Yeah Vern that's my idea exactly.. has to be FLAT!! nothing fancy options wise... just a simple "CLOSE" function after ur shape is created.. say you create a circle you will be able to add CPs without affecting the closed shape; so you will always maintain a closed solid shape as you tweak and create ur 2D surface.. This will eliminate having to add extra details in order to just "CLOSE" the shape.. To cut a hole within the shape either use the boolean function or just have the shape drawn within the shape automatically create a hole. If I knew anything about programming I would give it a shot..

Sure it might be unrealistic but am not asking hash to do it......just saying it would be nice to have.

I agree vern I think this would be an awesome feature in A:M...... The idea would be to have a spline form act like a "NURB" shape since A:M has a fluid organic spline style already all that will be needed is a way to fill it without the need for extra details...But you will still be able to add cps if need be and not affect the closed shape.... Maybe one of the pro plug-in programmers can come up with something

That sword is brilliant!!!

Many thanks for the feedback gentlemen.. nimblepix - Am def considering animating in this simple style.... heyvern - Vern thanks alot, here is a wireframe it's not clean as I would like it to be but am working on a more efficient method.. *** I just have a plane thats white with an avrg "Ambiance Intensity" 30% then I place everything on top of it with only one spot light plus toonrender on... ***

I have been working on some 2D Illustrations in A:M sorta going back to my roots; the work I use to do before getting into 3D....these were done directly within A:M they were not imported, would like some feedback as to what you think of them... Am working on being more efficient with the slpines trying to keep it simple but it becomes complex when connecting the shapes... -2D- -3D-

pretty cool I like ur tribal Phoenix....I just started playing with this but it was done directly in A:M.....it's not smooth or close to being neat but thanks to Eugene's tuts I can def improve on it some more..

Lovely scene..... Those odd shadows can be fixed my tweaking the Toon Line Bias settings......

Great job on the car Stian....

http://www.alienlogo.com/tincan/ Jeff Cantin's tuts were the only ones that made me understand A:M as a noob!!

Looking great Kelly... I find the textures very low res but no big deal....... I look forward to ur progress...

Awesome character Michael....love the render......... nice to see you again.......

very cool, I like the overall simple design...... has a futuristic feel to it...

LOL...... ARTZ thats a excellent model......right up my alley......

I recently got a gig to create a rose.....never did one before but they are tricky- I did one cartoon style......not to bad I thought.... I just created a profile and extruded it all the way around and tweaked it....

Really great model.....what's ur lighting style?

-Thanks for the feedback guys..... mage - They are for a 3D comic book am releasing in 2009.......

Had some time to tweak my character... will have more updates soon...

That worked....thanks so much Rob......CHEERS!!

When I render a scene and I add a bloom post effect, after rendering I get two windows...... One with the basic image and other with the bloom effect added..... now when I try to save the image with the bloom effect within A:M it saves it as a COMPOSITE.cmp file..... but I can't access it.....can't save it as a JPG..... I want the image with my bloom effect... any help would be great.......

Looking good man....keep up the good work.....

Cool...... The way I approach modeling is viewing the model in half.....it makes it more simple for me to visualize it although u have rotoscopes....

Don't mind if i join in on the fun also.......

Simply amazing......if i have to be picky I would say dirty up the plane a bit.....ur always an inspiration keep up the excellent work....

Thats simply one of the best cars I have ever seen...... I look forward to ur model
