Roger - If you get A:M working in Virtualbox I for one would like to see a tutorial. Thanks for your efforts!

Thanks all. I'll muddle through with my Mac until support gets on this. I worked a bit with it this weekend and it's not as bad as I initially thought it would be. Granted I'm not rendering any scenes yet, just modeling, but I've got enough tutorials to get through at the moment. I'll be patient. Appreciate all the thoughts. Looking forward to getting the new version up and running on PC though.

Can anyone here walk me through installing an old A:M. version on a windows 10 machine (if possible). I tried with XP compatibility with zero luck. im stuck in limbo land with waiting for support. Thanks!

No but I will - so long as this pertains to Windows 10pro as well? Thanks.

Hi all - I've purchased a pc for A:M. Initially I installed A:M on a Mac (no good). Now I wish to switch my installation to my pc and have contacted support. How long can I expect to wait, want to scale my expectations and not be too impatient? - but I am anxious to get going. I've even thought of purchasing it again and then asking for a refund for the initial purchase if it is going to take too long. Thank you.

Cancel that sorry.

Hey robcat2075 - I ordered a (used) computer and should have it soon. I saved all my earlier Hash books, cd's, dvd's so I should have enough to get me back into A:M and then some. Thanks for setting me on a path.

Thanks man! All the help and advice is much appreciated!

Took your advice robcat2075 and got the annual subscription. I'm now looking for a decent used desktop PC. I registered under Mac but will switch once I get the computer - hoping that won't be an issue. Wondering if I can still use the old training materials or if the program has changed that much over the years. Any thoughts?

OK one more ... if I decide to get the Full package for 299.00 can someone explain the dvd options? So, I get the manual and what? extra models, etc? Which option should I chose for windows? .exe? Thanks for any more information.

Thanks again!

Since Windows Vista precedes 7 I presume it will run all right ( i have an oldish laptop with this OS). So, can one bring a newer pc to a tech and have an older version of windows installed on it? I presume yes....? Or get a new PC and buy a lifetime license I suppose would be the easiest. Thanks for the reply robcat2075!

Hi all - wishing to return to A:M as a hobbyist. Can a newer windows machine be configured to run the old software, in my case version 12 (yeti, 2006). No sense to me to upgrade since I've got it and it will be for fun. Thanks for any info. -Doug

I know this thread is old but I have just seen your film. Fascinating, creepy and extraordinary. Well done sir! -SE

Thanks Fuchur.

Hi all - I'm considering upgrading my old version to the latest and greatest. If I were to upgrade to the current version with a non-expiring version what would this cost? Sorry if this has been answered but I looked around and didn't find the answer. Regards, -Doug

Nice work, looks great but I'd love to see a closer shot with all that detail. Cool stuff. ..d

Just beautiful, incredible work Dusan! Every post I find myself staring at the monitor with my jaw on the floor. I cannot wait to see where this goes. ..d

Odog - I would also head over to the radiosity section of this forum. There is a wealth of info there and many of your questions have already been both asked and answered there. My "personal lighting study" thread has alot of info (not from me but many others)that address some of the points that Will made re: color of glass, refraction, caustics, etc. Best of luck with your project. ..doug

Superb and insane detail! Wowie. Is this for personal work or for a job? Will we get a walk through? Great job as always. ..doug

Yeah I still have my "rough cut" saved somewhere. I hope you get back to it, cuz I thought it was going really well. I often wonder the same thing though with my unbelievably long project. What if when I get it complete it sucks? And then i just have to put that out of my mind. hehe Anyhow, back to your thread. Cool stuff. ..doug

Jeepers that is terriffic animation ! Nice characters and rendering to boot. Yeah, this guy was from "Clothesline". David, what's up with that? Enquiring minds want to know. ..doug

Hiya Zaryin - Great progress, very nice changes and the hair is swell. How about adding a touch of yellow (mild), in keeping with the earth tones it could be fall leaves. Just a thought. Might be a nice contrast. Then again it might look like puke. hehe ..doug

Jamagica - Actually no I don't. I'll have to think on that (whether or not it's necessary for the short). Thanks for the suggestion. ..doug

Hi Jeff - I too think she is looking pretty darn cool. My opinion (for what it's worth to you) is that her forehead, esp from a front view seems very broad. Coupled with the high forehead that you've given her makes her look more masculine, to my eyes. edit - upon a further look and thinking about it some more, maybe what i'm seeing is not enough definition on the forehead and temples. Maybe if there were a tad more detail there it might "feminize" her a bit. I love the lighting tests you're doing, in particular the one Frank commented on. Very cool. ..doug
