If you can afford it: Use a NAS. Everything from 2-bay up will save u a lot of headache.
(yeah I know... good advise when it is lost already... )Best regards
*Fuchur*you would think that after dealing with this sort of stuff for 38+ years i would know better... but alas that''s not the case. Cloud storage is the best solution now a days

but what about the waves breaking on the beach..the curl of the wave , the froth as it hits the beach. would there be some way of mapping a video of that onto a mesh I wonder.

Damn, it's been a rough year! I hope your LLC is successful, Paul.
Thanks David! I've got six other people in this too, in many ways I'm more concerned for their futures. But it is what it is. The worst part of the year has been a catastophic disk crash that lost all of my current A:M work. Yup, that's right. The age old story of backing up and data loss. I shot myself in the foot on that one!

Sorry to hear about the job dislocation, Paul!
No recourse about that signed contract? Ouch!
I at least was given 2 months of insurance and severance pay until end of December. But who ever says the job market is good and companies are hiring, I want what they are smoking.. because it has got to be some good Sh!t. Since August I have had only two interviews, tomorrow being a third for on position. And I'd like to think I am in a "senior" level IT level. Doesn't matter now a days.

So, here I am. Thought I'd give an update since it has been nearly a year since I posted anything. Work truly got the better of me this year. The software company I worked for (Tibco) was part of a merger with Citrix, which in turn gave rise to Cloud Software Group (CSG). The new CEO of CSG, the hired hatchet man from the venture capital owners then decided that he didn't like consultants so started a quiet layoff in January under the guise of restructering bonus and payscales. Before we were eligible for quarterly bonuses, he changesd them to anual, tied to division performance and not individual performance. Basically encouraging managers to do more with less. Then in June he decided to sell of the consulting group entirely which led to layoffs in August. Me and my team, even though I had just got a quarter mill contract signed days before, were laid off on august 10th. I have been looking for a new gig since then without much luck. The folks I work with and I decided in September to form our own LLC, and from that Seamless Integration Group LLC was formed. We are now in the the beginning stages of developing a SaaS data quality and AI platform for the healthcare industry. To say I have been a bit stressed over paying the mortgage is an understatement. But I am still among the living, just not feeling as creative as I'd like to be.

Looks like you are anticipating many contest winners to come!
-
No worries sir! I was just bragging about this contest to a few folks and tickled my aging brain cells!
-
was there anything sent out for this contest. Rob you do an amazing job on these contest, and while I haven't been able to participate recently I do feel a bit of pride in achieving even an honorable mention! My wall is papered in certificates... with a special spot for this contest.

Dude, we hear you. You are holding am on your shoulders and there is no need for "sorries".

Thanks Dan!

So I tried a distortion box...got in the weeds real quick.. so I backed up, simplified and came up with the attached. I remodeled the arrows to have bones so I could shape it any way I wanted. The binary scroll is a cookie cut on a simple mesh with a bone on every spline, then I just hand keyframed the whole shebang.

Robert that is exactly the look I was shooting for
-
ok.. here's a question. I want to animate a string of binary text along the center spline of these arrows, each at different rates. What's the best way to do that?
The string I want to move is this:
01100010 01110101 01111001 00100000 01001111 01101101 01101110 01101001 01001000 01100101 01100001 01101100 01110100 01101000 00100000 01000100 01100001 01110100 01100001

when dealing in the world of CLOUD and big data...it always involves binary gear oil... and snake oil..
we build our planes as they are running down the runway.. charging by the minute.

Roger.. if I made every penny I earned I could have retired years ago. But it is what it is.
Robert.. Voice overs are certainly something I am working on. Next presentation I am mixing A:M animations into it... trying to build a quick gear like animation. I'm trying to breath life into something like this:
-
marketing is nothing but the current fad!
I do think that better animations (aka A:M assets) mixed in what add a bit more breadth and depth
-
put this together using a whiteboard animation product... it's rough as hell, but I used it as a learning endeavor
-
i need a demonstration that a) convinces salespeople to sell this product (not as easy as it would seem) and b) convince a hospital to invest a cool million on it.
healthcare is a bitch to sell to, and I need something that grabs. and I truly hate powerpoint. I live in it..its horrible.
-
In my professional life as a software engineer I have been thrust into being responsible for pre-sales efforts for one of our products (mastering solution for healthcare). I need to put together a decent presentation of the capabilities of the product to first educated our own salesforce, and thought, 'whiteboard animation'. Came across doodly, but got turned off by reviews and warnings on the product. So begin to think about the animation product I know and love, A:M. Question is can it be workflowed to the point of producing a good presentation of say five minutes ... quickly and easily... thoughts? Ideas?

Roger..if there were a better option I would take it.
Shelton....I am working on a bit just to get back into the workflow... I do think I need a better rig...and perhaps the mo cap challenge from this summer is a good place for me to play around....

The people who own the A.I. and robots will have more money and will very likely make even more money with them in future.
The people who do not own something like that (the majority of people): What should they do? Do we get 60% unemployment rates or more? What will happen then?Best regards
*Fuchur*Well, I can only speak for myself, but I am currently working on an AI engine that classifies diseases for a "major" metropolitan area in the states..and I aint getting rich!

Welcome back to A:M!
Sorry to hear of the disruptions in your job!
"105%" sounds sneaky....
not sneaky...overworked. Means I am billing over 40 hours a week to clients. In other words overworked and underpaid!
Happy Birthday
