rescue, here's the link: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?act=a...st&id=53645 I would be interested in your method, Serg!

COOLIO! Your buoy looks like something I made a little while ago... at about :15 in...

Has a glass-shatter look to it... interesting!

An awesome watch... was that REALLY 2003??? Did Dusan use A:M for Chickory and Coffee? Great job on the forum, Rodney!

Great study!

Yes, it was both those guys that hooked me. I saw Alien Song at a Siggraph in 1999 and Raf Anzovin was a presenter, speaking before about 18 people in the aisle at the Hash booth. Happy Birthday(s) Both are animation 'Gods' now... and our forum is WAY off their radar screens.

Oh-NO! Will's birthday? I didn't have time to SHOP! Have a GREAT day, Will!

This is gonna be one hot ride... am I seeing some weird splineage at the bottom of the door, or is that reflections?

I seem to remember you need to keep 'upping' the force value until you see effect... are you 'up' to around 4,000 or 5,000 yet? Great animation!

You can download some great models here on the forum... to sort of 'backwards engineer' how they are made.

YES, you have the general idea correct!

What's weird is that they appear fine initially, then degrade and stay degraded. Perhaps a glitch/bug. It has never really bothered me- I figured it was the app being tactile.

Would it help to turn OFF and ON the 'show decals' button... page up down a couple of times and give the spacebar a good 'whump!'...?

whoosh! THAT is fantastic... you did that in A:M??? Can we get Jason to put this on the Facebook page?(if Roger does not mind) I was wondering too, if this was going to be a 'prop' in your railroad project. Looking at old 'creampuffs' like this, it always strikes me... isn't that too much car and not enough tire? You have something going on with the windows... like refraction or a transparent decal to fog it up... or something, whatever it is- it WORKS! And the reflection on the bumpers, nice! Great work Rodger, thank-you for showing it! I'm going back to drool over it for a while now...

Yes. If a picture is worth 1,000 words... an animation is worth... I dunnoh- you do the math. I have BEGGED image contest winners and placers in the past to PLEASE do a slight camera move on your scenery. We all work so hard to produce 1 image... when... while we are sleeping the software can actually produce thousands of images that can make MUCH better use of our hard work.... and NetRender is great, but you don't really-really need it to render a simple sequence. I hope more people will take your lead. Anyway- Thanks, I enjoyed that.

Are the hot-dogs done yet? Cool effect! There seems to be a grid pattern at the beginning... but that is probably the nature of the beast.

AND- being from Windsor, ONT in the heart of the 'rust-belt'... you know all too well about rust holes and salt corrosion!

That's what I was referring to, when I said 'sometimes a visit to AI is necessary'... I could not remember the tool... but to open-up your 'islands' (as I call them, like the inside of an 'o' or 'e') you do need to use that pathfinder tool, as Fucher says.

Gosh! Screw the dents... show us the whole taxi! They look great, technically they are dings- not dents.

Sometimes, the dynamic constraint will change itself unwarranted... and the 'Simulate on the fly' setting will become OFF instead of ON. Just go back to wherever you applied the DC, and check that setting- at the very bottom of the properties for the DC...

I'd say you still got it!

pngs are lossless... should be a step above jpegs...

That back alley scene is looking GREAT! Should help to spur many an idea!

Very creepy...while very preppie!
