I'll add my applause to the accolades...congrats on a completed A:M project!

would you then wrap the cloth kernals around a mesh in the shape of a cob?

that is looking good!

thanks for the update Chris...

That's rule number one in the software dev biz I'm in. I've gotten fairly good at asking the same question in multiple ways of what they want... so for the color of the background Q: do you want it white or black? A: Limbo Q: sooooo not black? A Not Black... Q: soooo white? A: yessss Limbo.

Can't wait for my DVD!

Getting down to the wire, needing to get the presentation completed and turned in to the powers that be by weeks end. This little bit is almost done. It's supposed to illustrate a process channel that takes a submitted file, process it in then moves it along to the next stage. testa.mov

And to think I watched that just before dinner. Not quite so hungry now!

Ah sweet success! That's what I needed Robert.

the decal was simply applied..no plugins..but I'm wondering if perhaps a material would be better suited? Is there a quick and "easy" way to use an image as a material, and if so how. I've gone thru the forum and found no tuts, and materials are so far still a black art for me.

nope...but I think I need to rework them since they don't have any thickness to them...

So I'm trying to build a palm tree....have it nearly where I want it, but am having an issue with the decal for the trunk. After applying it it shows fine in the model window and the chor like so but when I render it looks like this.. Nothing I do will get the decal to repeat properly for the entire length of the trunk. Any ideas??

Will, merch needs to follow the shorts. I'd set up a kickstarter campaign, use the merchandise you have as rewards for those who sign up. Follow largento's model, based on his experience you should be able to put together some first round founding for a pilot. Or better yet a Zandoria channel on youtube.

Starting round 27 with my bonnie Irish Lass! It's a wonder she still puts up with me!

Married?? Well congratulations and welcome to the club! I've given thought to the kickstarter idea myself, but it seems to get interest going there needs to be some niche that the project can fit into that would get it visibility. I'd love to use it to fund a pilot for tv network broadcast, that would be my end all be all.

All the best as you age one more year!

Darkwing, that is one phenomenal image!

I wasn't digging the decals I used, so I re-worked the inlet and used a darktree copper material. Robcat, I'm liking the motion you used. I had thought that the top portion seemed too stiff. testa.mov

I've been invited to give an advanced tech talk on developing an edi system for healthcare claims in June. It has to be done as a power point presentation, but me being me I don't want to do just an hours worth of slides, so I plan on doing several slides interspersed with the tech speak with some animated slide s. One of them is an illustration of the system as whole as a rube goldberg like machine. This is a test I just threw together of the first piece, which will be an inlet belching envelopes onto a conveyor belt. test.mp4

Indiana Jones!!!

That is how I rendered the images as shown in my previous post I only had a problem when I had stereo ON. why not participate, then have someone else render for you??

perhaps this works for ya

Put it in the main A:M forum, and put the zip directly in the post, not ftp. It's only 20MB, make it easy to find and easy to download. And give it an obvious title like "2012 A:M Forum Collaboration Project" It is here
